Official FAQ

  • I have checked the official FAQ.

Ventoy Version

1.0.97

What happened?

Known trash directory locations should be filtered from the boot menu by default. It's confusing some folks.

$RECYCLE.BIN
.trash-*
.Trashes/*

These are the naming schemes a quick research produced for Windows, Linux (FreeDesktop) and macOS respectively.

Related to #524 and the respective FAQ entry "$xxx.iso was shown in boot menu"

Could be made an option like VTOY_FILE_FLT_TRASH, but I honestly don't see anyone wanting to turn it off.

Or configure Ventoy to work from a base folder (e.g. V_FILES) instead of the root of the USB drive?

@steve6375 That's already possible in the form of option VTOY_DEFAULT_SEARCH_ROOT and I recommend it. But changing it to a default "isos" or so would be a breaking change for all documentation out there. And it is a positive for ease of use to just copy ISOs to the formatted drive for simple use-cases.
