VT Pro needs exclude paths

I happen to have a folder where I store old software, just for the case that e.g. a new version can't properly open old files, etc. I also have backup folders, where I retain the last N versions of everything I back up.

Needless to say, that both locations WILL ALWAYS contain out of date software, and that is intentionally so.

VTPro searches the ENTIRE hard drive, not just /Applications, /Users/*/Applications, /Network/Applications and /Developer/Applications as it should.
Or alternatively, one should be able to give a list of paths to exclude from the search.

Neither is possible, and thus the list of software to be udpated is cluttered to the point of being unusable with software I know and want to be out of date, while not helping much finding the software that is out of date and I want to update.
