sorry if this is not the right place to ask this but I'm having some toubles with scancode while excluding some files. I've tried both --ignore-author and --ignore-copyright-holder like in this example:
https://scancode-toolkit.readthedocs.io/en/latest/cli-reference/output-filters-and-control.html?highlight=ignore
but none of the above worked for me.
How can I skip one folder in my repository, is there a way to do that with adding the parameter while executing the command, or should I use separated config file to specify particular directories I want to scan? I'll just add that it's not about skipping the unwanted files in post scan activities, I need to skip the unwanted folder from skanning as it will save 10h(!) of my time.
Thanks in advance, any help will be appreciated!
Thanks so much for the answer :) Unfortunately I still can't exclude the unwanted folder. I generated the glob pattern like in below photo using https://regex101.com/ but nothing changed, the scancode scanned all the content from the path.
Just to show better what I've tried, here is my structure:
C/
├─ workspace/
│ ├─ UNWANTED/
│ ├─ folder_1/
│ ├─ folder_2/
│ ├─ folder_n/
│ ├─ file_1
│ ├─ file_2
│ ├─ file_n
and the command:
C:\workspace>scancode --ignore "./UNWANTED/." -l --html C:/scan_log.html C:/workspace
I've also tried the --ignore "./UNWANTED/." as last parameter, also with r before glob pattern but nothing changed...
Maybe I miss some basic stuff?

Will that app (the new django app to detect text) will be a seperate project or an app inside scancode.io which specifically does one job i.e identifing licence with input
IMHO: inside scancode.io which specifically does one job i.e identifing licence with input
Is this a good ui? I also managed to change the table size to 25 according to issue 413
This looks good at first, but let's use an issue to collect feedback :)
