How to exclude .lnk shortcut from reading by Digicam?

[Gilles Caulier]

Hi Василий Васин,

There are no settings yet in the application where we can ignore specific
extensions of the file while scanning. It's technically possible as we
ignore temporary files generated by the application itself at 2 place in
source codes :

https://invent.kde.org/graphics/digikam/-/blob/master/core/libs/database/collection/collectionscanner_utils.cpp?ref_type=heads#L590

https://invent.kde.org/graphics/digikam/-/blob/master/core/libs/database/collection/collectionscanner_scan.cpp?ref_type=heads#L823

The DK/Setup/Collection/Ignored Directories configuration dialog page must
be patched to propose this kind of option.

I do not find any report in bugzilla to ignore specific files (not
directories). Please open a new whish in bugzilla in the section
Setup-Database:

https://bugs.kde.org/buglist.cgi?bug_status=UNCONFIRMED&bug_status=CONFIRMED&bug_status=ASSIGNED&bug_status=REOPENED&classification=Applications&component=Setup-Database&product=digikam&query_format=advanced

My best.
