Exclude tab of List Files Action allows excluding the files that would have been listed otherwise. In other words, if a file matches all inclusion criteria, fits into size range and is not skipped as the one of the firsts entries or due to the list limitations, it can still be skipped due explicit settings of exclusion mask or file date (newer or older than specified).
