PyCharm hide files by pattern

Question

In PyCharm project view, how can I hide files by pattern? E.g. hide *.sqlite or all hidden (.*) files?

I've looked at many settings and tried searching, but no luck.

Answer 1

Settings/Preferences | Editor | File Types --> Ignore files and folders

This will permanently hide all of such files. Since this is an IDE-wide setting, it will affect ALL projects and such files will be excluded from the project.

Alternatively -- use Settings/Preferences | Appearance & Behavior | Scopes and define custom scope with desired files only (or exclude all unwanted). This is per-project setting and you can define as many scopes as you want.

Once done -- you can switch to that scope in Project View panel (choose desired scope instead of default "Project").

Answer 2

1. Go to the settings in pycharm

   

2. In 'Appearance & Behaviour' select scopes:

3. Add a scope:

4. Name that scope:

5. Now you can enter either a pattern or select folder to include or exclude:

6. Now switch to the which was just defined:

   

In 'Exclude_cached_scrapy_files' you will not see the excluded files. A scope can be a specific files or folders or files and folders following a patterns.
