How to ignore .svn folder when searching in Total Commander
How can I ignore .svn folders when searching in Total Commander?
To exclude some files or folders from your search, use the following syntax in "Search field:":
-
Exclude from search *.bak and *.old files
my*.*|*.bak *.old
-
Don't search in .svn folders
*.cs|.svn\
-
Don't search in .git folder
*.cs|.git\
The meaning of |
is: 'and not'. Everything after it is excluded from the search. This syntax can also be used in other places, for example inside the ignore list.
- With Total Commander 8.01: Configuration menu / Options / (Operation) / Ignore List
- With older versions: Configuration menu / Options / (Display) / Ignore List
Then add
.svn
to the textbox.
In version 9.12 you should also use an asterix. So add the following to Configuration menu / Options / (Operation) / Ignore List:
*.svn
In my case I tried search text, but exclude searching in directories bin and obj. I didn't know that pattern before pipe is required too, but I found help here: https://gist.github.com/DStereo/af5f54c2d2d0d7073383f22753396185
So I had to put pattern in Search for field.
*|bin\ obj\
