That's a great observation! No, the plugin doesn't use the 'Names to ignore' or 'Extensions to ignore' settings, and intentionally so.
Those configuration fields belong exclusively to calibre's global 'Check Library' tool, which scans the file system for completely unindexed, orphaned files that have no record in the database.
In contrast, Delte Extra Files operates directly on files and folders that are formally tracked by calibre's database via its API (list_extra_files / list_data_files). Because it focuses strictly on managing those registered book-level extra files and data directories, it doesn't need global ignore rules.
Keeping it completely separate from calibre's native maintenance settings ensures there's no interference with core functions, keeping the tool fast, focused, and safe to use!
