Download Folder File Handling

I have two questions related to how Hazel's "Delete Files in Trash ...." option works.

1) Is there a way have a specific folder skipped and not deleted? Can I lock it or in any prevent it from being moved to the trash?
2) I would like that to also apply to any files in that folder, ie they would be skipped.

I realize I could turn that preference off and handle it myself with specific rule but I wanted to check and see if I can rely on the preference first.

Thanks in advance
Tim

"Delete files in trash" only refers to files already in the Trash. Anything that is locked can't be moved or deleted.

Whether files in a folder are affected depends on how you set things up. You'll need to provide a lot more specific details.
