hey, i'd like to know if tracker can find changes in the filesystem, which happened while it wasn't running and then index or remove the created or deleted files. for example when i create a file in a watched dir and tracker wasn't running. since tracker has a list of all files in those dirs, can or does it see that this is a new file and will index the file? i'm asking, because i had some folders and removed them while trackerd wasn't running. couldn't tracker see that those folder doesn't exist anymore when it's started, and remove it from the index? because those folders where still found when i searched for them. another thing is the nowatchdir option: when i add a folder to the nowatchdirs, shouldn't tracker not list anything which is in that folder anymore? i added a folder to the nowatchdir after it was indexed, so tracker still has those files indexed. i would think it would be better to remove anything which is in nowatchdirs from the index when tracker is restarted or upon change (via the tracker-preferences gui). maybe i musunderstand some things, so i'd like to get some information or opinions on these. greetz, BjÃrn
