[Feature] Ignore hidden folders

[sevonj]

Description

I have my entire music library synced between devices using megasync. It has a file history feature, which stores old versions of files in a .debris/ directory. These old versions end up as duplicates in Symphony.

Solution

Ignore hidden directories (dir name starts with .) in library scan. This would be optional, but I think enabling it by default would be a good idea.

Alternatives

No response

Additional Context

Using blacklist is kind of a working substitute, but hidden dir filter can make it a lot more convenient if there are many of them.

I expect there to be more ways people can end up with hidden folders, too.

Does adding an empty .nomedia file into .debris/ work?

.nomedia files do not have any effect. You will have to manually blacklist them.

I understand. Too bad (from my perspective), though, the standard behaviour is to have the folder and its children excluded from the broadly speaking media app.

I mean, I respect your choice, as a developer you get to decide how your app behaves.
