PhpStorm Ignore files/directories in TODO feature

Question

Is it possible to exclude certain files from the TODO function in PhpStorm? For example, I'm using the highcharts javascript library. I don't want to see the few dozen or so TODO's they have marked mixed in with my own. I don't want to exclude this directory, because I still want to be able to view the files in a convenient manner.

Yes, you can -- via custom scope that would include all but unwanted files/folders (Settings | Scopes) and then just choose it in TODO window.

P.S.
This functionality is available since v6 only.
