Please help, how to filter all folders and their subfolders in flat view? For example, I don't want to see in flat-list all content of ".svn" and ".idea" folders.
If this is possible, then second question: it is possible to configure this exception by default for every times when I use flat view without additional setting of visual filters?
And if this is impossible, then please accept this as suggestion for future development

You know by the same token I've long wished (though only to myself) for a list of Always Excluded Folders when searching. Especially, after I discover I've blown away my carefully constructed list when loading a template.

No, currently not.
TheQuerty's "Always Excluded Folders" would be an approach to this, but I'm not sure if I want to do this. Something tells me that this will have high support costs... (users will ask me why they don't find their files anymore because they forgot about their "Always Excluded Folders").

Ok, but without "Always Excluded Folders" we can use visual filter to hide out some folders like ".svn" and all their content?
I just can't figure or find this magical VF pattern, nothing works.

It's not possible currently. But I'll add a special switch
/b to the next version by which you can
"filter branches" (and let pass all files).
Examples:
1) Run a recursive search but exclude any branches starting with s*
2) Run a flat view but exclude any branches starting with s* OR with p*
The switch overwrites "Let folders pass all filters".

So with the latest beta v10.60.0001, to exclude all content of ".svn" and ".idea" folders in a flat view, use this pattern:
To exclude all content of folders beginning with "." use this pattern:
