GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 314329
Moving of folders does not register

Please describe the problem: Quick info on mailing list says this is partly because limitations in inotify, partly because it's just not implemented. Steps to reproduce: 1. Use Best (for example) and search for any file. 2. Move the entire directory that file is in to another location. 3. Best does not update the path and keeps showing the file at it's old location. 4. Searching for the file again shows no results whatsoever until restart. Actual results: Item remains in Best but it have not updated the path, it still thinks it's in the old position. Expected results: Beagle should update it's index to make this as smooth as moving separate files around. Does this happen every time? Yes. Other information: When pressing Find again after having moved the directory, Best shows no results whatsoever, even if I move the directory back to it's original position.
This is partially fixed in CVS.
