How to ignore a folder in netX Studio and exclude it from being indexed/searched?

I have a project containing a folder with a large number of files which I don't need to see or open in netX Studio. The large number of files slows down netX Studio so if it is possible I would like instruct netX Studio to ignore it but still keep it in on the filesystem.

How to ignore a folder in netX Studio and exclude it from being indexed/searched?

To ignore a folder and hide it entirely in netX Studio:

1. Right-click on the project root in 'Project Explorer' and select 'Properties'
2. Select 'Resource > Resource Filters' from the left-hand side
3. Click the 'Add...' button to add a resource filter:
   1. Select 'Filter type > Exclude all'
   2. Select 'Applies to > Folders'
   3. Check 'All children (recursive)
   4. Under 'Filter Details' select 'Project Relative Path'
   5. Enter the relative path to the folder in the text field after 'matches'
4. Click 'OK' to add the resource filter and then 'OK' again to apply it

The filtered folder should disappear from Project Explorer and will not be indexed or searched.
