Re: Beagle and its startup

[Andreas Heinz <dashboard a80 net>]

Hi there again :)

thanks for pointing me to that bugreport.
After really restarting beagle with exercise_the_dog beagle did a really 
fast job and indexed all open things. problem is now that some of my 
files can't be found via the query.
is there a possibilty to work around the automatic index and index a 
path manually, so that this path comes to my normal index?
i know this isn't really a solution, but it would help as long as this 
bug (?) exists.

for example: i have my mp3s in /mp3s
there are some directorys in it with name "herbert ... "

a "beagle-query herbert" only lists some documents, but doesnt tell 
about the folders. /mp3s is configurated to be indexed.

i think i did all right, but don't know for sure ;)

bye
Andreas
