hehe yes, i said maybe this'll work :)
for some programs, the filename to which pattern matching is applied contains the whole path, for some it doesn't.
apparently tracker belongs in the latter group.

Re: Telling Media Player to ignore certain directories
 
You can try this (this is assuming that /home/user/MyDocs/Music/ only contains sub-directories that actually hold your music and album art:

Code:
NoIndexFileTypes=/home/user/MyDocs/Music/*/*.jpg;
If /home/user/MyDocs/Music/ also contains album art then you need to add an extra path:

Code:
NoIndexFileTypes=/home/user/MyDocs/Music/*.jpg;
And you may need to add extra paths like so depending on how you have stored your music and how many levels deep:

Code:
NoIndexFileTypes=/home/user/MyDocs/Music/*/*.jpg;/home/user/MyDocs/Music/*/*/*.jpg;

When making changes to tracker cfg you have to remember that some changes happen only after when you rebuild database. So restarting tracker doesnīt remove pics/videos from database if you have chosen to ignore some directory.

You mean with
Code:
$ tracker-processes -r
?

Yep IIRC. I normally use tracker configuration GUI which has those commands in top menu.

Code:
user@Nokia-N900-42-11:~$ tracker-processes --help
Usage:
  tracker-processes [OPTION...]  - Manage Tracker processes and data

Help Options:
  -?, --help          Show help options

Application Options:
  -k, --kill          Use SIGKILL to stop all tracker processes found - guarantees death :)
  -t, --terminate      Use SIGTERM to stop all tracker processes found
  -r, --hard-reset    This will kill all Tracker processes and remove all databases
.edit
and btw. Tracker manages the index of email also dunno about sms&im messages, contacts etc. so please be aware that it will rebuild ALL indexes. Not only audio & video.

Right, thanks. Yeah I've been doing that.... (and waiting half an hour while it re-creates the indexes)

Yeah if you have lotīs of stuff. And just a thought. If you have just couple of files that you want to remove then better and faster way would be:
copy files to desktop pc
delete files from n900
change tracker configuration
copy them back to n900

Thanks, but made no difference. Nor did the other ideas :(

Been running some tests, have tried path with fileglob and just plain fileglob

Code:
NoIndexFileTypes = /media/mmc1/music/*/*/*.jpg;/media/mmc1/music/*/*/*/*.jpg;*.mp4
But they still get indexed.

And doing lots of googling, I think I can only come to this conclusion:
NoIndexFileTypes does not work

Re: Telling Media Player to ignore certain directories
 
I did the music correctly, but I want to do the same with pictures. When I go to the gallery, I don't want to see all the album art...
Any help?
