Aptana: Exclude files when deploying a project to App Engine

Question

I'm using Aptana3 to deploy my python project to AppEngine. There are some huge design files that I want to keep inside the project but don't want to deploy to app-engine. Is there any configuration in Aptana that I can set and it automatically excludes my design files when deploying to App-engine?

You can cloak files by type and they won't sync: #7842737 – Hallucinogen

I don't have deploy option in right click menu, probably cuz it's an appengine project. Interestingly, when I want to go to publish on the menu, publish gets grayed out – Palestrina

Answer 1

You need to configure it in app.yaml. Look here for more details.

Answer 2

To skip files add (in app.yaml) regular expression paths to skip:

skip_files:
- ^(.*/)?.*~$
- ^(.*/)?.*\.temp$
- ^example\.file$

There are a bunch of things skipped by default (e.g. .pyc files).
