How to ignore a specific file

[William Lofgren]

I have combed through the documentation and these forums and cannot find the answer to my question. I have a .ccpcheck XML file that I use to set parameters when I start CPPCheck. The one thing I cannot figure out is the XML parameters to ignore one specific file. This check is doing a whole file system. I have excluded several directories and suppressed two messages that are not relevant to my work. But I cannot figure out how to ignore a certain file.
Please help me.

Here is the XML code we use.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<project version="1">
    <root name="D:/Projects/Libraries"/>
    <builddir>LibrariesCheck-cppcheck-build-dir</builddir>
    <platform>Unspecified</platform>
    <analyze-all-vs-configs>true</analyze-all-vs-configs>
    <exclude>
        <path name="Debug/"/>
        <path name="D:/Projects/Libraries/.svn/"/>
        <path name="IO_LegacyMicrosoft/"/>
        <path name="MatlabMathLibraryR12/"/>
        <path name="Release/"/>
    </exclude>
    <suppressions>
        <suppression>unusedFunction</suppression>
        <suppression>unusedPrivateFunction</suppression>
    </suppressions>
</project>

This ticket could be related: https://trac.cppcheck.net/ticket/8637
Can you verify if it works when using the full path or by prepending a * like described in the ticket?
Sorry, the ticket is about suppressions, not excludes. But maybe it is worth giving it a try to use full path names, relative path or so. What have you used?
A workaround might be to suppress whole files if exclude does not work at the moment.

Files that are analyzed because they are included can not be excluded (but suppression should work)

I just posted a related topic https://sourceforge.net/p/cppcheck/discussion/general/thread/94ffb177/

But in there I got the exclusion to work in some environments but not others - so I am rather confused as to what behavior is expected or if it's configurable or something else?
