I have lots of art folders within my album and artist folders and these folders then show up on my Home page. Be good if there was an option to exclude these folders from scans, the existing exclude options don't appear to work at folder level.
Thanks

Workaround: Change the security rights on your Art Folders, so Madsonic is not able to read them.

Re: Exclude art folders from scans
We'll add a setting that lets you define folders to exclude when scanning your library.

Re: Exclude art folders from scans
I'll guess, you have to try yourself :-)
But as fas as I can see in -> Settings -> Media Folders you can use regex to create crazy patterns. Multiline Textfield would be so much easier for nun regex-users :-) But then, others will complain about missing flexibilities...
Try the | to add an OR expression, like (Extrathumbs) | (Extrafanart)
Maybe this helps for starting?

Re: Exclude art folders from scans
I use this expression and works well for me. You may need to amend it depending on your requirements and folder names:
Code: Select all
(?i)scan\w$|(?i)cover\w|(?i)artwork$|(?i)scans covers$|(?i)album[ ](?i)art$|(?i)art$|(?i)images$|(?i)scans[ ](?i)deluxe$
