Exclude directory from file manager?

Hi,

We're working with Gulp to automate some tasks for frontend development. This requires some Node.js modules so there is a "node_modules" directory in the design folder (Templates/Designs/Websitename). This causes an error when I go to the file manager: "The specified path, file name, or both are too long. The fully qualified file name must be less than 260 characters, and the directory name must be less than 248 characters".

Is there a way to exclude directories from the file manager?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Pim

There is not...

But something else must be wrong - "node_modules" is not 248 chars long?

Node has a tendency to nest all its dependencis in a really deep hierarchy of folders, causing paths to be longer than Windows and .NET like....

Thanks for your reply! I've got my own account now, I posted it with Pim his account.

Then I need to move the node_modules directory outside the virtual directory "files" so the file manager doens't look at it, not the best solution because Gulp should run from your design folder, not project based. I've to run tools like Gulp and Bower from a project directory instead of a design/template directory. Maybe an idea for the next release? A possibility to exclude files from the file manager?
