Hi, Does any Textmate user know how to tell the jump to file command to not look in some folders? Currently my doc/ and spec/ folders are polluting the search facility, and it has become very hard for me to get to the desired file. Thanks in advance. ---

And since it’s proprietary software you should at least be able to pose the question to the author. – Greg D. [http://destiney.com/](http://destiney.com/) ---

Not all Rails users are Textmate users. Most of the Rails developers I know in IRL use Linux so Textmate isn’t even an option for them. – Greg D. [http://destiney.com/](http://destiney.com/) ---

Look in Preferences \> Advanced \> Folder References. There is a sexy regular expression for “Folder Pattern”… which you can modify to include the directories you want to ignore. I don’t ignore ‘spec’, because I tend to jump to those files a lot. However, I do block ‘vendor’. This also impacts your Find|Grep|Ack in project settings, so keep that in mind. Good luck.
