ahamed101: Awesome ! Works just like it should 
Thanks !
( would adding more filetypes to be ignored as easy as adding other "! -wholename "*.xxx"" or is there a limit as to how many filetypes can be ignored ?)
@jim mcnamara: Also thanks, every solution you have, might turn out to be useful in the future
Say, do you by any chance know a solution to my other problem ?:
