Faster way to set "svn:ignore" to "*"

[Álvaro González]

I often create directories to store runtime files (logs, uploads...). Ignoring them takes an absurd amount of clicks:

1. Right-click on folder
2. TortoiseSVN/ Properties
3. New
4. Other
5. Expand "Property name"
6. Select "svn:ignore"
7. Move focus to "Property value"
8. Type "*"
9. OK

I wanted to ensure that I'm not missing a more straightforward method. The "TortoiseSVN/ Add to ignore list" context menu would be an awesome alternative but it only allows to ignore by name ("1b1e38247ff34f36bfe61d6113f7acfdd887b732.gif") or extension (".gif").

If it doesn't exist, I guess this is a feature request then :)

Thank you!

Sorry, there's no faster way.

But why don't you even add the folder instead of just ignoring the folder itself?

Because the folder is part of the project structure. For instance, in the legacy CakePHP versions that my company uses there's a whole temporary tree [1]. If I ignore it all, I'd be forced to create an installation script to create what's otherwise a static directory tree and explain all my coworkers that they need to run it.
