Description Trane Francks 2005-04-20 07:08:10 UTC
Version:           2.1.2 (using KDE 3.3.2, compiled sources)
Compiler:          gcc version 3.3.4
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.4.29

It would be very nice to have an option to exclude hidden directories from the subdirectories contained in the Folders list. I'm a member of eMusic and their download manager uses a .incomplete folder to temporarily store its downloads before moving them to the permanent location. This .incomplete directory sits in the root of my defined music directory, e.g., /mnt/music/hdb1/.incomplete, so it gets randomly scanned while JuK is playing back. After downloading my tracks and reloading manually, a smattering of these temporary .incomplete/*.mp3 tracks are listed in the track list and must be cleared manually. It's a wee bit of a pain.

Please consider adding the option of excluding hidden directories or make it the default behaviour. And thanks for a great application. JuK sees use use 18/7/365 here. It's just a brilliant app.

It would also be nice to exclude hidden folders from being scanned since the user may set his home folder to be scanned. The hidden folders aren't even viewable from the folder selection list, so a user may not know why the scan is taking so long.

Any Wine user will also have a .wine folder which contains symlinks to /home, among other places, causing Juk to scan in an endless loop.
