I may have another issue. When I do File | Index Files and Folders the PNG files are not being caught by the Smart Rule above. However when I copy in the same PNG files (renamed) using Finder the rule is triggered and files marked as Locked. Will confirm in report.
Indexed of folders (File | Index Files and Folders) done at top-level directly directly under the Database. This was always successful - expected files were added to DT UI and the Lock Indexed Files smart rule successfully applied.
Created a new test folder ‘BugReport’ which has only TWO files: PNG.png (smart rule pic) and TXT.txt (just a MD5 hash). The FOUR files copied via Finder are renamed duplicates of these and also a new TXT and PNG file.
After every test cycle:
– DT | File Move To Trash and Empty Trash (Only in DB)
– Deleted BugReport folder in Finder
I tried Update Indexed Items whenever the DT became out-of-sync but it had no effect.
Test Steps:
Index BugReport test folder and copy files using Finder into that folder:
a. do all files show up in DT?
b. does smart rules fire for all files?
Results: For reference, using existing Database-1 and Downloads folder:
[1] Downloads/BugReport
a: Y
b: N, 2 triggers for TXT files but none for PNG files
[2] Downloads/BugReport >> repeat of [1]
a: N, no new files show
b: N, 2 triggers for TXT files but none for PNG files
[3] Downloads/BugReportXXX >> renamed test folder
a: Y
b: N, 2 triggers for TXT files but none for PNG files
[4] Downloads/BugReportXXX. >> repeat of [3]
a: N, no new files show
b: N, 2 triggers for PNG but not for TXT files (unusual flip in triggering)
Using new empty Database and new TMP folder (/Users//TMP):
[5] TMP/BugReport
a: Y
b: N, 2 triggers for TXT files but none for PNG files
[6] TMP/BugReport >> repeat of [5]
a: N, no new files show
b: N, 2 triggers for TXT files but none for PNG files
[7] TMP/BugReportXXX >> renamed test folder
a: Y
b: N, 2 triggers for TXT files but none for PNG files
[8] TMP/BugReportXXX >> repeat of [7]
a: N, no new files show
b: N, 2 triggers for TXT files but none for PNG files
I was able to reproduce the issue, it’s caused by the smart rule’s alert which blocks the actions of images indexed/imported in the background. The next release will fix this.
