add option to ignore certain files when scanning

I use SVN to manage document and application changes on my computer. This causes many duplicates to appear between the working folder and the version controlled SVN folders. It would be good to be able to indicate that scan should ignore specified file types so these duplicate matches do not occur. This would be much easier than trying to create lists of directories in My Documents that exclude the SVN directories. Another possible approach would be to add the ability to select specific "ignored folders".

Thanks for your consideration

You can ignore file types (eg *.svn) using the exclude filter, but you can't ignore folder names using this filter (as in TextCrawler).
You can exclude named directories in the search paths box, but this may not be practical if you have a lots of svn folders.
Will look at this for next release.
