Add a checkbox to exclude Devel::PPPort matches #58

Open khwilliamson opened 3 years ago

khwilliamson commented 3 years ago

I usually use this tool when I want to know if something is used on CPAN. But if it is in Devel::PPPort it will show up in distros that use that but don't actually use the searched for item. In lieu of a more general capability, this would make this tool actually useful for my purposes.

probably better to make this more generic and add a field to exclude all files with that name (or pattern)

khwilliamson commented 3 years ago

I'd rather have something than make it harder so it doesn't get implemented. In fact there are multiple files in D:P that could match, so it's actually easier for the caller to just check the box. D:P is very special and worth making the special case for

Isn't it just ppport.h you're excluding?

Mostly, but there are searches that show up some other files in it.

Would the changes from #61 as shown by the screenshot cover your need? where the last input text field is used to ignore and filter files using path where * can be used
