PhpStorm Ignore files/directories in TODO feature

Is it possible to exclude certain files from the TODO function in PhpStorm? For example, I'm using the highcharts javascript library. I don't want to see the few dozen or so TODO's they have marked mixed in with my own. I don't want to exclude this directory, because I still want to be able to view the files in a convenient manner.

To exclude code (usually composer dependencies) from analysis.

  • Right click on desired folder
  • Click 'Mark Directory As'
  • Click 'Excluded'

For libraries, there is a one click solution as I have just found out.

You can use the "External Libraries" feature to include the specific library folder, after which PHPStorm / IDEA will mark the folder as a library home and exclude it from inspection.

Note that you can include folders inside your project directroy, even though it's called "External" Libraries.

  1. In File > Settings > Scope add a new scope and make sure the files you like are green.
  2. Open TODO Tab View > Tool Windows > TODO (Alt + 6)
  3. In the top of TODOs click on Scope Based
  4. Below select your new scope from step 1 below Custom Local Scopes

Yes, you can -- via custom scope that would include all but unwanted files/folders (Settings | Scopes) and then just choose it in TODO window.

P.S.
This functionality is available since v6 only.
