-- Set file extensions to include (e.g., `.js`, `.py`, `.cpp`)
-- Define patterns to exclude (e.g., `node_modules`, `.git`, `build`)
-- Choose your token counting model based on your target AI system
+Extended file filtering options:
+
+- Exclude specific file types and patterns (using glob patterns) to remove build folders, venv, node_modules, .git from tree view and file selection
+- Automatically exclude files based on .gitignore files in your repository
+- Reduce selection to only the file extensions you specify
+- Display token count in real-time during selection (can be disabled for very large repositories)
+- Include file tree in output (recommended for better context in AI models)

 ## Troubleshooting
 
-- **No files are processed**: Check that the file extensions match your project files
-- **Too many files are processed**: Add more specific exclude patterns
-- **Important files are excluded**: Check for conflicting exclude patterns
-- **Token count is too high**: Add more exclude patterns to reduce the number of files
+If you encounter issues with your configuration:
+
+- **No files are processed**: Verify that your include extensions match your project's file types
+- **Too many files are processed**: Add more specific exclude patterns to filter unwanted files
+- **Important files are excluded**: Check for conflicting exclude patterns that might be too broad
+- **Token count is too high**: Add more exclude patterns to reduce the number of processed files
