Re: Hiding directories from project file list

Hi Tom, I don't believe the feature you are looking for exists. Although: If you are using Git there is an option to hide files and directories that are match patterns in a .gitignore file. For similar effect, rather than creating the project by opening a folder with BBEdit, I have created a n

For non-contiguous text selection to work in the desired manner it would still be necessary for the machine to create some flavour of grep pattern based on your selection. So it follows, until such time that this genius creation exi
