IntelliJ always wants to show excluded files

I have IntelliJ Ultimate 2018.1 (Build #IU-181.4203.550). I prefer to NOT show excluded files. So I un-check the "Show Excluded Files". This works.

However, no matter how many times I do this, it always reverts back to showing excluded files. Maybe not immediately, but after a few reboots or even after a few project loads, it's back to showing excluded files. It's done this for as long as I can remember.

Is there a settings file somewhere or something I can do so that I never see the excluded files no matter what? I'd like for that to be the default (and permanent) option.

Thanks.

You can permenantly ignore/hide files and folders using: Settings -> Editor -> File Types All the way at the bottom of this settings view you'll see a small text input with: "Ignore files and folders".

Now they should be ignored, excluded and hidden.

Never experienced any issues with this option.
