FTP (Deployment) Diff includes Excluded files by default
Hi there,
when I open the Deployment diff window to compare the content of a directory to the one that is deployed, it always starts with the toggle Hide excluded files turned off. Which is a problem, because if you are excluding a lot of files the Diff takes a long time comparing the excluded files and you cannot stop it. So currently I have to open the Diff, let it run through all the files (incl. excluded) and then check the “Hide excluded mark” to filter out the files I don't want to see.
I haven't found any setting to modify this nor it does work with the “keep last used value” principle.
Am I missing something?

Hi Lukáš,
The IDE should remember your choice in this case. I tested it on my installation (PhpStorm version 2024.3.2) and everything is working as expected. Even after restarting the IDE, the Hide excluded files option remains disabled if you've selected this. You can check the behavior in the screencast here.
It looks like I'm missing something. What PhpStorm version do you use?
I was on a 2024.1.7, but somehow it started working once I asked… as it does… right 😀.
Not sure what happened, I was definitelly not halucinating the issue. The number of times I had to wait for it to process, only to toggle it back to “Exclude hidden files” is still in my memory 😀.
Only thing I did between the last occurence and now was that I installed RustRover and let it import settings from PhpStorm.
Anyway… it is working now. Thank you for the quick response and have a nice day. 🙂
