Can I hide a specific file type?

I would like to hide .xmp files when viewing images. How could I do this?

This was a forum topic in 2008/09, when it was not possible. Has anything changed so that I can hide .xmp files?

Yes. One option is a Quickfilter:

Set QUICKFILTER=~*.xmp

Many thanks. I am not techie so need hand-holding! Where do I enter this in the system? Thanks.

Do you want to hide these files all the time, or just sometimes/manually?

In all folders or just some?

Or press '>' and just paste it at the prompt that opens up

In Preferences/folders/global filters – enable wildcard filters
Then enter (*.xmp)
If you want other files globally hidden, within the parentheses separate each instance with |

Thank you all for your guidance. Much appreciated. I used greenboy's suggestion and it has worked perfectly.
