Does plexignore work for music libraries?

Server Version#: 1.31.3.6868

Hello,

In my main music folder, I have a folder I use for importing named:

__import

I want plex to stop auto-scanning this folder every time I’m in there adding/converting files. I would prefer to keep the folder where it is, and named with preceding characters for sorting/workflow reasons.

I have a properly created .plexignore file in my main music folder. It’s on the same level as the other artist folders and the import folder.

It has the following entries:

*__import/*
__import/*

The second line added after the first line didn’t seem to work.

I then added another .plexignore file inside the __import folder with the following entry:

*

Because at this point, I’m just throwing things at the wall to see if anything works.

Before I start creating a .plexignore file to ignore every possible audio filetype, or experimenting with different folder names, I’m hoping to get feedback on if it’ll even work for a music library or what I’m doing wrong here

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
