Why did travis-ci fail?

Why is .nomedia not enough?

You can ignore failing travis CI for now.

[tnyeanderson]

Because .nomedia is used by so many apps/scanners, it can have undesirable effects. For instance, I may have a folder for a music album that contains mp3 files and an image for the album cover. If I use .nomedia because I don't want the image to appear in the gallery, the mp3 files won't appear in any music playing apps either because the whole folder will be ignored. It is nice to have an app-specific option to ignore a folder rather than trying to use such a global indicator to do it, potentially messing up other parts of your workflow.

Hope this explains the need.

Yeah sounds good 👍

Can you approve? :)

[tnyeanderson]

Thank you for the excellent suggestions! Will have to wait until I get home to commit the new changes. Will you have to reapprove once I do that? Would love to get this out of my queue......

I think we can merge once the requested changes are in

Sorry for the delay, the day job caught up to me this week :)
