Folders are added automatically to Catalog.
My settings:
drive C: is set to "Excluded"
5 folders on drive C:\ are set to "Included"
As soon as I interact (e.g. move a file) from Catalog to another folder on drive C:\ that folder gets added automatically to Catalog.
This behavior is not related to the newest version. It dates back to at least v1. (v0.93.1 works for me like expected)
Is it possible to prevent this behavior?

Re: Question about Catalog
This is how Excluded/Included looks like:
Excluded - C:\
Included - C:\folder1\_x1\
Included - C:\folder1\_x2\
Included - C:\folder1\_x3\
Included - C:\folder2\_y1\
Included - C:\folder2\_y2\
_x1,_x2 and _x3 are sub-folders of folder1
_y1 and _y2 are sub-folders of folder2
I assumed that all folders from C:\ are excluded except for those which are included.
At least it is how it works in my old v0.93.1.

Re: Question about Catalog
From Catalog to any other folder on C:/ (I mean to folders which are not included).
Moving a file was just an example. If I edit an image in a folder (which is not among those included), that folder gets added automatically to Catalog.
- Addendum
Tested now: Even if I move an image from one folder to another (none of them are included), the destination folder gets automatically added to Catalog.

Re: Question about Catalog
Thanks for taking the time to reproduce.
I am on Win7 but it should not make any difference.
