Folder/File Types Ignore

I use gPhotoShow Pro 11. I recently added a new folder in the Images section that I want to use. However, it contains several subfolders w/images. Some of the subfolders I do not want to be shown. I know I could simply relocate these folders, but I do not want to. Does this app have the ability to pick/choose only the folders in this master folder I want to display? Same thing for file types in these folders. Some folders have a mix of jpg, png, etc. Possible to tell it to display e.g. only jpg and not the png.? -thank you

What is possible depends heavily on your folder layout. If you have a limited number of subfolders within a main directory, you can add the subfolders to the list instead of the main directory. However, if the subfolders are deeply nested, it becomes impossible.
Another option is to use "Global Exclusions"; this is feasible if you have a limited number of directories to exclude.
Go to the "Global Exclusions" page, click on "File & Folders list," and then add the folders you wish to exclude.
To exclude file extensions, tick the "File and folder names containing:" option and enter *. followed by the extensions—for example: "*.png;*.tif" (without quotes !)

Thank you for reply. Unfortunately I desire a target-specific and not a 'global' solution. The attached image better illustrates the 'pick & choose' solution I have in mind that would likely reside at the Image folder assignment section of Settings.

Unfortunately, that solution is not possible. Given the way the program is designed, it is not feasible.
