[FIXED] Spyder - how to exclude files from projects?

Issue

I am using Spyder 4.0 beta 4. I would like to know how to exclude files (__pycache__, source control files, etc.) from projects using any kind of text pattern. Under Tools > Preferences > Files, I tried unchecking the box for "Show all files", and it had no effect, even after restarting Spyder and creating a fresh project. Is there any way to exclude or ignore file name patterns in Spyder projects?

Solution

(Spyder maintainer here) I think there's no such option right now. Please open an issue in our issue tracker, so we don't forget to do it before the final release of Spyder 4.
