excluding external storage folder.

[stratege1401]

Hi.

using Scalways S3 as an external storage for my 15.0.4 server, i notice my server reaction as slowing.

Notice preview generator has started to scan and preview the external storage.

How to avoid it ?
It is slow, useless as s3 is a redundant backup for me and don't need to be scan

sound stupid, can't remember or find the equivalent of .nomedia

I agree.

Running NC16, there is "Enable preview" setting on the external storages.
Unfortunately, it looks like the generator ignores it

Any plans on this? The "enable preview" setting seems like the right way to exclude them.

I guess we have to do the following:

Load all mounts:

use OCA\Files_External\Service\GlobalStoragesService;

// [...]

	/**
	 * @var GlobalStoragesService
	 */
	protected $globalService;

	public function __construct(GlobalStoragesService $globalService) {
		parent::__construct();
		$this->globalService = $globalService;
	}

// [...]

$mounts = $this->globalService->getStorageForAllUsers();

Then for every mount check the mount path and the preview setting in the options:

$mountPath = $mount->getMountPoint(); ; // String
$mountOptions = $mount->getMountOptions(); // $key => $value

Until a new version is released (with the above pull request) a workaround is to create a .nomedia file in the external mount.
