I tried to set the path to the .kopiaignore file in Policies under Windows, but when taking snapshots, the file specified to be ignored is still saved. Since I need to take snapshots of multiple paths, is it possible to specify the path to only one .kopiaignore file and read the contents of this .kopiaignore file together
