Ignoring files by regexp

Note

This setting is dedicated to "ignore mode," meaning it works ONLY FOR OLR/OLUR systems.

More about it:
"Ignore mode"

This feature is very different from "ignoring extensions." It not only works on extensions but on entire arrays of files. It expects specific and hardcoded input to function properly. If you are unfamiliar with regexp (regular expressions), it is recommended not to touch this feature.

It uses the default RegExpConstructor (RegExp) built into JavaScript. It does not send any custom flags during the testing procedure of a filename with a given regular expression. Additionally, before applying the "mask," it attempts to parse it from a string into the regexp (see _mask assignment).

Here is an example of the program implementation (may differ in source):

 if (this.settings.is_ignore) {  
    for (const mask of this.settings.ignore_masks.split(';')) {  
        const _mask = mask.replace(/[.*+?^${}()|[\]\\]/g, '\\$&');  
  
        try {  
            const regex = new RegExp(_mask);  
            if (regex.test(file.name)) {  
                return;  
            }  
        } catch (error) {  
            if (!this.settings.silence_errors) {  
                console.error(error);  
            } else {  
                console.debug(`[UNITADE-ERROR]: ERROR IS SILENCED, ERROR: ${error}`);  
            }  
        }  
    }  
}  

Important

Because ignore mode works "raw-to-raw," it can cause unexpected behavior for the user due to spaces, trims, symbols like \n, \t, etc. Be careful with your input in these settings.
