Ignore folder...

[MikeL]

I would find this handy too. What I do is make smaller ogg files alongside my flacs for use on a portable player. It is annoying to have both indexed. Obviously I could keep them outside the tree, but I find it handier not to maintain parallel trees.

The workaround I am using is to create a new user for minimserver

/etc/passwd:

Code:

minimserver:x:110:996:minimserver:/dev/null:/sbin/nologin

then launch it from a script

minimserver.sh:

Code:

sudo -u minimserver /path/to/latest/minimserver/bin/startd

If I now make my ogg directories

Code:

chmod 700 ogg/

I can read their contents, but minimserver cannot see them to index them.
