It would be nice to have the ability to mark certain folders as ignored in digiKam, either manually, one at a time, or via some sort of pattern match in the settings.  For instance, I use JAlbum to create albums for the web (predating digiKam), and the albums are stored in a subfolder called "album" under the picture folder (called, for instance, "birthday-08").  I really don't need to tag those pictures or even find them in searches or browsing, as they are generated and merely copies for the web.  Another example is a subfolder called "resized", where smaller copies of a few pictures might be created for email or whatever, that do not need to be cataloged.  In both cases it's preferable for me to keep the files near the source, and not in another location outside the digiKam tree.

Being able to say "ignore folders named album,resized" or "exclude folders starting with ~" would be nice.
