Ignoring a subdirectory from a monitored folder - iarsystems/ewptool GitHub Wiki

By default, EWPtool will traverse all selected source folders and populate the project accordingly.

Starting from EWPtool 4.2.4, any monitored subdirectory containing an empty file named .ewptoolignore will be ignored (e.g., upon rescanning of the selected folder(s)).

Eliminating the .ewptoolignore file from a monitored subdirectory will make it become detectable by EWPtool.

[!NOTE] The file .ewptoolignore applies to its own subdirectory. If the subdirectory contains deeper levels, those will not be ignored. In the example below:

Folder_1/source.c
Folder_1/source.h
Folder_2/.ewptoolignore
Folder_2/source.c
Folder_2/source.h
Folder_2/SubFolder2/source.c
Folder_2/SubFolder2/source.h

SubFolder2 will not be ignored unless a file Folder_2/SubFolder2/.ewptoolignore exists.
