GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 415957
update results automatically if there are changes on monitored directories
Last modified: 2018-08-11 21:45:26 UTC
TST should continuously return fresh results as the filesystem changes instead of requiring user to run click Find again. another note: After performing a search and then modifying one of the files that shows on the results, the entry disappears even if the changes have nothing to do with the search term (except share the same file).
Can the reporter of this bug set the _version_ so we can target bugs to work on more easily please. We can also have an idea about if these bugs are likely to be obsolete too. If you don't set the version, we are less likely to look at them. Sorry for the spam, but I don't want to say this 88 times on each bug :)
updating the report: TST should automatically refresh results whenever there are changes in tracker-store.
Actually, I think this issue is still valid. @Martyn Russell: Here's the detail you've asked. rrs@learner:~$ dpkg -l | grep -i tracker ii gir1.2-tracker-1.0:amd64 1.6.1-1 amd64 GObject introspection data for Tracker ii libtracker-control-1.0-0:amd64 1.6.1-1 amd64 library to control/monitor tracker miners ii libtracker-miner-1.0-0:amd64 1.6.1-1 amd64 tracker data miner library ii libtracker-sparql-1.0-0:amd64 1.6.1-1 amd64 metadata database, indexer and search tool - library ii libxatracker2:amd64 11.0.5-1 amd64 X acceleration library -- runtime ii rygel-tracker 0.28.1-1 amd64 GNOME UPnP/DLNA services - Tracker plugin ii tracker 1.6.1-1 amd64 metadata database, indexer and search tool ii tracker-extract 1.6.1-1 amd64 metadata database, indexer and search tool - metadata extractors ii tracker-gui 1.6.1-1 amd64 metadata database, indexer and search tool - GNOME frontends ii tracker-miner-fs 1.6.1-1 amd64 metadata database, indexer and search tool - filesystem indexer 2015-11-27 / 14:33:27 ♒♒♒ ☺ Given that tracker uses inotify, I'm wondering why the changes are not picked ? Is it because of performance problems ? If so, I think you still should provide users the functionality through GUI/CLI Interface, and let them choose. Also, intofiy file changes should be tracked and put in a queue, to be processed later (like in if the user has requested the indexing to only happen when on AC)
Thanks for the feedback. tracker-needle (a.k.a tracker search tool) was discontinued in Tracker 2.0.0, so this is now obsolete.
