Any hopes for updating to 3.18?
Definitely, but I've got currently not the time to test it. If you wish, you could try it by yourself:
Seems to be working fine here... (Testing it by sporadically while using it for a few days.)
One thing that is annoying and not sure why it is happening is that it seems to be that the extension searches some directories by default (e.g. /usr/share/applications/
). Interestingly, if I try the same query within tracker, I don't get those results (and this is okay, since that dir does not belong to the set of tracked directories). Any ideas?
i don't think this is an issue of the extension: it's just a frontend for tracker and doesn't index anything itself. you can look in the source in check the query it uses. also be aware some data from /usr/share/applications could actually be from ./local/share/applications.
But the inconsistency of the results from the same query from two different ways of invoking it seems suspicious already. Should this be reported upstream?
Hello,
Sorry for the late answer. First, thanks for the test of 3.18 compatibility. Then, about your second question:
If I try the same query within tracker
I'm not surprised that results are different, we certainly don't apply same filters on the SPARQL query.
For me this an issue of tracker configuration: if you don't want to see all files from your $HOME
, you should configure tracker to not scan your $HOME
directory, but only your $HOME/Documents
for example.
I don't think my tracker configuration is set to scan home
or /usr
dir. Here is the output from gsettings list-recursively | grep -i org.freedesktop.Tracker | sort | uniq
:
1150:org.freedesktop.Tracker.Miner.Files index-recursive-directories ['/home/user/resources/indexed']
1160:org.freedesktop.Tracker.Miner.Files index-single-directories ['/home/user/resources', '&DOCUMENTS']
That is why I think the issue is in the extension (possibly in the SPARQL query).
The extension shows as "outdated" in extensions.gnome.org and won't install This is on Fedora 23
