Investigation / discussion with Engineering reveals:
- The photo scanner was rewritten.
- It was working as of
./Release-Notes/1.9.3.en.txt:- (Scanner) Some plexignore rules were not being applied for photo libraries (#5866)
- Change / enhancement request has been submitted to request adjusting the priority of this work. Be advised however. ignoring specific photos in a photo libary is not the intent of the .plexignore
- Best practice for all media is to only put those files you want scanned in the directories.
