Given how much time some people are wasting [trying to figure out how to exclude a certain folder](https://forum.duplicati.com/t/sucessful-backup-but-always-3-warnings/1563/8?u=tophee), I though I’d suggest that whenever you select a filter, you get a quick explanation/example of how to use it:

Perhaps a static / default collapsed explanation div can be added directly to that GUI “inside” the Filters div.
