Bug: Exclude set to exclude folder+subfolders doesn't work on first time

I believe I've found a bug.

 

I want to exclude a certain folder (and its subfolders), but when setting the rule up, Defraggler doesn't honor the rule the first time I save it. Instead, I have to click Edit, change nothing, click OK twice, and then it is properly excluded.

 

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Go to Settings -> Options -> Exclude
  2. Add -> Drive or Folder -> Choose a Folder
  3. Make sure Recurse Subfolders is checked
  4. Click OK
  5. Note: The rules list shows the folder is set to be excluded, but the rule ends with "\"
  6. Click OK
  7. Perform a defrag (I do a Quick Defrag)
  8. BUG: Defraggler defrags files that are in subfolders of the excluded rule

Additional workaround steps (which may be useful in determining the bug's cause):

  1. Go back to the rules list
  2. Select the rule and click Edit
  3. Change nothing, but click OK
  4. Note: The rules list now shows the folder is set to be excluded, and the rule ends with "\*" (note the asterisk)
  5. Click OK
  6. Perform a defrag (I do a Quick Defrag)
  7. Defraggler correctly ignores files and subfolders that were excluded from the rule.

Can you please fix this?

Thanks,

Jacob
