Description philippe.quaglia 2011-07-12 12:57:53 UTC

Version:           2.0.0
OS:                Linux

Currently, it is not possible to exclude a folder/subfolder/image from the indexation. It should be usefull to be able to do it (for example, to avoid indexing/displaying a folder with pictures used to create panoramas. Only the panorama are relevant, the other pictures are useless).

Reproducible: Didn't try



Expected Results:  
I would expect an option "remove from database" for pictures, and "remove from album" for folders/subfolders. All the pictures/folders/subfolders must stay on the disk, of course...
