At build 3143 binary_file_patterns works. But as mentioned in @OdatNurd’s post above it doesn’t work if a folder is specified in the ‘Where’ field of find in files… I’d also like to +1 the suggestion to allow this setting in project settings as well as globally. It’s generally most valuable in that context.
Support for this (per project setting) was added in Dev build 3158, so if you’re a registered user you can try it right now; otherwise it should be available in the next stable build.
@OdatNurd what exactly was added ? I’m running Build 3164 and it still doesn’t work when I add
{
"binary_file_patterns": ["*-bundle.js"],
"file_exclude_patterns": ["*-bundle.js"],
"folder_exclude_patterns": ["webpack"]
}
To my project file and I try to run a search for some string in the folder “/Users/Me/dev/projectFoo/app” : it returns search results inside /Users/Me/dev/projectFoo/app/assets/webpack/webpack-bundle.js:
(it DOES work when I add them to my own user Preferences.sublime-settings though)
Those settings need to be applied to each folder in the project, like this:
{
"folders":
[
{
"path": ".",
"binary_file_patterns": ["*-bundle.js"],
"file_exclude_patterns": ["*-bundle.js"],
"folder_exclude_patterns": ["webpack"]
}
]
}
