While checking something with dconf watch I saw the following path pop up again and again:
/org/freedesktop/tracker/miner/files/index-recursive-directories
However, when I try to navigate to the /org directory, I am told that it doesn't exist. In my root folder there is no such file or directory. I am sure there is some basic thing here that I am not understanding, but what/where is this directory? Thank you!
Yes, it is a path but not regular one. It's in Dconf databases (either user one or system common one)
$ file ~/.config/dconf/user
/home/user/.config/dconf/user: GVariant Database file, version 0
$ file /etc/dconf/db/gdm
/etc/dconf/db/gdm: GVariant Database file, version 0
You may use dconf-editor which is GUI tool to manipulate user dconf setting. See Shouldn't dconf-editor and gsettings access the same database?, it may help get basic understanding of dconf.
This is not a filesystem path but a dconf path. It specifies a directory within the dconf database and is not related to any file or directory in your file system.
