The first thing to check is the ownership & permissions of a file that your Touch has been able to index. Then check the ownership & permissions of the recently added files skipped by the scan.
Using the ls -al command above, you'll get an output that looks something like this: [directory]$ ls -al drwxr-x--- owner group filesize date time .. rwxr-x--- owner group filesize date time filename.type The first line after the command is the directory info, hence the "d". The second and following lines relate to individual files. The first "rwx" indicates the owner can read, write & execute this file. The middle "r-x" shows that any member of the group can read & execute, but not write over the file. The last "---" says that all other users have no access to the file. Note that any of the three groups (owner, group, all others) can have any combo of r, w or x. Where "owner group" shows will be replaced by the owner's user ID and his group status. The filesize, date, time & filename info is self-evident. If there is a difference between the owner/group info of the file Touch can scan and the one it cant, that is likely your problem. You can use the chown command to change the ownership & group info on a file and the chmod command to change the permissions if needed. From the command prompt, type "man chown" or "man chmod" for use options. You can also change permissions from the GUI Nautilus file browser under the properties/permissions tab. However, I'd recommend that you first just check if there is a difference between the files Touch can scan and the ones it can't. -- mlsstl ------------------------------------------------------------------------ mlsstl's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9598 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=87858 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
