Currently, the Ignored Files Pattern in Tools -> Options -> Miscellaneous -> Files hides all files starting with a dot (.). However, the .htaccess files are commonly used by PHP developers, and should be shown by default. Please change the pattern so it does not hide .htaccess files by default. Thanks - see also: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Htaccess
The pattern can be written as ^(CVS|SCCS|vssver.?\.scc|#.*#|%.*%|\.(cvsignore|svn|DS_Store)|_svn)$|~$|^\.(?!htaccess$) But I think this is too complicated for many users to write such pattern. Shouldn't be there a better UI, which will allow easily exclude/include exact files or folders?
Sure, better UI would be fine. This issue is about defaults though. Even with better UI we should have the right defaults working for majority of users.
Agreed the UI could be improved, for next release. In 6.5 we'll simply fix the default pattern.
Default pattern is now ^(CVS|SCCS|vssver.?\.scc|#.*#|%.*%|_svn)$|~$|^\.(?!htaccess$).*$ http://hg.netbeans.org/core-main/rev/b444fceacce7
Thanks!
thanks means verified?
