Can't get tracker.cfg to work right
I'm probably doing something wrong, but I couldn't figure it out myself searching the forum..
I can't seem to add folders to the NoWatch list.. The ones who were originally there are blocked, but the ones I've tried to add (Games and recordings) still show in the media player.. Also folders that I haven't added to the watch list *do* show in the player.. As if it's monitoring all of mydocs.. This is the tracker.cfg file.. Why is it doing that? Code:

This is really bothering me, and I can't figure it out.. Can anyone help?

Re: Can't get tracker.cfg to work right
Did you try rebooting the phone after making the changes to the tracker configuration? I found that necessary when excluding folders on mine.

Or try deleting all the .db files and then rebooting in: /home/user/.cache/tracker |
Re: Can't get tracker.cfg to work right
Both don't change a thing..

Re: Can't get tracker.cfg to work right
Any weird linking going on between directories? It's my last guess as I can't see anything wrong with the tracker.cfg (to the best of my knowledge)

Re: Can't get tracker.cfg to work right
Your tracker.cfg looks ok, you should try refreshing the databases the proper way (you don't need to reboot phone to apply tracker settings). If you like command line do:
tracker-processes -r /usr/lib/tracker/trackerd & If you want a GUI I have written one that is in extras-devel called tracker-cfg. And yes, the entire MyDocs directory is indexed, this is because it counts as a removable device. |
Re: Can't get tracker.cfg to work right
Is there any way to prevent all of the MyDocs folder from being indexed? I have some projects stored on there with thousands of images and it is just making the phone sluggish. I was trying to make it so that only the music, DCIM and video folders are indexed using the tracker-cfg tool.
Edit: I was able to add folders to nowatch and remove them successfully, but it is a pain to do it for every folder I add |
Re: Can't get tracker.cfg to work right
I think it is easier if you just put MyDocs (i.e. the root of internal drive in the gui file browser) in NoWatchDirectory and then add the foldrs you want indexed to WatchDirectoryRoots. If you have some dirs that you only fill with content when connecting in mass storage mode (e.g. for me my music folder work this way), you can put them in CrawlDirectory instead.

I edited the tracker.cfg file manually and added the additional folders to the NoWatch list, ran 'tracker-processes -r' and rebooted but Media Player would still show the additional audio files. I then installed the 'tracker-cfg' app. It showed the additional folders I had already added manually. I didn't change anything except I selected 'Rebuild Databases' and it worked perfectly. Thank you demiurgus :D |
