Fikle searc engine bug?

Post by 3phase » Wed Mar 10, 2010 1:25 pm

i just stumbled again over the ableton search engine for missing files.. and i know from the past that it appeared as pretty blind..

maybe i just have realized why... but maybe that is a bug or just ableton style ???

maybe just miss a piece of information how to use it propperly ?

following scenario.. file missing.. click on the info opens missing media file window...

i start auto search.. the very quck "nothing" respomse reminds me that i ve to show the search engine the folder where the file is in..

thanks god i know the folder and i select it..start search again...


And now it happens... i´ve the folder window open and can watch how live is searching.. i see the file .. its the 15´ns item from the top..but some folders are there before.. so live dont checks for the name instead it starts with the first file..

a folder called AKAI samples.. 2 gigabyte...

half an hour later after finising all folders within the folder that have names with letters prior to my filename it arrives on the missing file...
:?

is this normal behavior that the search engine looks in any folder instead searching the root folder first?

or is that a bug of the actual beta?
