Ignore recycle bin

[sho-87]

I usually end up with a bunch of deleted git projects in my recycle bin (Windows), and auto project detection always seems to pick them up and adds them to the project list

I have tried adding something like this to my settings.json (one for each of my physical drives):

    "projectManager.any.ignoredFolders": [
        "f:\\$RECYCLE.BIN\\"
    ]

However, that doesnt seem to work and the extension still lists deleted projects

Is there a way to ignore recycling bin/trash folders? It seems like that would be a sensible default to have for this extension as youre probably not going to care about those folders showing up

Hi @sho-87 ,

If I understand correctly, you have defined your physical (F:) drives directly in projectManager.git.baseFolders, right?

The ignoredFolders is a black list of folder's name, to be skipped when the autodetection is deciding if a folder must be used or not. It will start with the base folders, navigating inside each subfolder. If a subfolder is named with some of the ignoredFolders, then it will be ignored. So, you must use only $RECLICLE.BIN, not the entire path

Hope this helps

That makes sense. Seems to work now, thanks!
