My SD card has about 3500 MP3 files. If I connect the phone (XPERIA X) via USB/MTP to copy for example only two recorded videos to my desktop computer, the application (desktop-side) is creating the file-list for a long time and hangs afterwards (different MTP-clients where tested).
Is there a way to blacklist the /media/sdcard/${UUID}/Music/ folder (or whitelist ...)?

The OS seems to exclude some files from MTP. Therefore I tried this (patch file!):
--- /usr/share/mtp/blacklist-sd.conf 1970-07-24 09:05:45.969999999 +0100

but it does not get recognised. Maybe someone has more insights (package mtp-vendor-configuration-sailfish) ... thx!

You could make a
.nomediafile and place in the Music folder. Works for me on Jolla1.Navigate to Music folder on SD card and do the following;
After that, run tracker with
Your music files shouldn't be found now.
