Sorry - my mistake. I was looking at a profile that used Versioning and Versioning Filters, but it was using
*.html
which it will let you enter, because * includes ('catches') the backslash any folder starts with. For the same reason, it would let you enter
*BSE____.*
But if you try to enter something without a leading * it will silently add the *\ prefix. Strictly speaking, that last one should filter out an SBSE____.* file anywhere in the tree, but you can add both
*BSE____.*
*\SBSE____.*
to be sure. I'm not 100% sure if the latter would catch any temp files in the root of scope (and I don't have time to test right now), but if you include the former, it should certainly do so.
Note the examples in KB 269 all refer to inclusion filters. The above are exclusion filters. They don't need any special entries to ensure it scans all folders because the * in the inclusion list (?) is doing that for you already. The exclusion filters on the right (of the dialog) work on what it finds by following where it's told to scan on the left
