Exclude files from the script explorer

[binarious]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Adding files and folders for development (node_modules, tests, etc.) leads to them showing up in the script explorer as "only local".

Describe the solution you'd like
I'd like to define these files in a .iobrokerignore or similar to ignore them from the explorer view.

This could be a useful feature. Would you rather like a separte file like proposed (eg. .iobrokerignore) or would it be better to have it in the existing config file, in order to not polute the workspace root folder? If I do this I'd like to use the same patterns as supported in .gitignore.

Workaround for this problem

Have you tried to sync your scripts in a subdirectory like in the example config:

{
  "ioBrokerUrl": "http://iobroker",
  "socketIoPort": 8081,
  "scriptRoot": "/scripts",
  "adminVersion": "admin5"
}

This way the script explorer shows only the content of the script folder. You could have the node_moules folder or tests in parallel.

I'd be happy with any of the two solutions. Both are fine, I guess.

Ah yes, that would work fine. I thought scriptRoot would be the remote folder. Thank you!

I thought about the proposal and I will reject it. The initial problem can be solved by already supported features and an additional .iobrokerignore-file would complicate the extension.
