Hi All,

Feedback wanted of an idea.

I love to put all files that belongs to an idea into the attachment
folder of the wiki-tree. Most of the time this works fine, but sometimes
files get indexed that shouldn't f.x. source-files of a programming project.

One solution is to put a ".zimconfig" into each folder that havn't the
default setting. This can be if spell check language is different from
default, or you don't want to scan a directory into the wiki.

Attacted is one example of how not-to-scan-directory can be. When
".zimconfig" exists in the attachment folder, the folder is not scanned.

".zimconfig" can be more specific of configuration, i.e. "ignoredir" or
"language="", in later implementations.

The attached example does not delete pages which are in the database. It
only doesn't scan new ones. To test first delete the database in
".zim/index.db"

Is it a feature we want?

Best regards,
Patrik
