edit the tracker.cfg file and add your excludes
e.g.
e.g.
Code:
# List of directory roots NOT to index and NOT to watch (separator=;) NoWatchDirectory=$HOME/MyDocs/core-dumps/;$HOME/MyDocs/cities/;$HOME/MyDocs/.sounds/Ringtones/;$HOME/MyDocs/tmp/;/home/user/MyDocs/cities/diskcache/e/1/;/home/user/MyDocs/cities/diskcache/5/8/;/media/mmc1/tmp/;/media/mmc1/cities/;/home/opt;/media/mmc1/games/;/media/mmc1/Temp/;/home/user/;$HOME/MyDocs/;/home/user/MyDocs/irreco/modern/buttons/blank/;/home/user/MyDocs/irreco/modern/buttons/down/;/home/user/MyDocs/irreco/modern/buttons/left/;/home/user/MyDocs/irreco/modern/buttons/menu/;/home/user/MyDocs/irreco/modern/buttons/next/;/home/user/MyDocs/irreco/modern/buttons/num_0/;/home/user/MyDocs/irreco/modern/buttons/num_1/;/home/user/MyDocs/irreco/modern/buttons/num_2/;/home/user/MyDocs/irreco/modern/buttons/num_3/;/home/user/MyDocs/irreco/modern/buttons/num_4/;/home/user/MyDocs/irreco/modern/buttons/num_5/;/home/user/MyDocs/irreco/modern/buttons/num_6/;/home/user/MyDocs/irreco/modern/buttons/num_7/;/home/user/MyDocs/irreco/modern/buttons/num_8/;/home/user/MyDocs/irreco/modern/buttons/num_9/;/home/user/MyDocs/irreco/modern/buttons/ok/;/home/user/MyDocs/irreco/modern/buttons/pause/;/home/user/MyDocs/irreco/modern/buttons/play/;/home/user/MyDocs/irreco/modern/buttons/playpause/;/home/user/MyDocs/irreco/modern/buttons/power/;/home/user/MyDocs/irreco/modern/buttons/prev/;/home/user/MyDocs/irreco/modern/buttons/right/;/home/user/MyDocs/irreco/modern/buttons/up/;

Thanks, where should the tracker.cfg file appear as I don't appear to have one?

is it possible to exclude images (ie album art) from the photos app using tracker.cfg and if so how?

should do what you want (haven't tested it though.)

album art usually has "AlbumArt" or something similar in it's name, so it should be possible to set a pattern that will match all those files, but leave all other image files as indexed.

I installed Sygic Maps recently and now there are 31 tracks by 'unknown' artist in my media player with the tag 'test'. These all stem from the Sygic installation. How can I tell Media Player to ignore the Sygic directories when it scans for media?
Also, this is a slightly different question, there is nothing in the repos for controlling media by the headset controls. Is there anything for Maemo yet that can reliably do this?
Cheers all.
