Media Gallery includes dotfiles in Preview

[madsem]

I just created a directory for the media library, because it's empty I added a .gitkeep in the directory.

Expected behavior would have been to not see this file in the Media Library UI, but it shows up as transparent image.

Can I work on this issue @erezrokah ?

Hi @erezrokah, I have some doubts about this issue:

1. We must allow the user to upload non-image files through the OS Open screen?
2. The user can push non-image files directly to the media folder in the repository. In this case, we must hide all non-images when listing in the media screen or only files started with a dot, as in the issue description?

Hi @DenysLins, I think we can add an option to configure exclude patterns. The default exclude patterns will be to hide files starting with a dot.
Users could configure it similar to https://www.netlifycms.org/docs/beta-features/#image-widget-file-size-limit
WDYT?

Sure... I will work on that...

Any update on this, or a way I could help with this? I'm having the same issue
