Piwigo - Exclude Directories from Sync¶

Adding Directories to Ignore List¶

If you use Piwigo’s Synchronize function (Tools → Synchronize) you are probably using Piwigo as a storage for photos at the same time, and there are directories you probably wish to skip from being imported into Piwigo’s database during synchronization.

If you are a DSM user, you might encounter @eaDir invalid name warnings during synchronization and face the problem where Piwigo would sync all the DSM created thumbnails.

To make Piwigo ignore these directories, use the LocalFiles Editor plugin and add the following:

$conf['sync_exclude_folders'] = array(
  '@eaDir',
  'folder1',
  'folder2'
  );
