I hate when a phone does not respond for ages.

tracker-cfg is gui software to edit tracker properties.
Also instead of normal file manager i would suggest you use hamsterfiler.

"rm -f *.db"
reboot the phone, wait for tracker made the index and you go back in previous state, so you will don't break your phone. I have done the things 5 times since my first post and everything is fine. Imageviewer and Mediaplayer don"t index all my "Windows Only Stuff, Temporary file" now.

Beware with the rm, do it in the good directory and only delete *.db, not all the file.

If you want exclue MyDocs/Images add $HOME/MyDocs/Images

Images and .Images are not the same directory !
case is sensitive.
I dont't know whats happen if the same directory is in WatchList and No****chList.

Last thing : Always keep the file tracker.ORIG so you can always restore the original configuration.

I did this and rebooted. Now the folders are missing which I added to be not indexed. There was my WWW server stuff.. I restored original tracker.cfg and rebooted but no help. What I can do??

I think the files are still somewhere because the device has the same amount of space left.

Thats what I did and the "tail log" was empty.

I also tried this:

Code:

And this but it has not ended yet (but CPU seems to be use in between times by tracker processes):

Code:

n900:~# /usr/lib/tracker/trackerd -r &
n900:~# Initializing trackerd...
Starting log:
  File:'/root/.local/share/tracker/trackerd.log'

Current log file (no changes in 30 minutes):

^^^ There's your problem. It should read,

Code:

n900:~$ tracker-processes -r
...

In other words, run it as a user, not root.

create the folowing folders on MyDocs with filebox :
.camera
.sounds
.images
.videos
.documents

after that rebuild databases via tracker-cfg and post log here

Looks like it might be useful to understand what the problem is first. Reviving an 8 months old thread with an out-of-the-blue description does not really help. " Now the folders are missing which I added to be not indexed..." Missing from where? Media Player? File Manager? Better problem description, please!
