Hide/Ignore system generated files and/or files that match regex patterns
I would love to see a feature that allows me to ignore/hide specific files from my library. For example Synology NAS creates thumbnail files for every image in it's directories.
All thumbnails are named SYNOPHOTO_THUMB_[X].jpg where [X] is XL, L, M, S, XS for all the different image sizes it generates.
This case is very easy to be handled since all the files contain the same phrase "SYNOPHOTO_THUMB_".
As you can see there are 50000 files that I don't want to have in my library.
After some research, synology servers create folders named @eaDirs that contain those thumbnails and other generated files. Maybe it would be a good approach to ignore those folders all together since it's something that happens across the board for everyone with synology nas.
#2553 ignores the synology files, and makes it easy to add UI control for this in future by collecting all ignore checks into one list of regexes.
