Except when it doesn't. I don't like this automagic stuff. There's bound to be edge cases where it doesn't work, possibly quite a lot of them. And all those user who encounter them will have no way of knowing whats happening and will just squawk loudly and often that search is still broken. To me, it looks like taking something simple - indexing a collection of directories, and over thinking/making it really complicated. I think you'd be better off keeping it simple and letting the user decide what they want indexed. > I guess we can stop to worry about desktop > search anymore. I currently have no idea what is being indexed on my pc. I have no way of finding out. If I change my directory structure or add extra media mounts I just have to have faith that baloo does the right thing. It just seems a recipe for user angst and frustration. -- Lindsay
