My current setup:
Total Bit Rate and Dimensions enabled, but not indexed. So they are read each time I do a search.
I want to keep them non-indexed as I have a ton of media files that would make a full rescan take ages.
The problem is that I want to exclude certain folders (slow drives, network locations, etc) from having their properties read.
Adding them to Indexes -> Properties and excluding them there causes ALL the other locations to be indexed.
Is it possible to exclude locations from real-time property reading?
How do I blacklist a folder from having its properties read, WITHOUT having to index the rest?

Tools -> Options -> Advanced -> property_cache_exclude_folders
Set to a semicolon (;) delimited list of folders to exclude when gathering properties.
-or-
Tools -> Options -> Advanced -> property_cache_include_only_folders
Set to a semicolon (;) delimited list of folders to include only when gathering properties.
Leave empty to include all folders.
-or-
Exclude folders from your search, for example:
!"d:\folder\I\don't\want\" !"e:\another\folder\I\don't\want\" !"f:\folder3\etc...\"
! = NOT
-or-
Specify the 'fast' folders in your search:
"c:\local\folder\" | "j:\another\local\path\" | "h:\etc...\"
| = OR
Set to a semicolon (;) delimited list of folders to exclude when gathering properties.

Big thanks, works exactly the way I needed it.
