[FeatureRequest] .meldignore

background

Meld is really awesome.

But the only ignore filter meld accepted, as I know, is thru dconf, which is not so convenient, and can't do that per project

Motivation

git accept $HOME/.gitignore + <proj>/.gitignore

prettier defaults to <proj>/.prettierignore, and can custom by

prettier --ignore-path <proj>/myconfigs/$PROFILE.prettierignore

fd-find, a damn fast gnu-find replacement, defaults to $HOME/.gitignore + <proj>/.gitignore + <proj>/.fdignore, and can custom by

fd --ignore-file=<proj>/myconfigs/$PROFILE.fdignore

the_silver_searcher, aka ag, a damn fast code searcher, defaults to $HOME/.gitignore + <proj>/.gitignore + <proj>/.hgignore, and can custom by

ag -p <proj>/myconfigs/$PROFILE.agignore

feature request

It would be nice, if meld can accept a per project filter file from command line.

meld --ignore-path path/to/name.meldignore <Dir1> <Dir2>

And defaults to <HOME>/.meldignore + <CWD>/.meldignore or something else.
