ignoreFiles set to ignore "_files$" in starter-academic repo?

[apreshill]

Hello!

Using the starter-academic project, "_files$" is ignored in the default config.toml file:

https://github.com/wowchemy/starter-academic/blob/78e7147b3d3c272b5b9b5a4489c3096492244115/config/_default/config.toml#L37

Wondering why this may be, and if a PR to remove that item from the ignored list would be welcome. I use this theme within a blogdown project, and this means that any figures produced by knitting any .Rmd or .Rmarkdown files will be ignored by the Hugo build. To make them appear in a deployed site, blogdown users will need to remove this item from ignoreFiles in their configuration file.

Thank you!
Alison

Thank you for the feedback, Alison 😃

I recall some R users (who knew much more than me about R) requested the original set of R-related files to ignore.

Based on your feedback, I've just made the change you requested to help solve this pain-point for R users: HugoBlox/theme-academic-cv@9ed74b5
