i've ran into a problem where i wanted to update my mod on the workshop but it unfortunately uploads folders i did not want to upload, such as .git and others

I'm unsure how this could be done, however

a .cosmoteerignore file similar to .workshop, saying which directories to ignore?
Unsure, now that i think of it

#

ignore hidden files sounds like a good solution, i guess
also helps not upload .workshop files

Omit all files and directories starting with . by default, and otherwise support .gitignore?

#

Or... maybe there are some files you don't want in your git but want in the workshop submission, in which case having a dedicated ignore file for Cosmoteer might be the better solution

don't see how the second would be that useful

Steam Workshop uploads work by simply giving it a folder and Steam handles the rest. It does ignore hidden files/folders (which is how the .workshop file doesn't get uploaded). In order to do any kind of fancier ignoring I'd have to manually copy everything but the ignored files/folders to a temporary folder and upload that. Certainly possible I suppose.

as fair as i know the .workshop file is still being uploaded sometimes, i dont understand how or if someone else edited it

unsure if the .git directory is included because it has non-hidden files inside of it or whatnot...

#

after looking at my tests it looks like it only removes hidden files and not hidden folders and i don't know what's up with that
