Cache folders not being ignored

Support
1

Despite having the “Exclude filter group: Cache Files” option enabled, I still periodically get warnings like these on both my Linux and Mac machines. I’ve since excluded just the folders that are affected using “exclude folder” instead. I’m on 2.0.4.5_beta_2018-11-28.

Warnings: [

It looks like the “Cache Files” filter group currently ignores */Google/Chrome/*cache*, which only works for Windows:

Interesting. Thanks for the info.
