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.
Could you have a look?
I want to hide files with .xlsm all the time, in all folder.
I tried with *.xlsm or ( *.xlsm) but it didn't work.
Have you tried to add them on the first line after vista.db:
...vista.db|*.xlsm|*.idw)
I tried it too but didn't work.
In the end, I applied these filter conditions in Default folder format. It's weird that it works with this but not Global Filter.
On the Global Filters page, you’ve turned on “use regular expression”, but your patterns are normal wildcards not regex.
Turning off that checkbox should make the global filter you had work.

Sorry for late respond. Some how it didn't work at first when that checkbox is uncheck, then I turned it on and forgot to uncheck it.
But now it works again. Thanks a lot.
