Let the beagle track down those files."<br /><br />Whenever they select a search folder and their personal files have not been fully indexed (probably only once), then inform them that the first time this is run it might take a bit longer to index all their personal files. Although I'd be tempted to run the indexing over a few nights before you make it available to users if possible - first impresssions last and if the first search takes 2 minutes then they'll never use it again.<br /><br />Also, I'd put the descriptions above the paths on each button:<br />++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++<br />+ File in your personal folder +<br />+ /users/teachers +<br />++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++<br /><br />++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++<br />+ Department files +<br />+ /users/largo/it +<br />++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++<br /><br />Hope this helps.forbeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10437099935699153982noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29399536.post-12537790165529105582011-02-04T11:52:39.408-05:002011-02-04T11:52:39.408-05:00pbrobinson: Yup, as far as I know, tracker doesn&#...pbrobinson: Yup, as far as I know, tracker doesn't allow you to scan a file system for new files once and then halt and write out a static database. I don't need it to continue to monitor the file system over and over again.Dave Richardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06403055794363134691noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29399536.post-57714421520736593902011-02-04T11:20:23.258-05:002011-02-04T11:20:23.258-05:00have you looked at tracker to replace beagle as it...have you looked at tracker to replace beagle as its basically dead upstream.
