Is there a way to force refresh the tracker of the phone?

Just download some images from dropbox with sailbox, and they don't show in the gallery app

If you mean from the UI then there is AFAIK no possibility to kick tracker.

If you are a power user and have the developer mode enabled, then tracker-control is your friend. See tracker-control --help-miners resp. tracker-control --help for available options.

Thanks, that is what I was looking for. Unfortunately it don't help me with my issue. I think the tracker do not track the dropbox folder, and I don't know or want to change the standard settings, so a workaround is creating a soft link to Download directory

check out /usr/bin/tracker-sd-indexing.sh if you feel comfortable to mess with gconf settings :-)

File is now at /usr/lib/oneshot.d/tracker-sd-indexing.sh. See also here.

Sailfish utilities from the Jolla Store does that nicely at the GUI (by using its bottom-most function).

Workaround: erase (as root) all files in /home/nemo/.cache/tracker/ then reboot.

no need to be root to delete contents of tracker, as the folder resides in /home/nemo/ so permissions are not required.
