By blacklisting path "/home/ user/folder" , I would expect Zeitgeist to stop logging all activities regarding files within that folder. Still, logging happens to those files, if their path include symlinks like "/home/ user/Desktop/ folder" pointing to "/home/ user/folder" .
Basically for every folder path, we need to check if the path is a symlink and then check if the path is actually present in the blacklist templates
