tracker only stores data for removable devices for a limited time and makes "search" and "starred" options not useful for 2nd hdd storage
When using 2nd hdd for storage, found the following issue: Tracker only stores its data for removable devices for a limited time, 3 days by default. User can change that using gsettings to set org.freedesktop.Tracker.Miner.Files removable-days-threshold 0
, but i find it's too complicated to set to average user (took me some time and two reddit posts to get it). This makes the starred items option quite useful with this type of storage...
I would suggest, if possible, to make this setting optional for people who use 2nd HDD as storage, 'cause it's "removable", ok, but kind of permanent since it is not an external drive... Even if we, as users, can point "Search" into bookmarks in that drives, it's kind of contradictory to erase that info stored every 3 days... Well, maybe not the info stored, but the starred thing... Thanks in advance for your work
