everytime i add the wagic line its somehow removed and return to this !! what i do is copying it from the directory you posted to mydocs and edit it and then copy it back to the original directory # 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/;/media/mmc1/tmp/;/media/mmc1/cities/; # Set to false to completely disable any watching EnableWatching=true
