Description Tomas Rimkus 2008-04-20 13:36:03 UTC 
Please describe the problem:
Tracker seems to be caught in an infinite loop, indexing same files forever.

As you might notice

is listed few times, also other things are also repeating.

Steps to reproduce:
Not really sure. I didn't do anything unusual, except 
pausing indexing and shutting down the pc.

Comment 1 Ivan Frade 2008-12-30 12:03:27 UTC 
Thanks for taking the time to report this bug.

However, you are using a version that is too old and not supported anymore. GNOME developers are no longer working on that version, so unfortunately there will not be any bug fixes for the version that you use.

By upgrading to a newer version of GNOME you could receive bug fixes and new functionality. You may need to upgrade your Linux distribution to obtain a newer version of GNOME.
Please feel free to reopen this bug if the problem still occurs with a newer version of GNOME.

@Ivan Frade
The bug report is more than 8 months old...
Comment 3 Martyn Russell 2010-05-17 13:30:29 UTC 
Moving "Indexer" component bugs to "General" since "Indexer" refers to the old 0.6 architecture
