Always Excluded Folders (From Indexing)

Define default Excluded Folders (not per-project). There is now a global list of excluded folders.

Configuration

Extra ide tweaks always excluded folders cfg
  1. Enable the Always Excluded Folders feature.

  2. Add some folders to exclude from indexing (relative paths).

  3. Inspired by GitHub issue #7, the Assistant dialog can help you to handle complex scenarios like large Git monorepos. This tool lets you register multiple folders to exclude from indexing. It will allow you to select a folder path and a regular expression, then it will find all the subdirectories matching the regular expression, allowing you to add them to the Always Excluded Folders list. The Assistant dialog is optional.

Usage

The configured paths are automatically added to the excluded folders list on project loading, and to all opened projects when modifying settings.

In this example, the node_modules folder is automatically excluded, even if this folder doesn't exist yet.
