I often build large projects. An example is a site that is built with Jekyll. The build takes about 20 seconds, and changes thousands of HTML files. The same happens when I build the documentation of some projects.
Tracker store picks this up, and then starts indexing them, causing huge CPU spikes.
- I don't need tracker to index these build-artifacts.
- The build artifacts go into one, or at most a very few, known directories, but these might have subdirectories.
- I do want tracker to keep indexing most of my system, I like the features it offers on Ubuntu.
Is it possible to selectively disable tracker indexing or monitoring a certain directory and its subdirectories? On e.g. Android a .nomedia file avoids Android from indexing it: does something like this exist for Tracker, or is there another kind of config for this?
