Description

This is a feature request to be able to add a list of files to be ignored on build time. Let me quote the helpdesk ticket asking for this: There are certain files that exist in my project that I would like to always ignore when building the application. Occasionally I will use winmerge and it will generate a backup file or occasionally temp files remain in my resources folder. Because of this I have to go through and clean the folder of files I don't want included when the application is built. It would be nice if within the tiapp.xml file there could be a section like: 
<ignore-files>tmp, bak, zip, txt</ignore-files>

    Reassigning, due to Reggie's absence.

    The proposed method of listing files to ignore is not flexible and not XML-like. This would be better: 
       <ignore-files>
       <file>*.tmp</file>
       <file>dist/*</file>
       <match>\.zip$</match>
   </ignore-files>
    Each file should be a separate XML entity. Furthermore, I think there should be two ways of doing this: the standard wildcard syntax (file) and regular expressions (match).

    This is sorely needed. I just added a mercurial/hg sub repository to my project, which adds a .hg folder into resources, so now Android won't build: [ERROR] /Users/justin/Documents/WorkPlan/Resources/lib/common/.hg/store/data/_common_modules.js.i is an invalid filename. Android will not package assets whose filenames start with underscores. Fix and rebuild. [ERROR] :  Build process exited with code 1 [ERROR] :  Project failed to build after 467ms

    This would be extremely useful, especially for those that use 3rd party javascript components that are only used in the development environments..

    [~vvazquezmontero], cli.ignoreDirs and cli.ignoreFiles configuration option are available through appc ti config.
