the "don't log" option is available also with real folders.
anyway i studied your problem and only solutions i can see are
- to follow the suggestion you got (of changing the location of files, dividing)
- or to disable the logging options and to script your logging method.
in the future i may add another tool for filtering the log in such cases.
The "don't log" is for the entire folder, and all the files I do want to log are in there as well. Basically, it's big folders with lots of home movie clips, karaoke recordings, etc. There's one thumbnail picture per "real download item", which makes the page prettier, but I don't want to see that in the log, since it looks so similar to a real download. But if I can't clean it, I can't clean it. HFS is still the best and easiest tool for what I do.
One last thought... From an HTML standpoint, it's just the stuff sent over as a result of IMG tags that gets in the way. Real downloads are pointed to with an A tag and the HREF does not point to a picture. Does that open the door to any tricks? Any way to block things by the tag? Maybe CSS classes? (I don't know how to use events yet.) Obviously having all the pictures in a "don't log" folder would work, but that's too much re-org and re-write of entire site for me, since all thumbnails are same filename across entire tree to keep index files almost identical for easy copy pasta.
Thanks.
