How to remove items from Analyzer scope?

[techwriterkai]

We're getting a lot of milegae out of Analyzer, keeping our Flare projects clean, many of which have several thousand topics.

We're looking for a way to remove certain items from Analyzer's eyes. For example, we have a bunch of template files which show up in many Analyzer reports (and correctly so), but we'd rather never see them. These are helper files, so they will be incorrectly tagged, they won't be in any TOC, they'll be missing concepts, and so on - but that's fine. So we're looking for a list of files that Analyzer will always ignore.

This would be the inverse of the File Isssues Viewer which lets us select files to analyse. We're looking for a way to analyse everything EXCEPT for selected files.

Many thanks! Cheers, Kai.

Don't think there's a direct way to do what you're after, but you could kid Analyzer, by creating a dummy TOC and just chucking those topics into it. You're never going to use that TOC in a target so it doesn't matter what's in it. Yeah, I know it'd be good to be able to add a flag to files so Analyzer ignores them, but might work in the meantime.
