New find in files, exclude dirs?

[fougazi]

This is also an issue here

When working on big Django project, model migrations files generated by South are numerous and big, and completely pollute search results.

Since we're about it, why not also completing the picture and adding "include_patterns"?
See http://sublimetext.userecho.com/topic/5 ... ct-config/

Find in Files has always supported include pattens, and as of nightly 2191, dirs can be excluded

The addition of exclude dirs from find and replace is very welcome and appreciated.

The problem presented in this thread is a little bit different. As suggested by ludder a preference in projects to control "folder_exclude_patterns" would be useful.

Whenever I search inside a project I get results from ".git" folders and other folders that I wish to exclude always from search results.

Writing -.git will probably work but is not that practical.

folder_exclude_patterns already exists for projects: http://www.sublimetext.com/docs/2/projects.html

Yes, sorry.

I was referring to the possibility to actually show a folder in sidebar but exclude it from Find and Replace.

My opinion is that showing a folder in sidebar and exclude it from Find and Replace are two different unrelated things.

A slightly confusing thing is that the exclude filter for a directory has to be written like this:

-*/dirtoexclude/*

instead of a simpler

-*dirtoexclude*

Or maybe I'm just not used to how ST2 handles filters yet (and haven't found proper documentation on it).
