syncthing ignore file(s) .stglobalignore and .stignore
// .stglobalignore
// These prevent SyncThing from trying to sync data that's locked, constantly changing, going to be thrown out, unimportant, etc.
// Lots of conflicts/issues disappeared using these ignores, but do check to prevent major disappointment!
// *.log and *cache* are in there, just so you know.. but firefox' startupCache and offlineCache will be synced.
// Decided to stop categorizing these. Sorting them Lexicographically from now on. Ignores are case sensitive.

// the line below is .stignore's content, i.e. put both this and .stglobalignore in the root of your sync folder(s) (where .stfolder resides)
// main reason for include is because syncthing then syncs this file too, and updates don't ruin my careful ignore project ;-)
// see also https://forum.syncthing.net/t/useful-stignore-patterns/1175
//#include .stglobalignore
