I put the following in the picture URL exclude box but the files are not being filtered.
^http://somesite.com/images/tn
which should exclude any files at that address that start with tn (i.e. thumbnails) but it's not working so my question is does picaloader suppor the ^ regex tag and if so then how can I get it to work and if not then how do I exclude any image whos filename begins with "tn"

PicaLoader support the ^ regex tag, but the links may not start with http://, please try this:
somesite\.com/images/tn
I think it is enough.

still not working. I tried
^somesite.com/images/tn
somesite.com/images/tn
^somesite\.com/images/tn
and
somesite\.com/images/tn
I would give you the url but it's a members only site so would not help.

Sorry for taking so long on the reply but I have had the flu and the last settings you posted did not work either... The only thing I can tell you that might mean something is the site I am trying to work on used the "Arles Image Web Page Creator" to make it's photo galleries and not sure if that is the reason why it's not working or not but I hope someone can find a fix for this soon.

anyone come up with anything yet ... this is starting to get very very annoying ... something a simple as filtering files based upon their filenames should not be this hard.
