http://www.intellij.net/tracker/idea/viewSCR?publicId=12841 Old request that the current Exclude paths does not meet completely. http://www.intellij.net/tracker/idea/viewSCR?publicId=4804 This is the need to have files in the project that I care about but that I do not need to add to VCS (therefore to LVCS as well). These files are usually generated (jspc files, reports,...). This request doesn't deal with the accessibility and visibility of such files: Can these files be seen in the project views, Ctrl-N or Ctrl-N+Alt-N... It only deals with what shows up in the Check In Project and if the status of these files are tracked.
