How to hide own specific file types like .pek and .pkf ?
Greetings!
I am looking for a way to hide certain file extensions just as hidden/system files are hidden.
For example, some of the programs I use create peak files, which, while useful, never get to be run directly and clutter the view.
Setting, say, .pek and .pkf files as hidden would make them visible only when I turn hidden/system files on.
How can this be done?
Thank you!

Put *.pek and *.pks on the ignore list = "Configuration" -> "Options..." -> "Ignore list"
Remember to select the box "Ignore (don't show) the following files and folders"

Re: How to hide own specific file types like .pek and .pkf ?
You can assign hidden- and system- attribute to ANY specific file you want.
This is a feature of the FileSystem of your OperationSystem.
For more see my first google result >>> lifewire.com
Also you may want to use the DOS ATTRIB command to change attr of specific files (or all from a folder): csulb.edu
You can also use TC menu "Files > Change Attributes...".
Follow petermad advice with "ignore list" to hide directly all specific extension (like *.txt), and that this way "portable", only inside of TC.

"Configuration -> Options -> Ignore list"
Add what ever you want to be ignored to the list.
E.g ".svn\"![]()
To toggle the ignorelist use a button like this:(<<< this Copy&Paste button-code)Code: Select all
TOTALCMD#BAR#DATA cm_SwitchIgnoreList WCMICONS.dll,81 0 2922

Don't forget "classic" way - press Ctrl+F12, type
and press "OK"
Code: Select all

Here I think you should mention that this is temporary only, and also tell how to see all files again.

Thank you petermad,
This is nice, but is there a way to temporarily "unignore", or to suspend the ignore list without going into Configuration?
Assigning the Ignore list on/off to a key combination or a button would work great.

cm_SwitchIgnoreList
A quick forum search for "ignore list" reveals "cm_SwitchIgnoreList" , e.g.:
