Lets assume I have the following directory structure: /tmp/base1/ /tmp/base1/.secret/ /tmp/base1/.secret/config2 /tmp/base1/.secret/.secret/ /tmp/base1/.secret/.secret/config3 /tmp/base1/config1 I want to search for files named 'config*' using following options: start at = . ignore list = .secret find recursive = on file name = config* if I'm standing in /tmp/base1/ the result is ./config1, which is what I expect as anything in .secret (and _relative_ below) would be ignored. if I'm standing in /tmp/base1/.secret/ there is nothing found :( I would expect the result would be the ./config2 as the ignore list contains a relative ignore (.secret) and only config3 would still get ignored. Looks like the search gets ignored just because there exists a path component .secret above(!) where I'm standing at, which I find confusing (wrong?). Turning off ignore_list is not an option because then I would find ./config2 but also .secret/config3 and potentially any .secret/* */config* I cound not find an ignore_list/option combination where the ignore gets applied really _below_ where I'm standing at... Is this the expected behavior? thanks for checking out (and hopefully fixing)! " defect closed major 4.8.30 mc-core master fixed merged committed-master
