SDB:Baloo excludes directories

Jump to: navigation, search

You computer may contain a lot of files that doesn't need to be indexed. For example, source code folders (git, svn) may contains thousands of files. But you usually only manage them in your editor/IDE (kate, kdevelop, etc.) because they provides better search functions for source codes. Excluding these files can improve performance of Baloo.
