Ability to remove single folder from project

[shideon]

What if it's the reverse of ^ that? What if I want to ONLY exclude a base dir by a certain name but not any others named the same?

E.g.,
/exclude
/other/exclude

Excluding all directories named "exclude" is simple.
"folder_exclude_patterns": ["exclude"]

Excluding the other/exclude directory but NOT the base exclude directory is also simple.
"folder_exclude_patterns": ["other/exclude"]

However, excluding the base "exclude" but NOT the other/exclude directory does not seem possible since...

We already know this fails since it matches all patterns which isn't the goal.
"folder_exclude_patterns": ["exclude"]

This unfortunately doesn't work as expected. it matches NEITHER "exclude" directory.
"folder_exclude_patterns": ["/exclude"]

This last ditch attempt fails as well.
"folder_exclude_patterns": ["exclude/"]

Any thoughts?

PS - GREAT editor! Vintage mode is awesome.
