Reasons for making this change
Xojo is only compiled through the Xojo IDE. The Xojo IDE writes compiled output to a directory of the form
Builds - [Project Name]. The previous rule ofBuilds*can match source code files such asBuildsManager.xojo_code. It makes more sense to use a more specific pattern limited to directories.I also removed the blank line between the comment header and the patterns.
