tree-view... Ignore folders

[darianmorat]

I couldn't find an option to ignore folders such as .git & node_modules when using the :tree! I can use za to hide dotfiles but the node_modules folder is not one, but I also don't want to hide it, (If I can hide node_modules would be another option tho)

So I would like to use :tree and keep the node_modules and .git folders folded... instead of using zx to toggle them. Thanks, I really like vifm, and I really appreciate all the effort put into it

Which files/directories to ignore can be set via :filter command, but it's not specific to tree-view.

You're speaking of ignoring them but then of having some directories folded by default, so which is it?

Using :tree - Would be great to keep certain files folded... So if the dir has node_modules and .git folders is gonna show them folded. This is what I would like to get, if not possible then:

Using :filter + :tree - This is a workaround that I think we can get?... Using something like this:

command! FilterTree :execute 'filter /^node_modules\/$|^\.git\/$/' | tree
nnoremap t :FilterTree<cr>

But now I need to find a way to toggle it, so it sends :filter after the first one... That's pretty much what I'm looking for

Not possible at the moment.

The filter can be toggled with :filter!, but then tree-view and filtering might get out of sync. It might be better to have a second key to exit tree and reset filter with :filter (no parameters).

\| let $toggle = 0
command! FilterTree : 
\| if $toggle != 1
\|    execute 'filter /^node_modules\/$|^\.git\/$/' | tree
\|    let $toggle = 1
\| elseif $toggle == 1
\|    execute 'filter' | tree!
\|    let $toggle = 0
\| endif

\| let $toggle2 = 0
command! FilterTreeTwo :
\| if $toggle2 != 1
\|    execute 'filter /^node_modules\/$|^\.git\/$/' | tree depth=2
\|    let $toggle2 = 1
\| elseif $toggle2 == 1
\|    execute 'tree'
\|    let $toggle2 = 0
\| endif

nnoremap tt :FilterTree<cr>
nnoremap tT :FilterTreeTwo<cr>

Both seems to work, I did it this way since I got a few cmds for fzf with this logic... I haven't noticed any issues, what do u think?

execute 'filter /^node_modules\/$|^\.git\/$/' | tree

can be simplified:

filter {node_modules/,.git/} | tree

execute 'tree' can also be replaced with tree.

elseif $toggle2 == 1 (same for $toggle) can be replaced with else.

2 :let commands can be replaced with let $toggle2 = !$toggle2.

:if check can be simplified.

Else-branch of FilterTreeTwo differs from FilterTree, but maybe that's intentional.

So, something like this:

let $toggle = 0
command! FilterTree :
\| if $toggle
\|    filter {node_modules/,.git/} | tree
\| else
\|    filter | tree!
\| endif
\| let $toggle = !$toggle

let $toggle2 = 0
command! FilterTreeTwo :
\| if $toggle2
\|    filter {node_modules/,.git/} | tree depth=2
\| else
\|    tree
\| end
\| let $toggle2 = !$toggle2

Thank you so much... Now, looks way better: Just 1 thing, was needed to add the != 1, it doesn't toggle without it. The rest is perfect!

\| let $toggle = 0
command! FilterTree :
\| if $toggle != 1
\|    filter {node_modules/,.git/} | tree
\| else
\|    execute 'filter' | tree!
\| endif
\| let $toggle = !$toggle

\| let $toggle2 = 0
command! FilterTreeTwo :
\| if $toggle2 != 1
\|    filter {node_modules/,.git/} | tree depth=2
\| else
\|    filter {node_modules/,.git/} | tree
\| endif
\| let $toggle2 = !$toggle2

filter {node_modules/,.git/} | tree

With this we avoid getting a tree view without the filter... regardless of the times u press it, just toggle it.

Yes, it is. Once I have the tree view open, I just want to toggle it. And also get an option to get depth 2 directly, and toggle it once in it.

Just 1 thing, was needed to add the != 1, it doesn't toggle without it.

Right, it should have been if !$toggle and if !$toggle2.
