tracker-miner-fs.cfg(5) Tracker Manual tracker-miner-fs.cfg(5)NAMEtracker-miner-fs.cfgSYNOPSIS
$HOME/.config/tracker/tracker-miner-fs.cfg
DESCRIPTION
Tracker's configuration is built on top of GSettings, part of GLib.
This means that there is a proper schema for configurations and they
can be viewed (normally) using the dconf-editor tool.
Tracker also allows switching from the GSettings database, used by most
(cross) desktop applications, to a key/value formatted files (like Mi‐
crosoft's INI format). To do this, the environment variable
TRACKER_USE_CONFIG_FILES must be defined before running the application
using that configuration.
So where is this configuration? Well, normally they're stored in
$HOME/.config/tracker/, however, default values are not stored to con‐
fig files, only different values are. This man page describes what keys
and values can be used.
See EXAMPLES for a general overview.
OPTIONS
verbosity='errors'
Log verbosity.
initial-sleep=15
Initial sleep time, in seconds.
Values range from 0 to 1000.
sched-idle='first-index'
The scheduler is the kernel component that decides which runnable application will be executed by the CPU next. Each application has an associated scheduling policy and priority.
throttle=0
Indexing speed, the higher the slower.
Values range from 0 to 20.
low-disk-space-limit=-1
Disk space threshold in percent at which to pause indexing, or -1 to disable.
Values range from -1 to 100.
crawling-interval=-1
Interval in days to check whether the filesystem is up to date in the database. 0 forces crawling anytime, -1 forces it only after unclean shutdowns, and -2 disables it entirely.
Values range from -2 to 365.
removable-days-threshold=3
Threshold in days after which files from removables devices will be removed from database if not mounted. 0 means never, maximum is 365.
Values range from 0 to 365.
enable-monitors=true
Set to false to completely disable any file monitoring
enable-writeback=true
Set to false to completely disable any file writeback
index-removable-devices=false
Set to true to enable indexing mounted directories for removable devices.
index-optical-discs=false
Set to true to enable indexing CDs, DVDs, and generally optical media (if removable devices are not indexed, optical discs won't be either)
index-on-battery=true
Set to true to index while running on battery
index-on-battery-first-time=true
Set to true to index while running on battery for the first time only
index-recursive-directories='&DESKTOP','&DOCUMENTS','&DOWN‐
LOAD','&MUSIC','&PICTURES','&VIDEOS'
List of directories to index recursively, Special values include: &DESKTOP, &DOCUMENTS, &DOWNLOAD, &MUSIC, &PICTURES, &PUBLIC_SHARE, &TEMPLATES, &VIDEOS. See /etc/xdg/user-dirs.defaults and $HOME/.config/user-dirs.default
index-single-directories='$HOME'
List of directories to index without inspecting subfolders, Special values include: &DESKTOP, &DOCUMENTS, &DOWNLOAD, &MUSIC, &PICTURES, &PUBLIC_SHARE, &TEMPLATES, &VIDEOS. See /etc/xdg/user-dirs.defaults and $HOME/.config/user-dirs.default

ftest','confstat','Makefile','SCCS','ltmain.sh','libtool','config.sta‐
tus','confdefs.h','configure'
List of file patterns to avoid
ignored-directories='po','CVS','core-dumps','lost+found'
List of directories to avoid
ignored-directories-with-content='.trackerignore'
Avoid any directory containing a file blacklisted here
EXAMPLES
The top level group is "General". The default configuration (if saved
to tracker-miner-fs.cfg), would look like:
[General]
verbosity='errors';
initial-sleep=15;
sched-idle='first-index';
throttle=0;
low-disk-space-limit=-1;
crawling-interval=-1;
removable-days-threshold=3;
enable-monitors=true;
enable-writeback=true;
index-removable-devices=false;
index-optical-discs=false;
index-on-battery=true;
index-on-battery-first-time=true;
index-recursive-directories='&DESKTOP','&DOCUMENTS','&DOWNLOAD','&MUSIC','&PICTURES','&VIDEOS';
index-single-directories='$HOME';
