Folders are ambidextrous, but not when Excludes (& I suppose, Includes) are involved.
Excludes are not ambidextrous.


You can add a folder,
c:/tmp/
or
c:\tmp\
.
Both are accepted & show files/directories within c:/tmp/.

Though if you add an Exclude, say
c:\tmp\atheros\
, the Exclude must use back-slashes (\).
And, the Exclude only works if you had also used back-slashes in the (above) folder name, so only with
c:\tmp\
.

Exclude filters are strict.

/ and \ must match exactly.
