Allow to ignore "trashed" files in auto upload
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
The Google photo app (on my Pixel android phone) deletes photos by renaming them with the prefix ".trashed-". This allows to recover deleted photos from the trash for a couple of days, before they are really deleted.
The nextcloud app auto upload uploads all these .trashed files happily to the nextcloud server, but of course there, they just pile up and take up space, but they are never needed and never automatically cleaned up like they are on device.
Describe the solution you'd like
The auto upload configuration should allow to define a file pattern that should be ignored.
This would already solve the problem that files that are marked as deleted are uploaded.
To support my use case of taking pictures, reviewing them and deleting the non-keepers ideally, it would be nice to add the option to delay the upload of new files for a while. This would solve the problem that a new photo is upload before I switch from camera to gallery to delete it. Adding the option to configure a minimum file age would be a solution for this.
Both options together would ideally support the common take pictures, review them, delete the non-keepers and only upload the keepers photography workflow.
Describe alternatives you've considered
Not really. Maybe an automated workflow on the server that deletes the .trashed files after upload?
Additional context
Add any other context or screenshots about the feature request here.
Maybe duplicate of https://github.com/nextcloud/android/issues/10645 although this one description seems clearer to me.
While writing the description, I added a second aspect, that could be a separate ticket - the minimum age for upload. Should I move this to a separate ticket?
