My topdirs variable is set to "./". It looks like the issue relates to relative paths only. > Furthermore, additional args have always been ignored by recollindex if > neither -i nor -e was set.

The behaviour for the new version would always be to only consider files below /tmp. Given the above I guess that my issue relates to recollindex having added a call to chdir that was not present in the old version: http://sources.debian.net/src/recoll/1.20.3-2/index/recollindex.cpp/#L403 I am not sure whether the issue at hand is worth fixing at all or whether I just need to update my configuration in a suitable way. Possibly the value of topdirs could be canonicalized using realpath prior to invoking chdir? That's probably just the tip of the iceberg though.
