Exclude specific single file

[Simon Large]

I have a single directory of source files to check, but one of those I want to exclude. There doesn't appear to be any way to do this in the Windows GUI client.

If I use the Add button to add an exclusion, it only allows me to exclude directories, not files.

If I add the current directory I can manually edit the line to refer to a file, but the file still gets analysed. I tried excluding file.c and .\file.c, neither worked.

Thanks! This should be fixed. There is a "workaround":
Click on "Add.." and select a folder in the dialog box.
You now have a path in the listbox.
Double click on the path and write the file path manually.

Thanks. I found the workaround, as I said at the end of the post, but it doesn't stop the file from being analysed. So it's kinda 2 separate issues: adding the file in the GUI and then actually excluding the file from analysis.
