This might be unrelated to my initial problem, but most custom files appear on the list, but some don't. After some testing I found out that a file that starts with the same string as another file gets ignored. However, I didn't quite get the algorithm when a file is included in the local-additions list and when it's ignored. Some examples: alpha-beta.txt alpha-be.txt alpha-gamma alphabeta.txt alphabe.txt alphagamma.txt running :helptags on these and checking the :h local-additions list, only the following files show up alpha-beta.txt alpha-gamma alphabeta.txt alphagamma.txt alpha-be.txt and alphabe.txt get ignored.
