Good Day. I have 47.8 GB worth of Books I want to index in my Calibre Library. Since the "topdir" is the main directory field that the Recoll program will look into to index as its main priority, I want to know how to make a moveable Recoll database where the path is relative instead of absolute so that I don't have to keep rebuilding the index anytime the Calibre Library's Path has changed for e.g. A Calibre Library that is on a Removable Drive or moved to another folder,to another machine. I also want to be able to tell recoll to only index the PDF files and exclude searching or attempting to do anything else with the .OPF and .Jpeg files that are placed in each author's folders for the books they write. How do I achieve this?



My Configuration File(recoll.conf) in my home folder looks like this:



topdirs = /home/duvi/Desktop/Recoll-Test
skippedPaths =
dbdir = /home/duvi/Desktop/recoll.db
skippedNames+ = .epub .jpg .opf
excludedmimetypes = application/epub+zip image/jpeg
noContentSuffixes+ = .epub .jpg .opf
