    I'm trying to exclude downloaded assets from publishing to collaborate. One of them is Oculus Integration.

    So I put all my downloaded assets in Assets/Packages/ and then add in .collabignore
    /Assets/Packages/

    This works well, but these files are not able to be ignored:
    Assets\Packages\Oculus\Avatar\Samples\SocialStarter\Assets.meta
    Assets\Packages\Oculus\LipSync\Assets.meta

    I even put them explicitly in the .collabignore but they remain tracked.

    I think it's the collab exclude rule below might need to be revised:
    • The Assets folder (although you can exclude specific files or folders within the Assets folder.)

    Hey @jorgeolothar,
    I'm looking into collabignore issues for v2 this week. We've noticed a few reports from users with similar issues to you. What version of Collab are you using?

    I'm using 2019.1.14 and I got the same bug.
    Every Assets.meta can't be ignored, not matter what I put in .collabignore.

    Hi @KospY, sorry to hear that you're running into this same bug. In the Package Manager, can you tell us which version of Collab you're using as well?

    We've not encountered this issue with v1.2 before. I'll add a ticket for it and we'll try find time to look into it once we finished our work for 2020.1.
