Description Will Stephenson 2010-03-27 09:08:53 UTC

Version:            (using Devel)
Installed from:    Compiled sources

As I understand it, on startup, Nepomuk has to scan all indexed directories for changes.  Having found changes, Nepomuk indexes them, using Strigi.  

To prevent uninformed cricicism that 'Nepomuk re-indexes the same files on startup', I suggest using a different tooltip during the directory scan so the user can learn that a brief scan is taking place which is distinct from the initial index creation.

During directory scan "Scanning for recent changes to files for desktop search"

While indexing files "Indexing [new|changed] files for desktop search".

Partly fixed in 4.9. It now shows the message "Scanning for recent changes". Still doesn't show the new/changed files for desktop search.

Moving to the appropriate component.

Removed the Nepomuk tray icon for 4.11. The indexing has better scheduling now, so it is no longer required.
