+
+I'll modify the `UpdateSequences.bat` script to ignore folders named `_archive`. Looking at the current script, I need to add a check to skip any daily folders that are named `_archive`.

+Perfect! I've updated the `UpdateSequences.bat` script to ignore folders named `_archive`. The changes I made:
+
+1. **Added a check** for `_archive` folders before processing any daily folder
+2. **Added a skip message** to show when an archive folder is being skipped
+3. **Added a `:continue` label** to jump to the next iteration when an archive folder is encountered
+
+Now when the script runs, it will:
+- Check if each daily folder is named `_archive`
+- If it is, display a skip message and continue to the next folder
+- If it's not `_archive`, process it normally as before
+
+This ensures that `_archive` folders are completely ignored during the sequence update process, which should prevent any unwanted processing of archived content.

+
+I see the issue! The problem is with the `goto :continue` statement. In batch files, when you use `goto` inside a loop, it can cause issues with the loop structure and cause the script to exit prematurely.
+
+Let me fix this by using a different approach - I'll use an `if` statement with `else` instead of `goto`:

+
+Perfect! I've fixed the issue by removing the problematic `goto :continue` statement and restructuring the logic. Now the script:
+
+1. **Uses a proper `if/else` structure** instead of `goto`
+2. **Only processes folders that are NOT `_archive`** using `if not "%%~nxD"=="_archive"`
+3. **Shows the skip message** in the `else` block when an archive folder is encountered
+4. **Maintains the proper loop structure** so the script won't close instantly
+
+The script should now run properly without closing immediately, and it will still ignore any folders named `_archive` as requested.
