Bug Description
Excluding file types incorrectly excludes all the files that contain a dot followed by specified extension anywhere in the file path or name. E.g. if I add "o" to excluded file types I expect only files matching "\.o$" regexp to be excluded. However files matching "\.o" regexp are excluded indeed like "file.obj" or "openoffice.
A temporary workaround is to avoid using Exclude -> File types, use Exclude -> Regex instead.
