Description Martin Sommer 2005-09-12 15:50:55 UTC

I touch a file "test" to $HOME" and to $HOME/subfolder. After searching for
"test" in beagle, both files appears after touching them. Then, after clicking
on "find" button, one of them disappears in the beagle result windows. After
opening and saving the "disappeared" file again, it appeared again in the beagle
window (again both files are visible). Then after clicking the "find" button
again, the other one disappears and so on.

Are you copying the file, or just doing "touch test" and "touch foo/test" ?

Comment 2 Jon Trowbridge 2005-09-12 17:08:25 UTC

I've been unable to reproduce this bug.  There were several glitches in the file
system backend that have been fixed for RC2 -- it is possible that one of those
problems caused your index to get into a weird state, leading to the behavior
you observed.  But obviously it is difficult to know for sure.

After you upgrade to RC2, could you check to see if you are still having the
same problem?  If your index is in an invalid state, you might need to rm -rf
~/.beagle/Index/FileSystemIndex.  Thanks.

Comment 4 Jon Trowbridge 2005-09-12 20:01:42 UTC

The bug was closed by mistake.  This is not a dup of 104365.

Comment 5 Martin Sommer 2005-09-13 06:34:21 UTC

I made touch test and then cp test foo. I'll check again today with RC2.

Comment 6 Martin Sommer 2005-09-13 10:12:12 UTC

The strange behaviour seems no longer to occure (tested on GNOME on RC2). But
beagle seems not to search $HOME/Documents. If I copy a file to a new folder
$HOME/foo, it finds everything. If I copy or save the files in $HOME/Documents,
it doesn't find anything.

BTW: How do I activate beagle to search firefox web pages (I see no dog in ff)?

Comment 7 Martin Sommer 2005-09-13 10:27:56 UTC

After restart of beagled, it finds the files in Documents. But I don't get
beagle to work with Firefox. Under Tools -> Extensions beagle indexer is listed.

Comment 8 Joe Shaw 2005-09-13 15:42:18 UTC

The cp bug is definitely fixed, there was another bug open about that.

Comment 9 Joe Shaw 2005-09-14 18:38:54 UTC

I think we can close this?  The copy bug was fixed for RC2 (116240), and the
extension bug is open as 116787

Comment 10 JP Rosevear 2005-09-14 18:58:15 UTC

Agreed.
