Hi, my VS2017 test folders are in a plural form. So maybe it's a good idea to change it like this:

## MSTest test Results
d: \\[Tt]est[Rr]esult$
d: \\[Tt]est[Rr]esults$
f: [Bb]uild[Ll]og\\.

Very nice. Thank you.

great! thank you.

I recognize this is years old, but I suggest adding some stuff for SSDT as well:

f: \.jfm$
f: \.dbmdl$
d: \\Import Schema Logs$

Otherwise, this is great, thanks!
