Can meld ignore directories?

[Yaniv Ben-Yosef <yanivby gmail com>]

Hi,

I have a large directory in my project that contains automatically 
generated files. 
This directory isn't under source control, but it's still convenient for 
us to have it under the project directory. 
This makes scanning directory differences significantly slower.
Is there a way to instruct meld to ignore specific directories?
(ideally, it would respect .gitignore in case of git).

Thanks,
Yaniv
