Behavior when hide_project_names and exclude are both true

[ArtofBugs]

In my .wakatime.cfg right now, I have both exclude = true to exclude all projects (along with a list of specific folders to include under the include key) and hide_project_names = true. I would expect that any folders not in the include list would be ignored, but right now anytime I open any folder in vscode and edit a file, a .wakatime-project file is created and times for the project appear on my dashboard. Is this intended behavior? I didn't see anything about this behavior in the docs.

@ArtofBugs exclude accepts a list of regular expressions and does not accept "true" as global variable to ignore everything.

Ohh ok, that would explain things. I saw that bools were accepted in the example config table (the one you linked) so I assumed true worked too. Thanks!

[ArtofBugs]

Confirmed it works correctly with regex instead of true; closing :) Thanks for the quick reply!

We should treat true as .* same as other bool/list configs?

Implemented by #1130 and will be released soon.
