--include <glob>

By default, all files in the --input folder are added to the gallery. This optional pattern controls which files to include instead.

• It must be a valid glob pattern such as **/IMG_*
• When targeting a folder name, make sure it’s followed by stars, such as holidays/**
• If specified multiples times, files matching any of the patterns will be included
• This does not change the kind of extensions that are supported (**/*.doc will not include Word documents)

When using a JSON config file, make sure that this value is an array, such as

{
  "include": ["**/IMG_*"]
}

--exclude <glob>

This optional pattern controls which files to exclude from the input folder. Exclusions are applied after inclusions.

• It must be a valid glob pattern such as **/IMG_* or **/work/**
• When excluding a directory, make sure to use folder/ or folder/** (not just the name)
• Some folders are always excluded by default, such as
  • any folder starting with a dot
  • Synology vendor folders (thumbnails, recycle bin)

When using a JSON config file, make sure that this value is an array, such as

{
  "exclude": ["**/IMG_*"]
}

--include-photos <boolean>

Whether to index / process / display standard photo files (jpg, png…). Notes:

• if set to false, the corresponding file types will be ignored regardless of any --include patterns
• if set to true, it doesn’t bring back any files that were ignored using --include/exclude

--include-videos <boolean>

Whether to index / process / display standard video files (mp4, mov…).

--include-raw-photos <boolean>

Whether to index / process / display camera RAW files (Nikon NEF, Canon CR2…). Just like other photos, RAW files are processed to generate thumbnails and a web-friendly preview. Processing RAW files requires dcraw to be installed.
