    I just imported a package with some sample scenes into my project. I want it to be ignored by Plastic's source control. But I can't "Hide / Ignore / Cloak -> Add to ignored list" (it's greyed out). After googling, I found out that this is because the added files are marked as "Added" and not as "Private".
    But I can't seem to figure out how to manually mark them as "Private", to ignore them afterwards. And why is that extra step even necessary? I also tried just manually editing the ignore.conf, but that didn't help.

    Hi,

    if you undo the changes, the items should appear as Private (not Added as private) and you can add them to the ignore list.

    In general, if some item is explicitly added to the source control, it won't be handled by the ignore list.

    Regards,
    Carlos.

    Ok wow, that actually worked.
    I think it's kinda unintuitive that it only undoes the "checkin", not the action ("adding") itself... but I guess I just still need to get used to some of these things. Thank you!!
