How to ignore files from VCS?

Hello Martin,

"Ignored Files" actually shows files which aren't added to the VCS. If your
.iml file is already added to the VCS, it will be shown according to its
file status even if you've added it to the Ignored Files list.

I know, it's Settings -> Version Control -> Ignored Files, but
whatever I do, my changed files aren't moved to the 'Ignored Files'
changelist. The only files in the 'Ignored Changelist' are those
already ignored from the default settings, i.e. the *.iws file. But I
also want to ignore all module fil

es, but entering a filemask of *.iml doesn't change anything. Not even
by adding an explicit file path this file is moved to the 'Ignore
Files' changelist. Anybody got this working?

you can add specific files or patterns to the ignored list by clicking Changes>Configure Ignored Files on the Changes tool panel, I think this is what you're looking for
