Add files to work copy - ignoring file types for versioning does not function

Add files to work copy - ignoring file types for versioning does not function

Hello,

I created a local repository for test issues.
I checked out a work copy on a folder.
Then I wanted to add files to this folder.
So I copied them there (files and folders with further folders and files).
Now I want to add these files for versioning, excluding files like *.obj, *.exe etc.
So I went to the properties of the toppest folder in the work copy and added a "svn:ignore" item, with the following content:

*.obj
*.exe

Then I selected "TortoiseSVN" -> "add" on the work copy folder.
But in the window which appeared ALL files were shown...
Why?? What did I do wrong?

I noticed that they are only not shown if I select "ignore" -> "*.exe" on each file seperately.
When I want to do this with files which are in a folder I added (e.g. "file.exe" in "WORKCOPY/FOLDER/file.exe"),
the "ignore"-option isnt even shown.

Another thing: Is it wrong to add files to a work copy by drag&drop?
I read in the documentary to right-drag files, but when I tried to, the following error message occured:
"Couldnt copy files. Access denied"

I hope you can help me,
thanks beforehand.
