project specific filter to ignore files

In the project settings, add a text box to enter a list of patterns, which should be excluded from the file listings (if you click on the eye for the hidden files, they show up along with the .*-files). It would be best to just copy the way how .gitignore works.

Example:

temp/
*.log
*~

Maybe this issue is a bad idea, at least it must be possible to easily tell the user that there are hidden files (e.g. a gray line "some files are hidden" at the bottom of the file listing ... and a click reveals them). Otherwise files might look as being "lost" although they are not.

Related to the underlying problem and probably in general a better idea is #44

Yet another variation could be a .sagecloudignore file, just for the current directory.

We could also show the "hidden" files always, but just at the bottom of the list with CSS that makes the less visible.

Using .sagecloudignore per directory is a good idea, since it could be part of the "+New" latex process. That could also create a directory instead of a .tex file.

yes, creating a directory for latex is a good idea ... unless one is already inside such a subdirectory and just wants to add an additional file -- i.e. only create a "latex subdirectory" if it is happening in $HOME.

Or:

• only create a latex subdirectory if there are no other tex files in the current directory?
