The activity window should show only real activity, e.g. new, updated and removed files. The user expects activities like in the activity tab of the NC web application.
If many files and directories are ignored (setup with "Edit ignored files" or with ignored directories in the tree view) the NC client activity tab shows so much messages about ignored files, that it is difficult and time consuming to find the real activity. The issue was introduced between Nextcloud 2.3.3 and 2.5.0

it would be very helpful to filter the activity window,
an ability to focus on one type of event when needed.
PR #1523 fixes it.
