Aren't ALL the standard folders in MyDocs on emmc hidden by default (which has always struck me as totally weird)? If so, I don't think they'd get ignored, because the file manager does show them (Maemo stock fm shows them without a period, in Filebox it's there).
really, the dot is already there! It's shown in Filebox, or in a PC's file manager, when hooking N900 up to a PC in mass storage mode. Tracker does not ignore these folders inspite of the dot in front. Therefore I'm pretty sure it wouldn't do so if I added a second one.
Maemo filemanager does not show the folder names with a dot, but I also don't know of a way to rename them in the Maemo fm.

Where would I find trackercfg? Is it in extras-devel?

Is "making it ignore a directory" (by adding a . to the dir name in the front) the same as "stopping it from indexing one of your sources"? If yes, does that mean I get slowed down if I do it?
