Import Agent Filter To Block Files to Be Imported

asked on June 28, 2019

There is a folder that we are monitoring with Import Agent that has files with all different types of names and extensions created by a 3rd party application. There are however several files in the same folder that are used as templates by the same 3rd party application and thus Import Agent must not touch those files.  We've identified the file names and that we cannot move them somewhere else.  What we'd like to do is have Import Agent import everything but those 5+ files. 

We often use wildcards in filters to define what it should import but no place where I can define what it should ignore.  Is there a way to build a filter to tell Import Agent to not import a specifically named file from a folder where thousands of other files with any sort of name & extension are generated daily?  As of now we are manually limiting the service account that Import Agent runs under so it cannot see those files but would prefer to handle it via logic in Import Agent.
