Sublime Text file_exclude_settings not excluding file from search results

I have the file

/Users/maxpleaner/Hover/website/ngapps/account/account.partials.js

that I want to exclude from my search results.

Present in the .gitignore is

ngapps/**/*.partials.js

which I would like to ignore via Sublime settings also. But at minimum, being able to exclude all .partials.js files would do the trick.

I tried putting "ngapps/**/*.partials.js" and */partials.js in my file_exclude_settings, but neither one of them actually works to exclude the file from the search results.

What am I doing wrong here? Thanks in advance for your help.

Solution

  • The problem was that I had it as file_exclude_settings but it's actually supposed to be file_exclude_patterns.

    facepalm!
