Ignore pattern possible?

[DianeOfTheMoon]

I was wondering if there was any config for ignoring patterns in neo-tree? I'm working in Unity and generally don't want to see *.meta and *.prefab files, but it seemed like the config was full filename only.

No, but the nesting feature may work for you if they are just compiled artifacts of other files. See:

:h neo-tree-file-nesting

[DianeOfTheMoon]

Not entirely because Unity creates .meta files for things like directories, too, which the file nesting doesn't seem to handle. Can you do directory level nesting? The help didn't indicate that you could.

Can you do directory level nesting?

No, that can't really work from a UI perspective.

I will add the ability to hide with a pattern as well.

I just pushed an update to the main branch that adds this feature. Can you give it a try and let me know if it works for you?

    require("neo-tree").setup({
      filesystem = {
        filtered_items = {
          visible = false, -- when true, they will just be displayed differently than normal items
          hide_dotfiles = true,
          hide_gitignored = true,
          hide_by_name = {
            ".DS_Store",
            "thumbs.db",
            --"node_modules",
          },
          hide_by_pattern = {
            "*.meta",
            "*.prefab"
          },
        },
      }
    })
