NetBeans PHP ignore folder
As I’m currently write a little more PHP code than usually I may need a “better” IDE for development. I’m not sure if you know NetBeans but it looks pretty promising.
One thing that bugged me from the beginning was that I have a folder “Data” where I write temporary files and NetBeans kept complaining about those files. I though it would be an easy rightlick->ignore folder. Well yeah it wasn’t. It took me about half an hour to find a way to ignore folders in NetBeans PHP.
Here is my solution:
Goto: Tools->Options->Miscellaneous->Files
Edit the Ignore Files Pattern:
^(##INSERT_FOLDER_HERE##|CVS|SCCS|vssver.?\.scc|#.*#|%.*%|_svn)$|~$|^\.(?!htaccess$).*$
(replace the ##INSERT_FOLDER_HERE## with your folder name [example.: "Data"])
it’s a regular expression so if you know how to handle it -> your lucky; if not try it and/or ask for help
Here is a picture how it could look:
IDEs are for sissies. If you want a good _editor_, checkout ViM
true, true…
really good tip, id like to be able to be more specific with the excludes or make them project based, but this got me in the right direction
I’ve just switched over from Eclipse 3.3 today once I got sick of it crashing. NetBeans 6.7 isn’t too hard to switch to I’ve been really pleased. Cheers for this tip, I wanted to remove a bunch of backup files from the project so they weren’t added to the code completion helper.
Great tip! thanks, i’m sure this can be applied to files as well.
