Notepad++ find in files filter EXCLUDE

Question

I\'m looking for a way to get n++\'s find in files dialog to exclude certain files...

the only reference I\'ve found so far is this http://sourceforge.net/project/showno

The solution from https://notepad-plus-plus.org/community/topic/10653/exclude-directories-from-the-search/5 is to temporarily set those folders you want to exclude to be 'hidden' folders (hiding just the top level sub-dir is sufficient), and this then stops Notepad++ descending into that sub-directory.

Worked for me just now!
