How to change monitored folders

Hi,

I tried to find the thread that contained this info b/c I know I have seen this somewhere, but after 15 minutes of searching was still unable to find it.

Could anyone tell me how to change which folders are being monitored by the Media Player and the Images app so that they don't show some songs/photos that I don't want to have in the library? Thanks.

1 - install (if possible) the ssh server, it be will be easier to edit the file
2 - open xterm on the n900 (or with ssh)
3 - type "cd /home/user/.config/tracker/"
4 - "cp tracker.cfg tracker.cfg.ORIG" (for make a backup file)
5 - "vi tracker.cfg" to edit the file. If you don"t know how to use vi, please read a quick tutorial on google
6 - go to the line NoWatchDirectory and add at the end of the line $HOME/MyDocs/Directory_I_dont_want_index
7 - save the file and exit
8 - "cd /home/user/.cache/tracker"
9 - "rm -f *.db"
10 - reboot the phone.

It will take some time to rebuild the index. I don't know how to purge the index without clear it :(

Post an other message for more help.

(if it's ok, send me my first thanks :) )

& have a look at this thread for more information while you are at it.
