Is there any function which supports adding files or folders in ignore list.

Like in a folder we want to leave particular folder by adding in ignore list.

Practically like .DS_Store should not be reported for modification or if we can add in ignore list.
DIR ( "/Users/yashpal/Documents/Projects/www/ivertis/" ) FILE ( ".DS_Store" ) has event Modified

No, there isn't.
Since this can be done in many ways, i think this should be managed by the user. For example, you can filter to ignore or to accept the files, you can filter with wildcards or with regexps, it can be case sensitive or not. There too many options to cover and it's easy to implement. I don't thinks it should be part of the library.

Its a very simple feature to build and very helpful and required in almost all projects.

Please don't reject. Open it for votes. Let's see how many needs this.

Ok, i'll reopen it.

Now what i want is a implementation example of what you'll love to see in the library, how to filter, what to, etc.

It should be simple

Part 1

Add Ignore list

1. File
2. Folder
3. Regex based File/folder

addIgnore(QString name, bool isDir)

Where name can be 1-3

bool isDir is optional either take input from user or do it internally.

Part 2

ignoreOsFiles()

Also I've noted in Ubuntu and Mac there are some internal dir and file that reported for change like .DS_STORE , ubuntu folder ( need to research more to get exact names)

Ok, maybe i'll add something like that in the near future. I'll think the simplest implementation possible, probably without regex, i don't want to use C++11 or add any dependency to the library, so, i'll think a simpler solution ( wildcards or just starts with, ends with, and some other filters ).

Part 2 is too specific, it's not necessary.

I'll put this on hold until i decide how to implement it.

Too much time passed and still i lack the interest to implement it.
