How can I skip directories?

I can't seem to get it to work; I've tried not name:, not contains: and several other variants, but none seem to work - what am I doing wrong?

I realize that this is a month late. If you're still trying to sort it out (or for those that find this question in a Google search), you need to use the "exclude_dirs" option described on this page:

I had forgotten about this. Yeah, I found you can do it with the following syntax:

rules:
  - name: "Sorting documents in \"documents\""
    locations:
      - path: "documents"
        exclude_dirs: ['github', 'variety', 'dotfiles', '.config', '.local']
    subfolders: true
    filters:
        - created
        - name
        - extension: *doc
    actions:
        - echo: "{path}"
        - move: "documents/{created.strftime('%Y')}/{created.strftime('%m')}/{created.strftime('%d')}/{extension.lower()}/{name | replace(' ', '_') | lower()}.{extension.lower()}"

I noticed that with the following setup, though, you cannot declare multiple dirs in path.

the "no multiple dirs" is a deal breaker :(

I struggle with skipping directories as well. Taking the example from above I might have:

documents/.config
documents/subdir/.config
documents/othersubdir/.config
documents/othersubdir/test/.config

If I just want to exclude documents/othersubdir/.config how can I do that?

rules:
  - name: "Sorting documents in \"documents\""
    locations:
      - path: "documents"
        exclude_dirs: ['documents/othersubdir/.config']
    subfolders: true

or

rules:
  - name: "Sorting documents in \"documents\""
    locations:
      - path: "documents"
        exclude_dirs: ['othersubdir/.config']
    subfolders: true

does not work in my case.

    filters:
      - not mimetype: "inode/directory"

This might work
