Tuning file search results to exclude pycache (or other cache) files

kskollepara commented 1 year ago

Description

When I search for a python script, albert shows me the corresponding __pycache__ file and not the python script file. See the screenshot below.

Expected behavior

I would like to be able to search the python file. In the above example, I expect custom_functions.py to appear in search results.

Steps to reproduce

Not sure how I can provide further info on reproducing this bug.

Maybe you mixed up pyc and py in the mimedilters. Did you really want to get pyc results? I'll close this since for now this is a support question.

This is a bug tracker. For support join one of the community chats.

No, I don't want pyc results. I didn't change anything related to mime filters (don't even know how to).

I will refer to community chats, thank you

You should probably check your files plugin settings.

Okay, I added python type to the mime filter and added pyc to the ignored patterns. Now it works, and does not pollute results with pyc files.

It's still weird that I experience this problem for files in that directory, I had been looking up python files at other paths without any problems.

Anyway, Thanks a lot
