Ability to filter out certain filenames (e.g. *.pyc, *.tmp.)

[razzmatazz]

It would be nice to be able to filter-out files by filename.

Something like defined here: https://github.com/jaypei/emacs-neotree/blob/dev/neotree.el#L45 but not a constant. (I don't know that much of emacs/elisp -- that might be overridable somehow in .emacs, right?)

Yes, the hidden filter need a better implemention, configurable and support multiple rules.

It will be an option, you can customize it like "M-x customize".

This probably shouldn't be limited to files, there are quite a few folders that I'm never interested in seeing, like those containing all the build artifacts.

Yes, @expez .

Fantastic! 👍

Hi, thanks for your work on this project!

I wonder if there's any way to blacklist certain files (e.g. .DS_Store) from ever being displayed even when neotree is in the mode where it's showing other hidden files (e.g. .gitignore). Neotree's current behavior is to either hide files (using neo-hidden-regexp-list) or show all files without exception.

Agreeing with @mmcnl, hiding files from .[X]ignore would be a way better default IMHO. The default of hiding dotfiles is very annoying (if you toggle H you get *~ too, and all sorts of files).
