- One wildcard pattern per line (
*and?), case-insensitive. - Lines starting with
#or;, or empty lines, are ignored. - Patterns match against the full executable path (e.g.,
C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe).
- One mapping per line:
KEY=VALUE(KEY may include spaces). - VALUE is everything after the first
=. - Lines starting with
#or;, or empty lines, are ignored. - Double-quoted VALUE is supported for paths with spaces; arguments are allowed, e.g.:
putty="C:\Program Files\PuTTY\putty.exe" --start prod
- PrefixMask-style file used to select which apps are reviewed by chat monitoring.
- One comma-separated
key=valuerule per line. - Supported include keys:
caption,filename,AppUserModelID,CmdParams. - Supported exclude keys:
excludeCaption,excludeFilename,excludeAppUserModelID,excludeCmdParams. - Exclude keys are checked against the same metadata and suppress review if they match.
- Lines starting with
#or;, or empty lines, are ignored. - Behavior:
- This file is the only source for selecting monitored apps.
- If file is missing or has no active rules, no apps are reviewed.
- If rules exist, an app is reviewed only when it matches at least one rule.
- Within one rule line, all populated include keys (
caption,filename,AppUserModelID,CmdParams) must match (conjunctive / logical AND).- Exclude rules can remove apps from selection even if another rule matches.
- Unread state is detected by caption pattern
(\d+)(number inside parentheses).
- Main form includes
Play chat notification soundscheckbox. - Checkbox value is persisted to
settings.iniunder[ChatMonitor] SoundEnabled. - Toggle applies immediately and controls unread + PWA-closed sound notifications.
