Ignore applications by regex about workspaces-by-open-apps HOT 5 CLOSED

I think the idea to ignore Apps matching a regex is a great idea, I will implement for sure this in the next update.

Thanks for the feedback and for the idea!

added this to extension.js which fixed it for me:

if (app.get_id().match(/window/i)) return false;

Could probably figure out a way to test for the regex pattern while iterating icons_ignored, but I'm not sure this isn't an issue specific to my system.

I got this working locally:

const windows = workspace
      .list_windows()
      // filter out ignored apps
      .filter(win => {
        if (!win) return false
        const app = Shell.WindowTracker.get_default().get_window_app(win)
        if (!app) return false
        // perform case insensitivity regex match on ignored strings
        const matches = this._settings.icons_ignored.filter(i => {
          const regex = new RegExp(i, 'i');
          return regex.test(app.get_id());
        });
        return !this._settings.icons_ignored.includes(app.get_id()) && matches.length < 1
      })

It's a bit aggressive and could easily wind up ignoring valid things... happy to toss up a PR but you can probably come up with something better.

That's pretty much what I will do, I will probably add a label in settings to inform that regex are supported, that's all.

I'd be happy if you want to open a PR.
