Expected behaviour

The activity window should show only real activity, e.g. new, updated and removed files. The user expects activities like in the activity tab of the NC web application.

Actual behaviour

If many files and directories are ignored (setup with "Edit ignored files" or with ignored directories in the tree view) the NC client activity tab shows so much messages about ignored files, that it is difficult and time consuming to find the real activity. The issue was introduced between Nextcloud 2.3.3 and 2.5.0

Steps to reproduce

  1. Create a directory with files with ending .tmp
  2. Go to "Edit ignored files" and create an entry for *.tmp
  3. Create a sub-directory with some files
  4. Exclude this sub-directory in tree view
  5. Start synchronization
  6. Update some of the *.tmp files and files in the sub-directory
  7. Go to activity tab

Logs

  1. Client logfile: Output of nextcloud --logwindow or nextcloud --logfile log.txt
    (this is too much data, mostly private)
    The activity windows shows messages like
    my-directory/my-subdirectory
    
    (!) my-directory/file1.tmp
    now
    
    (!) my-directory/file2.tmp
    now

    (!) is the yellow icon with a "!"```

it would be very helpful to filter the activity window,
an ability to focus on one type of event when needed.
