I would like to ignore certain folders turning up via ido-dired
when changing buffers in Emacs. These folders are system folders on a Mac and should not be removed otherwise, so at least I would like to hide them (especially annoying is, for example, ~/Documents
which is suggested when one wants to change to ~/Downloads
and thus starts to type Do...
).
To this end, I found ido-ignore-directories
and I used the following line in .emacs
to omit these folders:
(setq ido-ignore-directories (quote ("~/Applications" "~/Documents" "~/Library" "~/Movies" "~/Music" "~/Pictures" "~/Public")))
The problem is, that they are still suggested when I use ido-dired
.
How can the folders be hidden on ido-dired
?
Update
When setting ido-ignore-directories
as suggested by npostavs, the folder still appear:
To this end, I found
ido-ignore-directories
and I used the following line in .emacs to omit these folders:(setq ido-ignore-directories (quote ("~/Applications" "~/Documents" "~/Library" "~/Movies" "~/Music" "~/Pictures" "~/Public")))
ido-ignore-directories
is the correct variable, but it matches just the directory name itself, not the full path.
(setq ido-ignore-directories
'("Applications/" "Documents/" "Library/" "Movies/" "Music/" "Pictures/" "Public/"))
