Sandbox Scope Language needs revision - it is over complicated and deficient!

Sandbox Scope Language needs revision - it is over complicated and deficient!

The syntax for scoped sandboxes is difficult and deficient. It is not possible to define a different scope for subprojects than the top-level project.

Say for example, I have a project (root) with two sub projects, A and B and some member files. Both A and B contain files with the extension .foo, but in my scope, I do not need the .foo files in subproject A, but I do in subproject B. And I want to keep the member files in scope that are at the root level.

 

The syntax needed quite often is long winded and is not editable in the GUI.

 

For many scenarios, as simple ANT like syntax would be needed, e.g.

exclude: root/A/**/*.foo

That would define exactly what I want in the scenario above!

(** means recursively look in all subprojects below that point)
