BTW, are you sure you attached the right picture ? I could not reproduce the problem. Could you verify by running beagle-extract-content on the file ? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Maybe having similar stuff for beagle indexer is a good idea? Just my 1 Won (which amounts to .1 cents). -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

The best way would be to implement a good middle ground - using safeguards but making problem reporting mostly automatic. beagle being something running in the background automatically, I think making it robust against such failures is worth the trouble but yeap getting it right will take time & effort.
