Request: filters for Add Files...

The ability to add an entire folder complete with sub-folders and files is great, But... How about the ability to define (in Tools|Optios...) file and folder filters for use during recursive add-files? For example, for C# development, I'd like to exclude all folders named 'obj' or 'bin', while for C++ development I'd exclude 'Debug' and 'Release'. I'd also like to exclude *.pdb, *.ncb, *.suo, ... when adding files to a repository. Actually, of the SCM products I've used (and I've used a few), the one that gets this operation the best is StarTeam - they show a preview of the project tree after the add and let you prune the tree before letting the add proceed.

This is another great idea. I've added this suggestion as well.

This is a much requested feature, and we do plan to include it in the next major release.
