treeignore

Features

Exclude patterns from the Explorer/filetree panel.

The effect is similar to having explorer.excludeGitIgnore enabled, but only affecting the Explorer/filetree panel.

Rules are applied to files.exclude in the workspaceFolder settings (.vscode/settings.json in whichever folder/folders the vscode instance is open in)

Disable a .treeignore file by adding #off as the first row.

Example

these treeignores
├── .treeignore
│        mås1.txt
│        /mås3.*
│        dir1/.treeignore
└── dir1
      └── .treeignore
               mås2.txt
