### Bug description

Neither the .sync-exclude.lst and the local (client) ignore list (the global one you edit in settings) is respected when using virtual files.

Folders and files with name matching an ignored pattern are still uploaded to the server.
Using standard sync the ignore list is otherwise respected

### Steps to reproduce

1. Enable virtual files support
2. Add pattern to ignore list
3. Create a folder/file with a name matching an ignore pattern
4. The created file is uploaded to the server

### Expected behavior

4. The created file is NOT uploaded to the server
