Then I don't quite understand why there is a possibility to ignore single
selected files, which causes exactly what you describe, but doesn't seem
to bother anyone (since the adding of the parent folder is automatically
done). Even ignoring multiple files with the same parent folder is
correctly handled, just that I have to choose the option for each file
separately.

The mechanism I described would just batch-process multiple selected files
in the way the current "Add to ignore list" does now.

I'm afraid that this is not an option in VS.
