Hi all,

I just noticed some behavior on 6.0b1 that I don't think happened before.

Running the Slimserver on Windows XP, my music library is Samba-shared to a bunch of Macintoshes so they can also access the MP3 files directly. Problem is, those Macs create dot-files in the directory to store view preferences.

When Slimserver scans those directories on Windows and sees the dot files, it includes the (invalid) dot files in my music library, because those dot files end with MP3. Further, if I try to play a list (like, "all albums") that includes one of those dot files, the server crashes out.

I noticed that when running the Slimserver on Linux, it knows enough to ignore dot files.

How can I make the Slimserver ignore dot files in the music library directory when running on Windows? Further, as a point of curiosity, is there a way to set an exclude pattern so you could generically exclude files that contain a certain pattern when the Slimserver scans the music library?

Thanks!
