Description

Describe the feature you'd like to request

I have added ".nomedia", ".noimage", ... to a bigger share. Unlikely all the subfolders are still scanned.

Describe the solution you'd like

The exclude tags should also exlude the subfolders. It is simply not practical to add ".nomedia" to all of the round about 200 subfolders

Describe alternatives you've considered

Alternatively ther could be an extra tag ".nosubfolders" to exclude all subfolders from scan.
