How to exclude s specific import directory from a view ?

[hoep]

I tried to play a little bit with the vfs views and took the "sage Imports (Combined)" as a basis. The xml-Code is:

<view name="sagevideoimportsv7" label="Videos" flat="false">
   <option name="children-only" value="true"/>
   <description>View of All Sage Video Sources</description>
   <tag value="video"/>
     <source name="sagefilesystem">
        <option name="content" value="VideosByFolder"/>
     </source>
     <presentation>
        <sort by="title">
            <option name="folders-first" value="true"/>
        </sort>
      </presentation>
</view>

This gives me a goup of folder names which is fine. The folder names are e.g.: "Dokumentationen", "Eltern-BD", "Eltern-DVD"... which are my import folders. Is there a possibility to exclude now "Dokumentationen" with a filter command ?
Thanks for your help.

issue solved: for everybody who is interested:

<!DOCTYPE vfs SYSTEM "vfs.dtd">
<vfs>
    <views>

        <view name="elternvideos" label="01 - Eltern-Videos" flat="false">
            <option name="children-only" value="true"/>
        
            <description>View of All Sage Video Sources</description>

            <tag value="video"/>

            <view-source name="videos"/>
            <view-source name="dvd"/>
            <view-source name="bluray"/>    
                
            <filter by="filepath" scope="exclude" value="Dokumentationen|Familie|Kinder-BD|Kinder-DVD|Kinder-HD|Kinder-SD|Kinder-Serien|Musik-DVD" />
            

            <presentation level="1">
                                <sort by="title"/>
                        </presentation>
        </view>
    </views>
</vfs>

Unfortunately, you cannot use a filter when using the Sage Import source. If you did apply a filter at the root level, then it would basically flatten the structure, then apply the filter, and as a result, you'd lose the folder structure.

You could try to add a filter to the <presentation> like,

<filter by="title" value="Dokumentationen" scope="exclude"/>

so it might look like this..

<view name="sagevideoimportsv7" label="Videos" flat="false">
   <option name="children-only" value="true"/>
   <description>View of All Sage Video Sources</description>
   <tag value="video"/>
     <source name="sagefilesystem">
        <option name="content" value="VideosByFolder"/>
     </source>
     <presentation>
        <filter by="title" value="Dokumentationen" scope="exclude"/>
        <sort by="title">
            <option name="folders-first" value="true"/>
        </sort>
      </presentation>
</view>

I don't know if that will work.
