Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

I would like to keep notifications for certain shares muted. Why? Because some shares are known to be changed often.

Describe the solution you'd like

Ability to configure per-share notification settings. Maybe just 'ignore for change notifications' checkbox

Describe alternatives you've considered

Alternatively it may make sense to have "mute for ~2-3 hours" button on notification

Additional context

Some folders may have different frequency of sync like:

• password manager secret
• shared folder between multiple machines where all changes are made explicitly by user
• folders that are just synced one way as sort of backup (for example digikam database)

I guess that would make notifications much more useful, indeed. Let's see when I'll find the time to implement something like that. So far I refrained from folder-specific settings because the list of folders can change at any time as it is managed by Syncthing itself. So Syncthing Tray needed to track the list of folders per Syncthing instance in a local config file.

Alternatively, the Syncthing backend would be extended so frontends can store key/value pairs for additional settings on each folder via the API. Not sure whether Syncthing upstream would accept such a change.

Another, maybe much simpler alternative would be an exclude regex (that is matched against the relevant folder label or ID) for folder-specific notifications. It would used regardless of the Syncthing instance and a single text setting (that is not directly coupled to an existing folder on some Syncthing instance).
