By making sure the folder you don't want imported isn't in a folder that is being watched by MC for auto-import.

You can't exclude folders within folders being watched for auto-import. You have to make sure they're not in a watched folder.

MMM that makes it hard, It is a folder that is in a watched folder.

I thought maybe if I put a dot or star in front of that folder it would ignore it

It would be nice if MC could skip folders that contain some marker file like ".mcignore" for instance. Sometimes I just need a temporary skip while playing with the folder structure/content, or when there's a particular movie/series folder that is not yet ready for import.

Set up Auto-Import.  Check the wiki.  You can edit and exclude folders.

On the drive that I scan I have 3 folders,
1. Movies
2. TV
3. Documents
I wanted to exclude 3 Documents
I went to auto import but could not see any of the folders

Add the folders there.
Add anything you want to exclude there.

I don't know. Is there a NAS involved?

Hi AD, I have, amongst others...
Watched: F:\Incoming\Music
Excluded: F:\Incoming\Music\Upgrade

Watched: D:\Pictures\ [System Images Folder]
Excluded: D:\Pictures\Lightroom

And these have both worked perfectly for more than a decade. Why might your experience be different?
