There seems to be a syncthing feature “Default ignore patterns” which should address that issue about global ignore patterns. However it does not seem to work and I did not find any information about it.
Here it is: GUI - Settings - Edit Folder Defaults - Ignore Patterns
If you type in same patterns they go into:
~/.config/syncthing/config.xml
There is a section followed by the patterns.
There is also a cli command available to import such patterns via txt file. That command maintains the same config.xml section.
So it looks pretty well implemented but no one talks about it and it does not work for me.
Does anybody know something about it or know how to get it working?
[edit]
I just openend a new thread for that:
