Fixed in the next release. Not difficult to do, but needed some time to think
about it.
Direct access will allow exclude to specify a list of file wildcards to be
excluded, and then filename to specify a list of file wildcards to be
included. The exclude list has priority.
Both can be a list of wildcards, for example:
exclude: "est*.dat gss*.dat sts*.dat wgs*.dat"
