Hello Björn, AFAIK, this is how tracker works:
The 1% thing stays there because during the initial crawling phase, there's no way to accurately tell how much there is left to recursively crawl in the root indexed directory. That value is hard-coded and doesn't really mean much up until the initial crawling is done. On start-up, Tracker will recursively crawl the folders it is configured to index. During this phase it will pick up every single file and directory that isn't explicitly being ignored via config options. For each file, it will compare the file's last modified time on disk and the value in Tracker's DB to decide if it needs to be updated or added or whatever. During this phase Tracker will also set up monitors to keep track of any modifications to any directories or files. This is done every time the Tracker Miner File System is started. So, that is what is happening behind the curtains while you get these logs: 14 jun 2017, 06:55:10: 1% File System - Crawling recursively directory 'file:///home/bjorn' If this is taking an extremely long time, it is most likely due to the sheer number of files and stuff present inside 'file:///home/bjorn'. You may want to take a closer look at your configuration to know what is being set up for recursive indexation and what is being ignored. You could try adding some directories to the ignore list if there is stuff that doesn't really need to be indexed and could be taking a long time to crawl. You can find some Tracker configuration options here: https://wiki.gnome.org/Projects/Tracker/Documentation/Configuration Hope this helps, José On 14 June 2017 at 08:03, Björn Johansson <bjorn_johans...@bio.uminho.pt> wrote: > Hi, I installed tracker a couple of weeks ago and after some initial > struggle, it seemed to work.
