Exclude directory relative to project root












0















I work in a project that has two copies of the framework it uses, one of them not being used (please don't ask):




  • C:ProjectsFooappVendorcakephpcakephp

  • C:ProjectsFoolibCake


What's the syntax to completely obliterate libCake in files.exclude or search pane?



None of these seem to work:



/lib/Cake
/lib/Cake/
/lib/Cake/**
lib/Cake
lib/Cake/
lib/Cake/**
**/lib/Cake
**/lib/Cake/
**/lib/Cake/**


… plus the same patters with Windows style path separators.



They either ignore both copies or ignore none.

  • FYI, I've given up. The project uses Subversion so I've checked out a sparse working copy and omitted the directory altogether.

  • That sample features many different syntaxes, some of which I've already tried without success. What would be the one for the specific case of a given path from project root?
