In another editor I have, I can tailor the file explorer bar to display only those files in which I am interested in editing. I.e., "filter out" .png, .gif, .jpg, .pdf, .doc, .odt, etc. from the listed files, as they take up valuable space. I don't find this in the Help files or the discussion threads here. Can it be done?
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
There are two explorer plug-ins - a Explorer, and a Light Explorer.
When using the 'regular' Explorer, at the bottom, there is a filter dropdown box named "Filter" to allow you enter file types you want to see. You can have more than one file type you want to "allow" to see. Just separate them by semi-colon (;). For example, you want to see text file and jpeg files, type "*.txt; *.jpg" in the filter box, you will see text files & jpeg files.
Cheers

This "Explorer" I do not see among the plugins, in the release I downloaded today. Nor do I see it among the plugins available for download at https://sourceforge.net/projects/npp-plugins/
The "Light Explorer" is the one that appears to have been "of preference" with the Windows executable install. May I somehow otherwise find this plugin of which you speak?

Sure, no problem. You can find it at http://notepad-plus.sourceforge.net/uk/download.php. It's about two "PageDown" near the bottom. It's called: Explorer plugin by Jens Lorenz. Download version 1.2 (assuming you are using latest NPP), extract it into your installed NPP folder's plugin folder.
For example "C:\Program Files\Notepad+\plugins"

Hello,
new version 1.5.1 is out which supports exclude of files. Use *[^...].
E.g. type to exclude cpp and txt files:
*[^*.cpp;*.txt]
Best Regards
