Expected behaviour

when .fseventsd is in the ignore list, I shouldn't see notifications telling me that .fseventsd couldn't be synced

Actual behaviour

Desktop notifications being triggered that .fsevents couldn't be synced

Steps to reproduce

1. Have your nextcloud local sync folder on its won partition (so that .fseventsd exists on it)
2. Update to latest client version (3.2.1) on macOS Catalina
3. Have some files change so files get synced
4. Get message that fsevents was unsuccessfully synced

Could this be related to #2728?

might be

[dasaweb]

You could test this by temporarily using client version 3.0.3. If your problem disappears, it could be the same problem as described in #2728.

I have since changed my setup and can no longer easily test

[JMoVS]

to reproduce, one could try to put the nextcloud syncing folder directly in a disk so that the disk would have a .fsevents folder and hence would allow to test if exclusion now works

I guess the plan is rather to forbid usage of a disc root folder. That is already impossible with virtual files on Windows and seems like Mac OS would benefit from that also.

also an option ;-)
