Package: recoll Version: 1.10.6-1 I installed recoll on a fairly sparse system and it took ages to index every time. It was only when I ran it from a terminal that I realised it was missing some required packages for indexing certain types of file. Ideally a better message would be given via the UI, and/or it would skip the types of file it can't index rather than take the time to fail at runtime. But perhaps at least these extra packages could be depend/recommend/suggested by recoll. The ones I had to install were:
libimage-exiftool-perl libid3-3.8.3-dev pstotext Really excellent program which found my file in the 'safe place' where I'd lost it!
