[Zeitgeist] [Bug 780841] Re: The files lens includes folders that don't exist

2011-07-14 Thread DavidBriscoe 
@Harry: The folders don't always show up for me because my unity search
results for the same query are often inconsistent (see bug 810823). Are
you seeing a Files  Folders section at all (what if you create a file
called ~/downloads.txt)?


Here's more formal steps.

Load up a natty LiveCD
Search down and get the Downloads folder
Delete the ~/Downloads folder from nautilus
Search doc (workaround bug 810823)
Search down and the Downloads folder is still there!

You shouldn't have to do anything other than delete a folder from
nautilus to make it stop showing in your results. That's how it works
for any other file.


I tried applying updates to the LiveCD, but I don't have enough memory. 
However, I've updated unity (dpkg -l output changes from 3.8.10-0ubuntu2 to 
3.8.16-0ubuntu1-natty1) and run setsid unity to restart unity. The above steps 
still show the Downloads folder.

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: unity

  The first thing I do after I install ubuntu is cd ~; rmdir * to
  remove the folders that I don't use. (I already have analogs in
  another partition that I mount as ~/data.)

  However, these folders (~/Downloads, ~/Documents, ~/Pictures,
  ~/Videos) show up in the Dash's search results even though the folders
  don't exist.  I see these ghost folders in Top Results when
  searching by invoking the dash, using Find Files, or using Files 
  Folders.

  I tried clearing my zeitgeist history:
  rm ~/.local/share/zeitgeist/activity.sqlite
  zeitgeist-daemon --replace

  But these folders still show up.

@Krister: It's not built-in, but you could create your own hotkey to
search folders: http://askubuntu.com/questions/49133/are-there-any-

Bug description:
  The Unity interface, with its files-place feature for user access to
  files/documents etc. is really great.

  However there is a problem since the search feature relies wholly on
  zeitgeist (AFAIK), in the zeitgeist is not tracking everything.

  E.g. in openoffice, I create a new file (or open an existing one) from
  within openoffice itself. This file does not show up, presumably
  because openoffice does not (yet) push its activity to zeitgeist.

  I guess any number of other programs could suffer the same problem.

  For the average user, this is surely going to be confusing. They will
  create documents via legitimate means ('New ...' buttons in their
  applications), and then expect to be able to search for them in the
  Unity files-place interface.

  To avoid this confusion I would guess there really needs to be a
  filesystem watcher on the home dir (or key folders within it) so that
  zeitgeist is aware of activity caused by non-zeitgeist-aware
  applications.
