Combining Filters

Post by conker »

Sorry, I am SURE this has been asked before, but I cannot seem to come up with the right search query to turn up the results I am looking for. Here is my question; what is the correct syntax for creating a filter that excludes multiple items. For example, in my tab, I want to hide:

*.dll AND *.obj AND the folder .svn

Thanks!

It's actually in the help file in the topic on the View menu. In a nutshell, by selecting View > Tab > Set Visual Filter (shortcut Ctrl+J), you can define both include and exclude filters. The help text in the dialog as well as the help file have further details; in your case the definition would be

Code: Select all

!*.dll;*.obj;.svn
The single exclamation mark at the beginning indicates that the multiple definitions that follow it, should all be excluded.
