Subject: notmuch reindex wipes existing tags
Date: Mon, 04 May 2020 10:25:50 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1588577150-ner-4.226@TPL520> (raw)
Hello,
I setup notmuch for my dad specifically for mass-extracting
pdf newspapers he receives.
When the pdf was stored successfully the message gets the
tag attachments-extracted added.
Today I wanted to go further and make use of afew specifically
for mail moving to free up space on the IMAP server.
I initially ignored the List-Id feature but now wanted to make
use of it. Configured notmuch appropriately, configured afew.
Ran notmuch reindex.
And now all custom tags were wiped, especially attachments-extracted.
I now can't see if the pdf of a certain message was already saved.
This is 3 years of 5 newspapers a weak. I must delete the files
and re-extract them.
I did not expect that, especially after reading the man page
which doesn't warn about resetting tags.
So here my question:
Is this a bug or a feature?
Regards
Franz
