Re: [Tracker] Images - show in All Files but not in Images

When I select Images the image does not show up in the search report. Is this expected behavior? Ok, a little more on this. The directory where the image is: /home/ajlewis2/media/pictures/ /media is a separate partition, but was mounted at boot and therefore when indexing was done initially. I added the metadata after the initial indexing was done. Now I have found more. If I move the image from that location to my Desktop it is now found as Image. If I then move it back to the original directory it is still found. So, if I tag or edit the exif comment on my images, what would I do to get the information reindexed so that it can be found with tracker. It doesn't seem that moving the files would be optimal. I could move the pictures directory to my Desktop, edit the metadata and then move it back. Does that make sense, or should it be necessary. Thanks again. At least I think I have a solution, even if it is not the best one. Anita PS. I've been writing to myself.

I am convinced now that this is expected behavior. I realized that adding metadata to the image did not really change the file. I discovered to my delight that if I edit a text file and immediately do a search on the term, I find that file. It only makes sense that just adding a tag or metadata would not make a change that gets picked up in the same way. I did not find anything in the manpages that tells me how to do a new index like tracker does when it first starts. I assume that doing that might pick up the added comments in exif on images. Is there a way to create a fresh database? yes delete the old one :) either delete ~/.tracker or ~/.cache/tracker ___ tracker-list mailing list tracker-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/tracker-list
