Regex formulation for excluded
I could use some help on writing the regex to exclude a particular subdirectory in my album tree from the scanner.
I have a subdirectory of photos taken on the equator that exiftool returns the GPS Latitude tag as a string instead of a float causing the scanner to crash. I don't have a workaround for this, so for now I'd like to exclude this subdirectory from the scan. I see in /etc/myphotoshare/myphotoshare.conf there is an option the specify a regex in a file "/etc/myphotoshare/myphotoshare.excluded" to do this. I've had no success in making this work having tried various incantations similar to below but none of them are excluding the problematic subdirectory so the scanner crashes.
chrisw@nuc4:~ $ cat /etc/myphotoshare/myphotoshare.excluded
#exclude these directories from myphotoshare scanner
/home/chrisw/Pictures/Galapagos/*
"/usr/share/myphotoshare/web/albums" is a link pointing to "/home/chrisw/Pictures" where the problematic subdirectory (Galapagos) lives.
Could anyone suggest what should be the correct regex to exclude a particular subdirectory.
