PhpStorm Ignore files/directories in TODO feature

phpstorm, todo

Solution

Yes, you can -- via custom scope that would include all but unwanted files/folders (Settings | Scopes) and then just choose it in TODO window.

P.S. This functionality is available since v6 only.

Problem

Is it possible to exclude certain files from the TODO function in PhpStorm? For example, I'm using the highcharts javascript library. I don't want to see the few dozen or so TODO's they have marked mixed in with my own. I don't want to exclude this directory, because I still want to be able to view the files in a convenient manner.
