Heyla,
      "fignore <S> <Z> (FIGNORE <S>)
              An array (colon separated list) containing the suf-
              fixes of files to be ignored during  filename  com-
              pletion.  However, if the completion generates only
              files which would match if this variable  would  be
              ignored, than these files are completed anyway."
1) fignore is for file completion, not directory completion.
% echo $fignore
.o .out .org ~
% ls -F /ftp/
zsh.org/
% /ftp/<TAB>     # ---> gives next line
% /ftp/zsh.org/
% cd /ftp/<TAB>  # ---> gives next line
% cd /ftp/zsh.org/
% mkdir /ftp/any-old-name
% cd /ftp/<CTRL-D>
any-old-name/
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
2) No completions with fignore used, but completions without it therefore
   complete without it.
% mkdir /tmp/foo
% cd /tmp/foo
% touch BLAH.org
% ls BLA<TAB>
Regards,
