Re: [Tracker] Images - show in "All Files" but not in "Images"

I have an image that has a comment "Joanne" in the exif.  When I search

Is this expected behavior?


Ok, a little more on this.  The directory where the image is:

/home/ajlewis2/media/pictures/

/media is a separate partition, but was mounted at boot and therefore
when indexing was done initially.

I added the metadata after the initial indexing was done.

Now I have found more.  If I move the image from that location to my
Desktop it is now found as Image.  If I then move it back to the
original directory it is still found.

So, if I tag or edit the exif comment on my images, what would I do to
get the information reindexed so that it can be found with tracker.  It
doesn't seem that moving the files would be optimal.  I could move the
pictures directory to my Desktop, edit the metadata and then move it
back. Does that make sense, or should it be necessary.

Thanks again.  At least I think I have a solution, even if it is not the
best one.
