Scan-free folder

grossaffe:
I wouldn't know how to search for this topic if it already does exist because any key words are very ambiguous.

so, down to business.  Is there anything I can do to prevent rockbox from picking up sound-files from certain folders and putting them in the database?  In my case, I have a sansa e200 as you all know, it has a built-in voice recorded.  The problem is that those voice-recordings are sound-files and rockbox picks up on them and assumes they're songs and loads them into the database to play with the rest of my music.  Is there a text file I can plant in the a folder or something that tells the database scanner not to look in this folder?

Llorean:
Just put database.ignore files in any folders you don't want scanned (it'll prevent scanning of the folder, and all folders under it). There's already one in the .rockbox folder.

grossaffe:
So it should just be basically an empty file named database.ignore?

edit: never mind, doesn't matter.  As you said, there's already one in the .rockbox folder, so i guess all I need to do is copy it over.  thanks for the help.

Strife89:
And for future reference:
If there's a subfolder inside an ignored folder that you DO want scanned, simply put a file in the subfolder called database.unignore

GodEater:
That got commited ?

I didn't think it had...

Apparently it did. My bad.
