1. I let SlickEdit upgrade from the latest release version (Mac Mavericks) to Beta5 and opened the same workspace/project. With Project Properties -> Add Tree... I added files and saved, but it was unable to write to the project file.
2. I created a new workspace and added files with the above Add Tree... . I was then able to save the project file.
3. In both of the above cases, the "Exclude filespecs" are being ignored, or at least partially ignored. My file list jumped from ~5000 files to ~8500 files. This is because certain folders which I have in the Exclude list are now part of the populated file list. I think it's selectively ignoring the Exclude list. That is, I don't see .svn/ contents or tmp/ contents as part of the resulting list (they are in my exclude list) but I do see contents of vendor/; vendors; Plugin/. My exclude list is:
cache/; .hg/; .settings/; .DS_Store; assets/; archive/; reports/; sftp/; run-tests-tmp/; doc/; .git/; .gitignore; phpdoc/; coverage/; vendor/; vendors/; .svn/; tmp/; Plugin/;
