Description Zulfiqar Ali 2007-01-06 10:42:22 UTC 
File paths whose last folder has a name whose prefix matches that of another folder cannot be added
for eg /media/hda3/music and /media/hda3/music+* cannot both be added
Comment 1 Joe Shaw 2007-01-06 16:34:10 UTC 
Cannot both be added where?
Comment 2 Joe Shaw 2007-02-14 21:36:20 UTC 
closing INCOMPLETE from lack of response
Comment 3 Zulfiqar Ali 2007-02-17 16:14:51 UTC 
Im sure I replied back before :S
Anyways the problem is in the Beagle Search preferences

When you are adding additional indexing paths you cannot add paths such as 
/mnt/folders/foo and /mnt/folders/foo(+anything else)

Basically if the starting part of the path name exactly matches a previously added path it cannot be added.
