Description Michael Biebl 2007-01-25 10:14:15 UTC 
After having indexed my complete home directory, I decided to add a directory to NoWatchDirectory. 
On next startup of trackerd, this directory is indeed ignored.
Unfortunately the entries regarding this directory were not removed from the index and could still be found.
So, even if I cleaned up this directory completly, t-s-t would still find these stale entries, which do not exist anymore.

This happens also when you remove the directory from WatchDirectory (without adding it to NoWatchDirectory)
Maybe the database is never purged

THis was fixed some time ago
