Tracker3 add directory to indexing

Hello everyone.

I have a problem with tracker3. I’ve added a new path to search outside of the $HOME directory.
I did it by modifying the entries:
org.freedesktop.Tracker.Miner.Files
org.freedesktop.Tracker3.Miner.Files

My modification:
[‘& DESKTOP’, ‘& DOCUMENTS’, ‘& MUSIC’, ‘& PICTURES’, ‘& VIDEOS’, ‘/ADATA_CRYPT’]

It looks like it is working because the USB drive was working hard, tracker3 processes appeared and:

status tracker3
Currently indexed: 10,118 files, 467 directories
Remaining space on database partition: 4.4GB (82.28%)
All data searches are idle, indexing is complete
2 recorded failures
[…]

However, the shell sees nothing when it asks for a file.
Only files in the $HOME directory appear.

Why can’t the shell see files in /ADATA_CRYPT?

just a wild guess:

are you sure your modifications are “sharp” without logoff/-on.

P.S.
I currently don’t know if logoff/-on is really needed here, but maybe give it a try …
