Hidden folders in installer - WTF?
Some of the directory trees that go into my installer are kept in a Subversion source code repository. Each of these folders has a hidden subdirectory called ".svn" which contains various files used by Subversion. I do not want these subfolders going into my installer, and they are not listed in the projects list of installed folders/files (I explicitly deleted each one) but they keep end up getting included in the installer and installed on the target machine. I can prevent this with Speedfolders, because I can explicitly exclude .svn folders, but in the normal folders they always get picked up. (IOW, the normal folders behave like a speed folder without the ability to filter it.)
I've tried un-hiding a few of the folders, but they still get into the installer.
Does anyone have a workaround for this bug?

It is true that you can exclude .svn folders with speedfolders but when you add a folder it normally adds everything beneath it (including .svn folders in those subfolders). Would it be possible to post your project?
