Excluded Project Directories Being Deployed
I must be misunderstanding how the "Directories" management feature works, but could someone please shed some light on this for me? I couldn't find enough information in the documentation.
Here's what my understanding of this system is:
- You go to Settings -> Project -> Directories
- You mark any directories that should have NO actions (deployment being one of them) apply to them. IE, "in project libraries" (like node modules, or sass caches).
- If you do things (like deploy the project to a web server), these directories marked as "Excluded" should NOT be affected (and should not be deployed).
But the problem is, they are still being deployed when I deploy (whether it be upload or sync) the entire project.
Now, I know that deployment configuration has options for excluded paths, but shouldn't the paths being marked as "Excluded" as a global project setting do the same?
What am I missing here?

Hi there,
AFAIK such behaviour (excluded folder still participates in deployment) was specifically asked by users (i.e. to upload some outside generated content (product images etc) that can cause IDE issues (slowdowns/duplicate content etc) when indexed but still needs to be uploaded trough one tool).
So yes -- in your case you need to exclude such folder twice.
Okay, thanks for the information.
So then, what is the benefit of excluding directories via Project Settings -> Directories?
To exclude such folders from indexing by IDE (e.g. files are too big; files are cached/optimized versions of the actual code/prevent full-text search or checking for errors/etc)
P.S.
As of v8 excluded folders are now participating in VCS operations (as per popular request) and can be shown in Project View tree (configurable).
