Package: tracker Version: 1.6.1-1 Severity: important Tracker seems to be very deficient in certain basic functionality.
It spends a huge amount of time in indexing the data, and then when a user makes a minor change, it discards all data and starts the indexing process all over, again. Steps to reproduce: 1) Index data with tracker 2) Make a note with `tracker status` 3) Make a change in GUI like, add a new glob patter to excluded in results, like say '*.xmp' 4) Tracker prompts saying that it needs to re-index. 5) Say yes, and all is lost. 6) Say no, and you have irrelevant data For something as basic as this, discarding all data is wrong. -- System Information: Debian Release: stretch/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (500, 'unstable'), (101, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.3.0+ (SMP w/4 CPU cores; PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=en_IN.utf8, LC_CTYPE=en_IN.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages tracker depends on: ii dbus 1.10.4-1 ii dconf-gsettings-backend [gsettings-backend] 0.24.0-2 ii libc6 2.19-22 ii libexempi3 2.2.2-2+b1 ii libglib2.0-0 2.46.2-1 ii libtagc0 1.9.1-2.4 ii libtracker-control-1.0-0 1.6.1-1 ii libtracker-sparql-1.0-0 1.6.1-1 ii shared-mime-info 1.5-2 Versions of packages tracker recommends: ii tracker-gui 1.6.1-1 ii tracker-miner-fs 1.6.1-1 tracker suggests no packages. -- no debconf information
