#6085: BFS index issue: Deskbar shelf items don't display after install/reboot. -------------------------------+------------------------------------------- Reporter: mr.Noisy | Owner: axeld Type: bug | Status: reopened Priority: blocker | Milestone: R1 Component: File | Version: R1/Development Systems/BFS | Keywords: shelf, settings, index, query Resolution: | Blocking: 6259, 6508 Blocked By: 5367 | Platform: All Has a Patch: 0 | -------------------------------+------------------------------------------- Comment (by umccullough): I think perhaps I'm starting to understand the underlying cause for this issue after speaking with Rene more about it. Here's what I suspect is going on: * Boot to USB stick in "Live" mode * First boot processing occurs, adding default replicants to deskbar (writing the attributes necessary for this) * Installing to fresh partition copies these attributes, but does not create the index * Rebooting to freshly installed partition causes Deskbar to create the missing index, but apparently this does not reindex the existing attributes (this seems like a major issue) * Reindexing fixes the problem by forcing the index to update with the existing replicants that were installed with their attributes intact from the USB stick. Does that make sense? What's the right solution here? I must admit, I'm starting to los a bit of respect for BFS in understanding these limitations and weaknesses :( -- Ticket URL: <http://dev.haiku-os.org/ticket/6085#comment:29> Haiku <http://dev.haiku-os.org> Haiku - the operating system.
