there's one exclude list and one include list.
the exclude list looks like this: path_a = ['/dev', '/proc', '/usr']

[QUOTE/]Trevarthan: Further to my above earlier query, concerning the apparently "obscure" file source from which was derived the initial listing that appeared in my new Kagu "playlist" category, after my installing and scanning the new version of Kagu, I have subsequently discovered that it's a copy of my "/home/user/MyDocs/.sounds" directory. Short of my deleting that directory, which I do not wish to do, how can I remove those items from my Kagu "playlist' listing?[/QUOTE]

Following Audioworld's excellent instructions regarding editing "globals.py," going into my N800 file system with ssh on my pc, I have deleted reference in "path_a" to my ".sounds" directory, and performed a full scan, which seemed to remove the unwanted playlists.

All these forum contributions to Kagu from forum members are wonderful.

.
Just like to say a very big "Thank you!" to Karl (AudioWorld), disq, and Trevarthan for the tips on how to limit Kagu's search path.

I used Leafpad to edit "globals.py" and now Kagu is listing only those files I want listed and playing them superbly!

The only remaining "hick" is that a very few artists photos are not showing, and some of those are really well known artists; just one example is "Blood Sweat & Tears". Are the artists photos kept as .jpg files and stored in a specific sub-directory somewhere? Is it possible for me to put the correct .jpg, presumably giving it the artist's name, and copy it to the appropriate sub-directory? For some others, they're rather odd photos so it would be nice to be able to replace them with clearer photos.

Thanks again, both for the programme and the help.

I copied files from my Mac onto my MMC and I've found that the Kagu scanner is including all the mac resource fork files starting with "." in the playlist. Is there a way to exclude them?

thanks,
Brenda

SkwrHdz,

you are very welcome, I am glad I can post something useful here after reading so many posts in this forum which helped me.

Regarding Artists+Album photos: at the moment those are always fetched from Lst.FM, so the exact syntax in your mp3 tags could differ from the syntax in their database, hence the wrong photos. in the current release it is not possible to simply store your own, correct picturs in some folder, as the picture-photo relation is stored in the KAGU database, and not by simply reading files in a folder. I think that overriding the Last.FM pictures already has a ticket in the KAGU requests list, so it should be possible later on.

bmoon:

it is not possible to exclude file types at the moment, only folder paths can be specified. as your MAC ressource files reside in the same folder as the music files, I see now way to exclude those.
Is there maybe a way on the MAC to delete the ressource files after you copied those to the card? probably not, as those files do not separately show up on the may, maybe there is some utility to do this, sorry, I do not have a MAC.

Thanks audioworld. I've deleted them using xterm on my 770, but thought that there might be a way in the application, and in the long run kagu does need to ignore them I think.

opened a ticket for it, will be fixed in next release: https://www.guardiani.us/projects/ka...et/126#preview

can you tell me where the navicore ogg files are located? we want to add the path to the exclusion list (ticket #127) but first have to find out where they are.

disq:

the location would depend on where the users has his/her Navicore package installed, it could be either internal or external MMC.

In my case I have it on the internal card (MMC2), the folder structure from the N800 ROOT is:
/media/mmc2/Navicore/Navicore/sounds

in this folder there are two subfolders (in my case), with the voices in German and English.

Just confirmed that this is exactly what happened: I have second tablet that I did not have Kagu installed. Before install I checked that Python was not there, and after Kagu install Python automagically is installed.... it is not shown in installed apps, though.
