What triggers a file's "re-index"ing? Like if it's contents have changed, obviously, but how does beagle determine this? I don't know what goes in the EAs, or even what files the EAs are attatched to (must be the actual files being indexed -- there would not really need to be EAs otherwise I'd figure), but I guess for this type of scenario (which happened to me too! Ran with EAs not enabled for a while) it would be nice if beagle noticed that it is able to create EAs where it was not when the file was last indexed and just do it. Maybe that's just too difficult. I'm just armchair quarterbacking here. :-) b. -- My other computer is your Microsoft Windows server. Brian J. Murrell
