Description Casey Link 2009-11-01 14:05:56 UTC 
Version:           2.2-GIT (using KDE 4.3.2)
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

Many users use their external devices on multiple systems, with multiple operating systems, and many of this platforms pollute the directory tree with extraneous folders and metadata. These should be ignored

UmsHandler should have an ignore list of directories. Some examples follow:

/$RECYCLE.BIN
/System Volume Information
/RECYCLER

This list is not exhaustive.
