Hey Jeremy, - Initial indexing (How long does it take? Does it make the computer noticeably less responsive?)
I already tried to reply this to Jorge, it does depend. Depends on the amount of files and disk throughput. - Search (Is search in Nautilus more or less responsive with tracker? How noticeable is the difference?) Full-text search in Tracker is fairly optimized, plain FTS queries usually take ~30-50ms across multiple thousands of indexed documents. This is fast enough for search-as-you-type as nautilus uses it, and definitely faster than the recursive filename matching paths. Hi Martin, - Is it acceptable to have approximate search results if the indexing isn't (yet) up to date? If tracker-miner-fs is not paused/throttled down, it will pick up changes in monitored folders just as fast as any other app, there is very little extra overhead above the gio/inotify delays. - Does it significantly affect battery life? Given Tracker is pretty conservative while on battery, that's a bold "no". However "acceptable" or "significant" something is is entirely in the eye of the beholder. It's not news that there's a trade off between instantness and cpu/battery, Tracker can't get the best of both worlds at the same time. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to nautilus in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1666676 Title: Enable tracker by default for Unity too To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/1666676/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
