Describe the bug
I have activated some preset "Conversions" from within Plex.
These transcoded versions are always stored in a subfolder "Plex Versions" of the movie folder.
I'd like these versions to be ignored during the duplicate search.

I have set the skip list param as:
"SKIP_LIST": ["/Plex Versions/],

But unfortunately, the Plex versions are still considered as duplicates:

Totally get what you're saying. It's not like we're dealing with duplicate downloads, it's more of a pre-rendered proxy of the current version. Plus, Plex already has a built-in system to delete them easily, so we don't really need an extra tool to do the same thing.

I have a need to actually only keep the Plex Versions and get rid of all the other files
