Description Andrey Vetlugin 2018-06-28 11:32:11 UTC

I am a developer and I have huge directories with the name 'node_modules' in my projects. I don't want to index node_modules, but I still want to index my projects.

I could not find a way to configure baloo to exclude directories with the name 'node_modules' wherever they are located.

I have tried these things:
exclude filters=..........,node_modules,**/node_modules,node_modules/**,**/node_modules/**
exclude folders[$e]=..........,**/node_modules,node_modules,**/node_modules,node_modules/**,**/node_modules/**

None of this seems to work, I can still see baloo indexing node_modules with 'balooctl monitor' after I restart baloo.

I am using Ubuntu 17.10 with baloo 5.38.0 (balooctl --version)
