Am I doing something wrong?

Post by RobiWan »

Hi,

I have been testing NeoFinder for a few days now. I noticed one thing straight away and so far I haven't found a solution.
Maybe I have a slightly different idea. I browse through the directories and all files are displayed and not just the image files.
I tried to hide it with the DatabaseSettings.xml file but somehow it doesn't work.
Am I doing something wrong or is it just the way it is with NeoFinder?

Code: Select all

cat DatabaseSettings.xml 
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
        <key>cdfIgnoreFolders</key>
        <array>
                <string>CptureOne</string>
        </array>
        <key>cdfIgnoreMetadataFileSuffixes</key>
        <array>
                <string>.dop</string>
                <string>.gif</string>
                <string>.on1photo</string>
        </array>
        <key>cdfIgnoreMetadataFolderSuffixes</key>
        <array/>
        <key>ignoreFileWithSuffixes</key>
        <array>
                <string>.dop</string>
                <string>.gif</string>
                <string>.on1photo</string>
        </array>
        <key>possibleSequenceFileSuffixes</key>
        <array/>
        <key>quicklookThumbailFileSuffixes</key>
        <array/>
        <key>textFileSuffixes</key>
        <array/>
</dict>
</plist>

I would like to hide everything that is not an image file (CaptureOne directory, *.dop,*.on1, *.xmp...)

Correct the spelling in the "cdfIgnoreFolders" section, and add the file name suffixes to the "ignoreFileWithSuffixes" section, not the "cdfIgnoreMetadataFileSuffixes" section, as outlined in the Users Guide:

https://www.cdfinder.de/guide/3/3.10/ex ... oging.html

Best use the graphical editor.
