[Zeitgeist] [Bug 940907] [NEW] Don't log *.part files in Downloads folder
Public bug reported: Hello: I really like Downloads folder being monitored, really handy! The problem is that FF creates a *.part file until the download is finished, so in the end you get two files in the DB, yet the *.part one has ceased to exist and is redundant. I'll humbly recommend: a) Just keep the $filename*.part file in DB until $filename appears/is complete, which I guess can be a PITA since you'll have to do checks and DB deletions. b) Don't log *.part files at all. Since most cannot be opened anyway, being incomplete files, I don't think not-logging *.part files will be a loss. ** Affects: zeitgeist-datahub Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Zeitgeist Framework Team, which is the registrant for Zeitgeist Datahub. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/940907 Title: Don't log *.part files in Downloads folder Status in Zeitgeist Datahub: New Bug description: Hello: I really like Downloads folder being monitored, really handy!
