Did you rebuild the tracker database? If not the unwanted entries will still be there.

Cannot get it working if I add other folder then MyDocs like:
/home/user/applications/ or other

Tried GUI and editing file, rebuilding DB's, still no luck.

Any suggestions?

X-Terminal try this

~ $ tracker-processes -r
~ $ /usr/lib/tracker/trackerd -r

should do what you want (haven't tested it though.)
The problem with this is that I haven't got a consitent format for my cover art.

As a selection, I've got files like:
cover.jpg
folder.jpg
<name of album>.jpg
AlbumArt_{12345679324789234293}.jpg
AlbumArtSmall.jpg
Cov.jpg
etc... etc...
And that doesn't include derivatives with different capitalization etc

If only there was an option to index given file types in given directories -OR- someone write a nice/better photo viewer app

did you try putting the path in the glob?

maybe something like
Code:
NoIndexFileTypes=/home/user/MyDocs/Music/*jpg;/home/user/MyDocs/Music/*png
will work.
that would nicely solve your problem.

I LOVE YOU!

I'd assumed that this was only for fike types (ie jpg, png, etc) - didn't realise you could but a full path in there Doh!

I'm sure this topic has been discussed more than several times here but I'd never seen this solution before...

Thanks again

Errrrrrrr..... hang on.

This doesn't appear to work. I've been fiddling with many different combinations including:

NoIndexFileTypes=/home/user/MyDocs/Music/*jpg;
NoIndexFileTypes=/home/user/MyDocs/Music/*.jpg;

But it's still showing jpg's from my Music directory in the photo viewer

Maybe my outpouring of love was a little premature?!
