I understand. I am sorry if I sounded harsh, but probably I am a bit dense... I supposed that tracker was using the filter that I have in /usr/lib/tracker/filters/text/x-tex_filter which I posted above, which says that if there's no untex, the whole latex file was indexed [1]. But if tracker directly call untex you're right. > Im not sure I want to change that yet as indexing unfiltered files might > lead to garbage going into the index (that applies to all files that > need filtering and not just tex ones) That lead to the question I started the the thread with: why I had just 3 latex files indexed when grep found 24 occurrences? I see how that could have been 0 (no untex --- no index), but why the partial result? > Its likely therefore to remain as is (consider it a wont fix rather than > invalid if you wish) Fair enough, it's your call. I have installed untex and my laptop is re-indexing; will open another bug if the problem is still here, ok? Romano [1] BTW, maybe indexing the whole tex file is the right thing to do. In the end, a .tex file should be treated like a source code for any language, so sometime I'd like to make a search for that \darn macro... -- tracker inconsistecies with .tex files https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/225611 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
