Research direction

Review the Syncthing docs repository and the linked github/gitignore collection for examples of common ignore patterns. Add a documented list of useful .stignore files or patterns, with the work complete when readers can find and use the examples; the possible GUI checkbox idea is outside this request.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

A list of common .stignore files would be very handy (and maybe added to the gui with checkboxes later).
A list of common .gitignore files for inspiration is located at:
