[Suggestion] Ignore Hidden Files about steam-rom-manager HOT 3 CLOSED

I keep my NSP tittle update and dlc in a subfolder in the rom folder. SRM picks those up as games. I sync everything to my deck with syncthing and I would love to just add a dot in the updates folder to exclude it from search. Please implement this feature even if its a toggle you have to activate manually in SRM settings.

I don't see a reason why you need to use a hidden directory to have files be ignored, you could just put them in a subdirectory and have SRM's glob not parse subdirectories, or myriad other solutions. The issue with not matching .dot globs/minimatchs is that any ROMs starting starting with a period won't get parsed. Obviously this is a rare situation, but it would be a surprising undocumented behavior. Also as you say, dot files are not necessarily hidden on windows.

adding a dot in front of the folder name is a MUCH easier and faster method to hardcode the behavior on the file level instead of the filter level. Also you can ignore only directories that have the dot instead of files or you can even add a toggle on the parser level to ignore dot directories. Is there a way to ignore the NSPs that are updates and not parse them as games?
