Exclude hidden folders

Is it possible to skip hidden folders?

Hi all.
I'm running czkawka on my Synology box where I'm trying to dedup a large number of photos.
The challenge is that Synology automatically creates '@eadirs' in each subfolder, where metadata is stored. As part of the metadata, Synology creates and stores thumbnails in the @eadirs, which results in a lot of false hits in the deduplication analysis process.

The directories are always called @eadir and are hidden in the filesystem. Does anybody has a good solution to exclude these directories in the dedup process?

I have found the solution. Obvious once you know that the exclusion mechanism also works for folders.
Go to items configuration and add to the list of excluded items ",/@ea".
