Description

@MickMorley

Include required information

Please be sure to include at least:

  • which version of Syncthing and what operating system you are using
    • 1.23.0
  • browser and version, if applicable
    • synctrazor/brave
  • what happened,
    • when accepting new folder share, after inserting Ignore Patterns the .stignore file is created automatically but in the GUI the Ignore Patterns show as empty, however, the file is not empty. Syncthing is also not adhering to what is in .stignore and syncing all files.
  • what you expected to happen instead, and
    • Sync while respecting the Ignore Patterns in .stignore. Maybe attempt to find the #include file first
  • any steps to reproduce the problem.
    • Yes, an example is below. Accept a new share from a remote pc. Must use the #include function and make sure the #include file does not exist on host computer.
  • how to fix it
    • manually copy the #include file to the host computer and Syncthing will now load and use the Ignore Patterns. All #include files must exist
//global ignore file that contains unimportant extensions and files to ignore
#include .stignoresync

//exclude larger directories
bigfolder
biggerfolder
