Exclusion pattern doesn't work (the .kavitaignore replacement) #3402

What happened?

According to the wiki

**/folder/* will ignore the folder at any depth in a path

I have many series folders that contain an /Extra subfolder with HTML presentation full of gifs/jpegs and such. With .kavitaignore I used Extra/* and all seemed to work fine. Now I have tried the same pattern in the UI, but it doesn't work, so I tried the above example as **/Extra/*
and it doesn't work as well. I have manually removed the bogus "series", rescanned with that exclusion and they came back.
My hierarchy is
/comics/country/publisher/series/Extra
with all the .cbz files at the same level of /Extra in
/comics/country/publisher/series/

I'm using latest 0.8.4.0

What did you expect?

To not see bogus series thumbnails appear among legit series.
I.e I have a real series folder called "L'Eternauta" inside which there is a subfolder called /Extra, containing HTML presentation
In the UI I now see a legit "L'Eternauta" entry with the first issue cover thumbnail and a second "L'Eternauta" entry showing a random pic from the HTML content inside /Extra.
With .kavitaignore I could filter that out.
