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.

Is it possible not to exclude some folders, but to specify which folders to track?
That would be easier.
(srsly, search is your friend...)

The MyDocs partition is considered a removable device and is controlled by another setting that tells the tracker to index it by default, so if you want it to only index explicitly given directories you need to add $HOME/MyDocs to No Watch Directories.
You can also try tracker-cfg (I wrote it) from extras-devel that gives you a GUI to modify these settings.

I think I have hit a problem in that case, I am on Ubuntu and cannot see the /home/user/ file and I cannot browse to it. In mass storage mode the only directory I can see and browse is the main folder containing music, DCIM and so on. Any ideas how I can get to the other directories within Ubuntu?
