Exclude hidden files by default #38

torf 5.1.0 python 3.12.2 Windows 10 Pro

Doing a simple torf -x -p DIRECTORY will include Thumbs.db in that directory, which is undesirable and unexpected. Many users have hidden files showing in Explorer, but very few have "protected operating system files" set to show. From a quick test, I observed that qBittorrent's torrent creator excludes hidden files, both "protected system files" like Thumbs.db and just plain hidden files.

This would have to be implemented in torf, probably here:

I don't have Windows so I can't do it.
