Setting default folder exlusions
Answered
I use pycharm and attach it to an sshfs mount. Sometimes this can take an hour to open the first time. Then I can set up my project structure exclusions and it starts up quickly. All of the folders I am trying to exclude are the same, and auto generated by the build/deployment systems that my company uses. I would like to set default exclusion rules to always exclude folders named "x/*" is this possible? If it is not possible, is there motivation to add it? It is not acceptable for my IDE to take an hour to start every time I create a new project.

Please note that for the best experience PyCharm should have fast access to the files (project configuration xml files, project working files and settings files ). Having them on network or mounted drives is not officially supported and may cause some unexpected behaviour. In such case, consider configuring remote host access (create and edit project on local drive and upload it to remote place on demand or automatically on save) http://www.jetbrains.com/pycharm/webhelp/working-with-web-servers-copying-files.html.
I think the problem is less rooted in the use of the sshfs mount and much more in that our build system creates hundreds of tiny files that PyCharm doesn't need to index, but it doesn't know it doesn't need to index. I voted on all of those issues. Thanks for the help.
