I love the Unity dash and lenses, but it only finds files that are under /home/mylogin
I would like it to find files that are under /media/MyWindowsDrive/Users/MyWinLogin
I tried creating a link to the Music, Pictures and Video folders on my Windows driver and putting the link in the corresponding folders in /home/mylogin , but this doesn't cause Ubuntu (the dash) to index and find these files.
Is this possible?
You can perhaps index the files on a different drive using tracker-gui .
Install it using the following command:
After installing it, open it and go to Locations tab. Click on the + button and add whichever drive or specific directory that you want to index.
It goes without saying that the drive has to be mounted already to be able to be indexed.
