[ubuntu-mono] [Bug 115289] smarter beagle configuration for excluding items

[Nicolò Chieffo]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: beagle

beagle could have a smarter configuration by default.
most of the time is spent by trying to index files which does not have a filter. Remember that beagled tries to index them at every startup, so it will waste lots of time!

in my opinion it can safely exclude from indexing these type of files:
.exe
.dll
.db (windows thumbnail cache)
.bin
.dat
.class
.lnk (windows shortcuts)
.o (and other C, C++ binary stuff that might be in the user home directory)

A real better solution might be to try to index again the files that
have been failed, only when new index filters are available

** Affects: beagle (Ubuntu)
