@etnoy does the file watcher respect exclusions?

@etnoy does the file watcher respect exclusions?

It should, but I realize we never added tests for that. I will have to investigate.

Thanks for the report!

same issue

[etnoy]

There were some watcher refactors in 1.95

[etnoy]

OK. I just confirmed that exclusion patterns do work with file watchers, and this has not been changed in the latest version. However, due to some technicalities Immich still needs to watch all files, and exclusion patterns are filtered in a later steps.

The core issue you are having is that the number of file watchers is limited by your operating system. The fix is to increase this limit, as documented here: https://watchexec.github.io/docs/inotify-limits.html

For those on Synology (I'm on a ds 920+, DSM 7.2.1) this worked for me: https://github.com/immich-app/immich/issues/7303#issuecomment-1958043509
