Description bugs.kde.org 2007-10-25 08:02:50 UTC 
Version:           0.9.2-final (using KDE KDE 3.5.7)
Installed from:    Debian testing/unstable Packages

Ignore files below hidden directories (starting with a '.') when importing folders or checking for new files below previously imported folders etc.  E.g. I'd like to import photos in an svn working copy without also importing the  pristine copies below the .svn directories too.  

Presumably this is also a problem for icons created by other apps.  General purpose filtering pattern options would probably be best.

(but not the same ;-).
Comment 2 bugs.kde.org 2007-10-25 09:20:54 UTC 
Looks like you're supposed to set the album path to the single location of all your existing photos, as import actually copies files there, rather than adding a path to watch (as in picasa).  Looks like under the album path it ignores hidden directories, so for my purposes it's ok as is.
