Greetings! Since I picked up ctags through the BBEdit's manual, I thought I'd pose this question to those in the group that use ctags. Is there a way to have ctags ignore certain files or subdirectories? I've been using the following as my bash alias, which I snagged off th

Out of curiosity, is anyone using BBEdit's support for ctags (http://ctags.sourceforge.net/)? If not, you should check out page 320 of the BBEdit User Manual. I've been using ctags in BBEdit for a couple years now and have grown to depend on it more and more. However, one thin
