Description DavidCognito 2008-02-22 13:06:06 UTC
Please describe the problem:
Each time I boot in to Ubuntu, Tracker starts indexing from the beginning of my files.  

I have 300GB / 85000 files (lots of FLAC, MP3, TIFF, Canon RAW, JPEGs) and have not been able to wait until indexing is complete before rebooting.  Indexing seems much slower than Copernic Desktop Search and appears it may take several hours to complete.

I would expect Tracker to restart from where it last finished - not to go back to file #1 every time.

I have set performance preferences for fastest index speed, 'use additional memory' and 'fast index merges'.

I'm running Ubuntu 8.04 with all updates to date.

Steps to reproduce:
1. boot and let Tracker begin indexing
2. reboot before indexing is complete
3. Tracker will now start indexing from beginning again


Actual results:
Tracker begins indexing from start of files.

Expected results:
Tracker should index from where it left off.

Does this happen every time?
Yes.

Moving "Indexer" component bugs to "General" since "Indexer" refers to the old 0.6 architecture
