Description ChrisDi 2008-03-22 23:39:03 UTC
Version:           3.1.0 (using KDE 3.5.8)
Installed from:    Debian testing/unstable Packages
OS:                Linux

I today started testing kphotoalbum and it took about 12 hours to import my ~70.000 pictures (reading exif data took that long). After import I found out that over 130.000 pics where imported! kphotoalbum just added the .thumbs directorys, some other applications are generating to stort their generated preview pics.

I would like to see a configuration option in kphotoalbum to exclude several customable directories from importing.

This would require two steps:
1) adding the settings to the settings dialog
2) using the setting while scanning for images

1) needs to be added to Settings/SettingsData.cpp and Settings/*Page.cpp
(depending on which page it should be shown)
2) needs to adapt DB/NewImageFinder.cpp

litte comment to patch: user can define multiple names of directories to exclude from import by using separator ,

example = .thumbs,.Thumbnails,my_not_to_import_directory

hardcoded options like .,.. are unchanged

Thanks, I'll have a look at it once KPA 4.1 has been released. Cheers
Jesper.
