Description

Tracker shouldn't list system and config folders in Find window as it's confusing.

Why not? These are queryable like the other volumes.

IIRC we hide packagefs volumes in DiskUsage and some other places? In any case showing folders in All disks dropdown is confusing IMO.

In DiskUsage it doesn't make sense, because you can't compute the "usage" of a packagefs (it has no size or storage on its onw). But in queries I think it can make sense. You can list all files coming from a specific package, for example.

Replying to pulkomandy:

You can list all files coming from a specific package, for example.

How to do that?

comment:5 by pulkomandy, 5 years ago

I think something like SYS:PACKAGE=="*haiku*" (in a "by attribute" search) should work, but it doesn't seem to. Is packagefs not allowing to search this attribute?
