Visual Filter to hide .git

[MBaas]

When viewing my project-repository (especially in branch-view) I'd like to hide the .git-Folder and its children.
So I've set a Visual Filter as

Code: Select all

!\.git

, but that's not cutting it - I get the same list as before. What's wrong?

Try Ghost Filter. (View > Show Items > Ghost Filter; View > Show Items > Edit Ghost Filter...)

Code: Select all

*\.git

[ed.]a slightly better choice is

Code: Select all

d: *\.git

this keeps any files named '.git' visible.

Ghost filters match against full path if the pattern contains slashes. Visual Filters match within item names only.

Thanks very much, I like the first solution even better
