Ignore list of directories when performing Alt-F7 searches
Posted: 2018-02-13, 16:36 UTC
My searches for files are often slow because because searched folders contains folders with large amounts of files that I generally do not want to search.
Examples of folders that I almost always want to ignore in searches (being a :NET developer):
.git - Git repository folder
node_modules - Downloaded node packages
packages - Downloaded .NET packages
I would like to see the addition of an exclude folders field to the Alt-F7 dialog, similar to "Find text" field (checkbox in front and with history).
Field should accept input like:
.git;node_modules;packages
