Revision history [back]

I'm annoyed because the tracker in the picture gallery shows me all covers of the music albums. They are available as folder.jpg or cover.jpg. I don't want to delete them, especially since I synchronize the entire music storage between my mobile phone, desktop PC and my NAS using resilio sync. If I put them out on the phone, they'd be gone on the other devices.

As nemo using a terminal do

 gsettings list-recursively | grep -i org.freedesktop.Tracker | sort | uniq

Find the line org.freedesktop.Tracker.Miner.Files ignored-directories-with-content. It will tell you, which files are ignored by tracker. Mine reads like this:

gsettings set org.freedesktop.Tracker.Miner.Files ignored-files "['~', '.o', '.la', '.lo', '.loT', '.in', '.csproj', '.m4', '.rej', '.gmo', '.orig', '.pc', '.omf' , '.aux', '.tmp', '.po', '.vmdk', '.vm', '.nvram', '.part', '.rcore', ' .lzo', 'autom4te', 'conftest', 'confstat', 'Makefile', 'SCCS', 'ltmain.sh', 'li btool', 'config.status', 'confdefs.h', 'configure', '##', '~$.doc?', '~$.dot?

Let us add Folder.* and cover.* to be ignored from now on. This is done by gsettings set as follows - I use placeholders for the filetypes, as Folder.* to match Folder.jpg, Folder.png - I guess I will never use media files like this that should be found by tracker. You may want to use Folder.jpg and cover.jpg to be more precise then I am. PS: as far as I know, you can't add a single value. You have to give the command the full value, i.e. the old part supplemented by the new one.
