We have locked folders, but only one folder can be added at a time. And because of #101, locked folders have to be re-added every time.

Also, if a person has several folders they want to be locked that share a common string, such as keep me or dont delete, etc, adding support for wildcard strings for locked folders would make that process a lot easier.

Thanks for the suggestion !
I’m not sure how you’d like it to work though : you’d want to select a folder, set a wildcard, and only lock folders within that first folder which match the wildcard ?

I'm thinking a text box on the locked folder screen. It would say to enter any wildcard strings to match folder names that you want to have locked. The user would then enter into the text field something like: *keep*, *special*, *grandma*

Then all folders containing those strings would be locked. So graduation 2021 - keep me, Special vids, Grandma bday, grandma 1965 would all be locked.

Case insensitive, comma-separated, and stars (*) are wildcards

In addition to this, it'd be nice to be able to exclude folders based off of wildcard strings so that they are never to be searched or processed at all. This would save time for those files we dont care about to be needlessly search and processed and save the user time and make the whole process faster too
