Description

Type: Bug

Mac OS creates annoying .DS_Store files in all directories you visit with Finder, and it is impossible to turn this behavior off.

There is already a setting in VS Code called "Files: Exclude" that contains the **/.DS_Store pattern.

But this setting is ignored by Solution Explorer.

Extension version: 0.5.150
VS Code version: Code 1.83.1 (Universal) (f1b07bd25dfad64b0167beb15359ae573aecd2cc, 2023-10-10T23:46:55.789Z)
OS version: Darwin arm64 23.1.0
