Netbeans and/or Eclipse/Aptana: make them ingore specific folders

We have a project, relatively big, written in Python and Django. Inside of the project folder there's a media/ folder containing js/, css/, and, say, photos/. There are also all kinds of python sources and html templates sitting next to the media/.

The photos/ folder is quite big - about 1Gb of small abcdefghijk.jpeg images, orginized in ab/cd subfolders structure. I suppose, both Aptana and Netbeans are going insane when trying to scan it (at least I see them angry eating the CPU, which I never experienced before). At the same time, it's comvenient to have these images inside of the project folder, and even if I move them to the outer space, and put a symlink, I suppose IDEs would follow the symlink.

Any way there to exclude the media/photos/ from the indexing process? I saw Indexing > Exclude form index mentioned here, but I can't find it.

I would also like configuring the hidden / visible files in both editors - in Aptana I would like showing the .gitignore file, while in Netbeans I need hiding *.pyc files.

UPD, as usual, I find part of the answer 30 min开发者_运维技巧utes after I decide to ask on SO. So, in Eclipse you go to Project > Properties > Resource > Resource Filters > Add...
