An alternate name for the .plexignore file

if you use a MACOS or IOS file system management using a file that starts with a period is a real pain. Could we consider an additional / alternate file name that is more easily managed by Non-Windows based file managers? Maybe {plexignore} or _plexignore ?

In MacOS there is no issue if you do it from the command line:

cd /your/library/your/movie

touch .plexignore

And if you want to open the terminal from Finder, you right click on the folder and choose “Open Terminal at Folder”

Thanks - that helps.

Alternatively you can tell Finder to display hidden files. You can switch that option on/off using Command (⌘) + Shift (⇧) + ..
