yes, because that's a filter that runs after the listing was completed,
i.e., way too late to suppress the error. you also need to set
SubFolders like it is asking you to; Verbatim should work just fine.
this should work despite Flatten - the combination is semantically
simply meaningless at a higher level, so it won't do any harm.
So, my question is whether it's possible to ignore this xapian-indexes
subdirectory in the local Maildir with my existing setup, or whether I
need to change my Maildir layout altogether (for example, by patching
fts-xapian to store its indices elsewhere, by removing the use of
Flatten and using SubFolders, ...).
having to configure/maintain the exclusion patterns is a bit annoying,
so it would be preferable to configure xapian to "hide" its indexes
(i.e., prefix their names with a dot), but i think you can get away
without it.
