Description

Excludes based on patterns/paths per directory are a nice thing to have, however sometimes it makes sense to have a global set of exclude patterns/paths (at least that's how I like to organize my backups).

Those global excludes should be maintained in a listview (maybe even two, one for directories, one for patterns) instead of a comma-separated textview to keep a "easy to maintain" state.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Identify where exclude patterns are currently stored in the codebase, then add a new data structure for global excludes and modify the UI to include a listview for managing them.
