Sometimes tracker seems to miss to index a file. If I explicetely mv the file to /tmp and back, trackerd picks it up correctly. > It works pretty good now and is quite fast, but I still have some > questions and suggestions: > > General: > * Can't tracker index hidden files/directories?

All good points imho. Please to go http://bugzilla.gnome.org/ and file bugs against the "tracker" component so these issues are not forgotten.
