I'm stuck now, and have been bashing my keyboard for a while. I know this will be a simple error as well so I apologise in advance.

The folder I want to ignore is called 'Res' and it appears in the home directory (along with 'Drive', 'Mac OS', 'Music' etc. just so you know exactly where I am). In the same directory I created another folder called .config and within this directory I put in another, tracker. Then I edited a file to read NoWatchDirectory=$HOME/Res/; and called it tracker.cfg.

Even though media player has done a rescan the files in the 'Res' directory still appear. Where have I fouled up?

Thanks.
