Description tagwerk19 2021-05-20 08:54:49 UTC
SUMMARY:

    Wishlist: To be able to specify which data to index with a "filters"
    and/or "mimetypes" option

POSSIBLE USE CASES:

    To index just audio (by mimetype) by giving

        Mimetypes: audio/* 

    or just (by file extension) images

        Filters: *.jpg,*.jpeg,*.png 

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

    This is the inverse of the "exclude filters" and "exclude mimetypes"
    options in .config/baloofilerc. There seems to be no way of indexing
    just a certain file type.

    There's a potential knock-on effect to the Dolphin search prompts,
    some clever footwork may be required not to offer, for example,
    searches of "images" if only "audio" has been indexed

    Allow "index file content" per file type so it can be enabled
    for media but not for documents.
