It would be great if we could temporarily hide folders/files/file types from both the tree and the treemap.

For example, right-click on a file type in the File Types pane, click 'hide', and all of those types of files are hidden from the tree map, the tree view, and not included in the totals.

This would enable us to quickly hide common file types e.g. dll, exe etc.

@Zunnfix Please be kind. This is an open source project and maintainers are not paid. They donate their free time to improve the project. If you find it incredible that the feature has not been implemented, then it might be good for you to ry to implement it and donate the resulting code to the project.

Are you kidding me? This was proposed over 3 years ago, and it STILL hasn't been implemented? Please add this function...

generally, an exclude-list would be nice in order to exclude large known directories completely from the scan --> also related to the "~snapshot" issue
