Feature Request - Ignore certain files

[Tim-409]

Greetings!

I love SmartCVS. It's been a life saver to have a CVS client with a decent GUI on the Mac.

I have a feature request. I work with Dreamweaver a lot for designing and managing my
website content. Dreamweaver makes these synchronization files (dwsync.xml) and other
note files (like .DS_Store).  They have no purpose other than to assist the interworkings of
Dreamweaver while it manages my content locally.

I would love to be able to tell SmartCVS to ignore any (local) file with certain text in the
name or with a certain extension, and just not ever even show it. Let any file with "dwsync"
or "DS_Store" in its file name NOT appear in SmartCVS's file list at all, never ever. I
definitely do not want these local files ending on the production server and if they were
not in the list, I wouldn't ever accidentally upload them, which has happened before.

I request the ability to selectively turn files invisible to SmartCVS. This would be a great
feature for me.

Thanks!

The Professional version contains (among a lot more useful) a small feature to
ignore files easily. Just select the unversioned file(s) and press Cmd+I and
change the pattern to ignore according to your needs.

You can also do it by placing a .cvsignore file in your home directory
and specify one pattern per line, like:

.DS_Store
.#*
*.pdf

CVS (and therefore SmartCVS as well) would ignore these files when
looking at versioned directories.

P.S.:  I am not trying to anyone out of getting the Pro version, just
listing another solution.

Cheers,
Gabor
