Folder exclusion

[arkadycamelot]

First of all thank you for your work!
Here's the idea: would it be possible to create a folder exclusion feature?
e.g. the steamapps folder gets compressed, BUT any game folders added to the exclusion list get skipped.
It would be really useful for DirectStorage games which don't benefit from compression (Monster Hunter Wilds sadly comes to mind...)!

Also trying to find discussion on this and really amazed that there isn't any mention in the documentation - this post is the first I've found on the topic. It seems like such a ridiculous thing to not include. I'm hoping it might be smart enough to auto-exclude those Steam games that use the DS API, but would really like manual control for assurance and just... further granular control.

@jessicaknotts the documentation is absolute hot garbage because I've never taken the time to write it lol.

Also there's no real good excuse for why I don't have folder exclusion set up, it's just that all these projects I have are hobbies and I can't work on them all at once in addition to my day job :)

My goal is still to have per-game exclusions with folder and wildcard support. Honestly it shouldn't take that long to implement, it's just a matter of spinning up the motivation to do it.

Sorry, I don't mean to be a dick about it. Just frustrated over what seems like an obvious and relatively simple thing to have. Unfortunately, I admittedly don't have the skills to contribute such things.
