TL;DR:

Code:

ExcludeSyncFolders=\\.(?!kobo|adobe).*?

(In the FeatureSettings section)

The thing to remember is that this is sandwiched inside a

Code:

^/mnt/(sd|onboard)/%1$

so, can't use ^ or $, and that QSettings probably wants some stuff escaped, hence \\. for \. (i.e., match a dot, instead of any character, to avoid what @frostschutz just described with the default patterns

).

@frostschutz: I think some DEs do use numbered trashes, for some reason, so \.Trash-\d+ would make sense

. Or just all-in-one: \.Trash.*?

EDIT: Except that both backslash would need to be escaped here

.
