Nested directory globs with ignored_content

[austinbutler]

What I'd like to do is have this work: ignored_content = ["albums/**/*.{jpg,jpeg,png}"]. Basically ignore any images in content/albums and all sub-folders of that. This does not work.

ignored_content = ["*.{jpg,jpeg,png}"] works, but it ignores all images in content basically.

I think #481 says this should work, but it may just be referring to specifying a particular folder.

I'm using v0.15.2.

Right now the ignored content only work on a file basis, it strips the path before checking the glob: https://github.com/getzola/zola/blob/master/components/library/src/content/mod.rs#L56-L64

ignored_content was added for tmp files by editors really, it could be extended to support that usecase though.

I also need ignored_content to ignore entire folders; I'd be happy to implement it.

Additionally, how about ignoring stuff from .gitignore (if it exists) as well? Might be a nice addition.

Hmm not entirely sure how I feel about that. You'd need a config option to turn it off so I think I prefer to not do that.

Then adding in support for directory paths in ignored_content is a go? (we get globbing for free on Linux as well - though if you think that globbing support on Windows should also be a part of the PR, I did find a few crates for that purpose.)

[Keats]

Yep it's fine to add, but it should work on every platforms. We're using globwalk somewhere else so it's probably good to use that.

[kartva]

Well, turns out we didn't even need globwalk - the globset crate has support for Unix path globbing, which includes subdirectory globbing and matching on directories.

Haven't gotten around to testing it, but it looks like this was resolved by #1738 🙌 .
