How to exclude files from search path?

[fhg-isi]

I use

i18n.set('filename_format', 'translations.{format}')

to load translations.yml and that works fine.

However, I would like to exclude synonyms.yml from the load path because I use that file for a different purpose.

=> How to do so?

I tried to use negative look ahead regular expression

'^(?!synonyms)translations.{format}'

but that did not work.

Hello

I have tried settings you've mentioned and it indeed doesn't ignore synonyms.yml, which is strange.
I don't know exactly what causes this, but looks like my fork has this fixed, you can try it out:

EDIT: figured it out

python-i18n/i18n/resource_loader.py

Lines 101 to 103 in 4b7deea

	if not namespace and '{namespace}' not in config.get('filename_format'):
	for directory in config.get('load_path'):
	load_directory(directory, locale)

Looks like this causes keys without namespace to load translations from unrelated files.
