Query does not return any files (AUDIO)

[martinhpedersen]

When copying my music collection over from an "old" harddrive to a freshly formated, I can't query for the files anymore.

I can search on the old harddrive, but on the fresh one.. i get zero files in return.

Even tested downloading a new mp3 file to the harddrive. Added attributes with ArmyKnife, no result from query. Moved the file to the "old" partition, doing the exact same query gives me the file on that drive.

Tested on multiple builds, computers and discs.

Doing queries on "old" (left) and new (right) partitions with same content.

Just realised the Audio:* attr was not indexed on my new partitions. After mkindex'ing all the attrbutes I see the result I was expecting.

Shouldn't these attributes be indexed by default?

There are arguments both for and against that ; the problem is, each additional index you add also incurs extra performance overhead for some filesystem ops, so it's not necessarily advisable to automatically add an index for every single attribute a user might ever possibly want to query for.

[martinhpedersen]

I can understand why we don't want too many indices, but I thought audio was one of the things most people would query for. But, clearly not a bug then, so this ticket should probably be closed :)
