It excludes DOT files, yes.

@tobiasKaminsky @mario can you take over this issue? My 2 cents would be to just exclude any "hidden" files as in ignore any .* files.

@AndyScherzinger but what if I want my dot configuration files included? :) Let me think about this!

We are currently going to exclude all DOT files just like @AndyScherzinger suggested. Thank you for this bug report.

Fine for me.
If too many users want to sync their hidden files, we will have to think about it again.

@mario why is this issue closed? At this moment we do not exclude all DOT files, so we need an issue and a code change for that, also since it got reported here: https://help.nextcloud.com/t/android-client-instant-uploading-exo-etc-files-when-i-told-it-not-to/8394

Or did anybody do/merge a change for 1.4.2?

@AndyScherzinger @tobiasKaminsky closed it I guess? :) But there's a code change in my PR for that :)

And that one excludes all "hidden files" ?

It excludes DOT files, yes.
