Vscode-project-manager: Hide Globs/Paths from Open-Dialog on per project basis

[wottpal]

Hey there,
I recently switched from Atom and in the project manager I've used there I was able to exclude custom globs (e.g. dataset/**/*.jpg) from being listed in the _Go To File_ dialog. Is this possible here, too?

Thanks in advance!

Hi @wottpal ,

Unfortunately no. This extension is intented (today) only for switching between projects, not to manage how they work (it's settings). In fact, I didn't know the Atom extension do that.

Are you talking about the settings setting (https://github.com/danielbrodin/atom-project-manager#project-settings) ?

Hope this helps

Thanks for answering so quickly!

This is so sad and kind of a vscode dealbreaker for me 😕

Yes exactly, you could use it like:

    settings:
      "fuzzy-finder.ignoredNames": [
        "assets/**/*"
        "node_modules/**/*"
      ]

Well, VS Code itself already have a _Project Settings_ concept, which is stored in .vscode\settings.json file, inside the project folder. Wouldn't that be a reasonable alternative for you? You can add this file to your VCS repo and anywhere you go, it will always use the same setting.

Unless you want to _override_ this, with your own settings?

🤯 I didn't know about .vscode\settings.json files yet as I'm still a VSCode newbie. They solve my exact problem, thank you very much!
