Ignore list #156

Closed vpont closed 3 years ago

vpont commented 3 years ago

Would it be possible to add support for an ignore list, which would not sync the files and directories listed (similar to the .gitignore) or some other mechanism that allows this?

I.e: .odignore

.Trash-1000
.xdg-volume-info

Thank you and keep up the good work!

Going to close this one as a duplicate of #102. An ignore list from a .gitignore-like file was along the lines of what I was thinking of doing actually!

However, there is one caveat... you will never be able to ignore either the .xdg-volume-info or the .Trash-#### directory. .xdg-volume-info is used to label the drive and assign it an icon in various file browsers like Nautilus. Likewise, most desktop environments will start creating error popups every time you delete a file and you lose the ability to trash/restore files if the .Trash-#### folder is missing/ignored. (I only know this because I actually did add both of these files to an ignore list in very early versions of the filesystem and it broke the trash functionality.)

It would be nice to maybe map the .Trash-#### folder to the OneDrive Recycle Bin at some point, but Microsoft does not currently expose the Recycle Bin APIs: https://github.com/OneDrive/onedrive-api-docs/issues/1212#issue-550528827
