For Textmate 2:

Click on the top menu Textmate, then Preferences.

Navigate to the second tab, called Projects.

On the "Exclude files matching" just add 'log' to the end of the list, for example:

{*.{o,pyc},Icon\r,CVS,_darcs,_MTN,\{arch\},blib,*\~.nib,tmp,log}

This should do it, the log folder should no longer be searched, or used as match when opening a file.

For TextMate2 it should be: excludeDirectories = "{$excludeDirectories,log}"

Other answers did not work for me on TextMate 2.0-beta.12. After many frustrating attempts, this line was able to exclude the log, vendor, tmp and .git directories from fuzzy searching.

excludeInFileChooser = "{$excludeInFileChooser,log,vendor,tmp,.git}"

I added this line to a .tm_properties file in my project directory. I verified that this also works if you decide to put the .tm_properties in the home directory.

Edit:

Use excludeInFileChooser for modifying search paths in Textmate's "Go To File" navigation feature, which is activated by ⌘T.

Use excludeInFolderSearch for modifying paths when searching for text within the files of a directory, which is activated by either ⌘F or ⌘↑F

None of these worked for me. What worked was adding the following in a .tm_properties file (project root)

excludeDirectories = "{node_modules,}"

No $exclude variable. Add trailing comma.

I found a easier way to do it.

Go to Settings > Advanced > Folder References

And add |log| to the pattern.

Add the log folder to the excludeInFolderSearch option in your ~/.tm_properties file, e.g.:

excludeInFolderSearch = "{$excludeInFolderSearch,$extraExcludes,log}"

Just remove reference to log folder from project tree.

Also you may right click on *.log files and mark then as binary (they will not be searched).

Alternatively you could explicitly tell Mate to look at a specific subset of folders.

~/project/mate app db models

Project find will be restricted to those folders.

Or to just remove the log dir you could add an alias to ~/.profile:

alias m="ls | grep -v 'log' | xargs mate"
