Description

Currently Recognize attempts to process all files unless the directory contains .noimage, .novideo or .nomedia (ie, opt-out).

I only want a few directories to be processed, eg the Photos directory. I'd like there to be an option in settings to switch to opt-in, and select the directories I want to be processed - all others should be ignored.
