Description lepeter2010 2025-12-19 15:22:08 UTC
It would be useful to be able to use wildcards in the "Ignored directories" part of the folder seelection.
The existing method supports only exact foldernames plus any folders that starts with a dot.

Possible use cases: 
- ignoring any folders with a specific preffix (prefix*)
- ignoring any folders with a specific suffix (*suffix)
- ignoring any folders with a specific substring (*substring*)
