How to hide own specific file types like .pek and .pkf ?

[Achiles]

Greetings!

I am looking for a way to hide certain file extensions just as hidden/system files are hidden.

For example, some of the programs I use create peak files, which, while useful, never get to be run directly and clutter the view.
Setting, say, .pek and .pkf files as hidden would make them visible only when I turn hidden/system files on.

How can this be done?

Thank you!

Put *.pek and *.pks on the ignore list = "Configuration" -> "Options..." -> "Ignore list"

Remember to select the box "Ignore (don't show) the following files and folders"

You can assign hidden- and system- attribute to ANY specific file you want.
This is a feature of the FileSystem of your OperationSystem.
For more see my first google result >>> lifewire.com



Also you may want to use the DOS ATTRIB command to change attr of specific files (or all from a folder): csulb.edu



You can also use TC menu "Files > Change Attributes...".


Follow petermad advice with "ignore list" to hide directly all specific extension (like *.txt), and that this way "portable", only inside of TC.


EDIT with:

"Configuration -> Options -> Ignore list"

Add what ever you want to be ignored to the list.
E.g ".svn\"


To toggle the ignorelist use a button like this:

Code: Select all

TOTALCMD#BAR#DATA
cm_SwitchIgnoreList

WCMICONS.dll,81

(<<< this Copy&Paste button-code)

Don't forget "classic" way - press Ctrl+F12, type

Code: Select all

*.* | *.pek *.pkf

and press "OK"

Here I think you should mention that this is temporary only, and also tell how to see all files again.

Thank you petermad,

This is nice, but is there a way to temporarily "unignore", or to suspend the ignore list without going into Configuration?
Assigning the Ignore list on/off to a key combination or a button would work great.

Yes, how do I see them again?

Thanks for the ideas, All

CTRL+F10.

PS: reading the helpfile helps

cm_SwitchIgnoreList



A quick forum search for "ignore list" reveals "cm_SwitchIgnoreList" , e.g.:

"Configuration -> Options -> Ignore list"
Add what ever you want to be ignored to the list.
E.g ".svn\"

Use a button like this:

Code: Select all

TOTALCMD#BAR#DATA
cm_SwitchIgnoreList
