Comment 33 for bug 646724

So, who's up to writing a script that "touches" each file in a desired directory? :-P this, as well as my comment #29, would neatly circumvent this problem, no?
Also, what exactly does "touching" mean? I can neatly touch all files on my harddisk if I let baobab (the disk usage analyzer) run over it, but that won't work, will it? What would the cheapest (performance-wise) application be to do this?

btw, Seif, are you sure about this location limitation for tracker? It's been a while since I last used it, but I seem to remember that I could add user-chosen locations with one visit to preferences, to be indexed by tracker.
