I know in TextMate I can go to preferences -> advanced -> folder references and play with the regex pattern to remove certain types of files and folders by default.

I heard that if you have an existing project, however, and chance these, the project is not affected.

From a similar but different angle, I am interested to know if I can exclude certain types of files, say anything named "index.html" from an existing project while not changing the global scope.

Thanks!

Change the folder reference exclude patterns

Select the folder reference in the drawer/sidebar, click the "i" (information) button located at the bottom of the drawer/sidebar, and edit the pattern, like you would in TextMate's global preferences.

You can only edit a single folder reference at a time, so you'd need to copy/paste your exclusion rules to all top-level folders if you wanted this to apply project-wide.

This is how you'd exclude all index.html files, by setting a proper exclusion rule.

Alternatively:

Remove a file from a project

Right-click the file in the drawer/sidebar, select Remove Selected Files… then click Delete References.

Do this for all files you want to remove.

The Go to File… command (Cmd-T) might help you with finding all of these files by name.

  • @cwd Is there a reason, other than not being a paying customer, to run a TextMate version that is more than three months old?

  • I am using the most up to date version but your text was not consistent with the ux. I assume you have either mistyped it or are using an older version.
