Option to add exclude files in Find files

Post by Tamil »

Currently we have exclude folders only. It will be nice if we have exclude files also.

Are you thinking of wildcard patterns to exclude certain types or do you want to exclude specific files?

Wildcard pattern with folder name.

We might include excluded files into the excluded folders list (then renamed to "Excluded Items") Folders would have to have a trailing slash to be recognized as folders.

Okay.
Excluding files however will slow down search (even if no files are excluded -- hardly notable but a bit). I'll think about it...
