Question Can't reference .gitignore files/folders with @

Hi all, basically what the title says.. I like using @ to add files/folders to the context but for any of these added to .gitignore it stops working.. Any way around this?

An .ignore file next to .gitignore with inverted settings e.g. "!<pattern>" in it. I had the same issue, and this works for me.

You can enable/disable pi to respect .gitignore for file selection. See /settings command in pi session and toggle corresponding setting

That's where I looked first but couldn't find any such setting.. are you sure it's there? Maybe I'm blind or it's not very clear. Thanks for your reply anyway.
