Description

I am using oni with my python projects which generate pyc files which I do not be shown in the file explorer. Is there way to exclude certain file types from being shown?

I checked the documentation and configuration but couldn't find a setting for this.

Research direction
The issue requests a setting to exclude file types (e.g., .pyc) from the file explorer. To implement, examine Oni's configuration schema (likely in src/<...>/Configuration.ts) and the file explorer component (e.g., src/<...>/FileExplorer.tsx) to understand how files are filtered. Check for existing file exclusion settings or glob patterns. Add a new configuration option (e.g., `fileExplorer.excludePatterns`) and apply it to the file list rendering. The implementation is localized and well defined.
