Problem with subfolders on CF-card

I'm very new to cam2pc but like it very much.

I'm using a Casio QV-3500EX which stores pictures on a CF-card with the following folder structure:

X:\DCIM\
X:\DCIM\QVCAM.QVS
X:\DCIM\100_0606\
X:\DCIM\100_0606\100_0606.QVS
X:\DCIM\100_0606\0606xxxx.JPG
...
X:\DCIM\100_0606\PREVIEW\
X:\DCIM\100_0606\PREVIEW\0606xxxx.JPG
...
X:\SCENE\
X:\SCENE\SCENE.QVS

When I copies pictures from my camera to cam2pc it either copies both big pictures and previews into one folder (flatten structure) or it creates a folder containing date and comment as configured plus the complete existing structure of the CF-card.

This means that I either have to skip all previews which is a lot of work (I can't virtually differentiate identical looking small and normal pictures at all because I don't see any path or size) when moving 200 pictures OR I have to move and kill some folders and rename others which is less work but still more than I had hoped.

My question:
Is there a way to specify folder names and/or paths (including subfolders) and suffixes which will be excluded from the copy process?
Then I could enter the PERVIEW folder and all QVS-files to be kept on the card or even better to be killed after all pictures have been moved successfully. Something like "Do you want to remove the remaining/excluded folders and files?".

Hello,

excluding files when download is available in the Shareware version.

Thanks for the hint. I'll try that version.

Does this also include folders? I can't exclude *.jpg for the previews which have the very same name as the big pictures but in a parent folder.

Maybe you could add selection by size? Then I could exclude all files with less than say 20-50 kb because the big pictures have at least 500 kb.

I tried adding PREVIEW and *.QVS to the exclusions list but I still got every thumbnails in the preview folder. It obviously only works with file names but I need folders, too. I think that at least every owner of a Casio digicam has the same problem.
Please, will you add folders and maybe even selection by size to the exclusions list? Thanks.
