In Ribbon Mode with a folder comparison already started, click on ribbon tab Home on Set Compare Options (second icon from left).
In Toolbar/Menu Mode with a folder comparison already started, click in menu Session on Session properties.
In edit field Ignore folders/file types specify the file extensions of those files to ignore on folder comparison like *.bak;*.tmp;~*.*
Click on bottom left corner on button OK and Run.
It is also possible to specify a default Ignore folders/file types used for each new folder comparison.
In Ribbon Mode click on ribbon tab Home on Settings (top item on right side).
In Toolbar/Menu Mode click in menu Option on Configuration.
At Ignore Options - Folder/Folder Sync there is also Ignore folders/file types.

Re: Ignore specific file extensions, filenames and folders in folder compare?
I am using OS X (Mac) and UltraCompareX version 17.
The separator character is a comma (not a semi colon as it might be in Windows)
Here is an example that works for me for various situations for "Ignore folders/file types: "
*.txt, .DS_Store, DMSmith, Matrix*, Bill Payments,
This will ignore any file with txt extension
it will ignore the system folders named .DS_Store
it will ignore a folder (or a file) named DMSmith
it will ignore a folder with a name beginning with Matrix
it will ignore a file with a name beginning with Matrix
It will ignore a folder with the name Bill Payments (note it has a space in the folder name)
