Custom NERDTreeIgnore settings per project

Features

This plugin enables you to set a custom NERDTreeIgnore filter for each project. This is done by creating a .nerdtreeignore file containing the regex expressions commonly used by NERDTreeIgnore. When you move to a directory containing such a file, it will be loaded and used, until you change the root of NERDTree to a directory that does not contain the .nerdtreeignore file, in which case the default value is restored.

An example of use would be to hide binary files, temporary files or *.js files in your coffeescript project.

Note that NERDTree > 4.2.0 has added NERDTreeAddPathFilter function which enables you to do the filtering in your .vimrc, but I think this plugin is simpler and easier to use, since .nerdtreeignore can be added to source control and shared by everyone.

Installation

1. Install NERDTree (obviously)

2. Install the plugin:

   Pathogen:

    cd ~/.vim/bundle
    git clone https://github.com/dsimidzija/vim-nerdtree-ignore.git
   

   Vundle:

    Bundle 'dsimidzija/vim-nerdtree-ignore'
   

   Janus:

    cd ~/.janus
    git clone https://github.com/dsimidzija/vim-nerdtree-ignore.git
   

3. ???

4. Profit!

Oh yeah, and

5. create .nerdtreeignore wherever you need one. Example:

^debug$[[dir]]
^tmp$[[dir]]
\.sw[po]$
\.log$

For more info, take a look at :h NERDTreeIgnore.

Known Issues

When you go up from your current root directory, NERDTree does not trigger the NERDTreeNewRoot event, so you'll need to position your cursor on your new root and press C to trigger it. This seems to be by design.
