Restart Tracker from Sailfish Utilities doesn't work as expected (any more)
When I had problems with photos not showing up in the gallery (see https://together.jolla.com/question/82771/photos-not-showing-up-in-gallery-app/ ), I first tried to solve them by using the Sailfish utilities in system settings and re-start tracker from there. This was a good was in the past to handle such issues.
It didn't change a thing.
Only good old tracker-control -krs from the command line fixed the problem.
Out of curiosity I tried both ways a second time and watched the gallery right afterwards:
After entering tracker-control -krs, it behaved as expected: All pictures disappeared, counters were set to 0, and then I could watch as they re-appeared in the gallery again.
When I tried to delete and re-build the tracker database from the Utilities section, nothing happened at all. All images remained in the gallery, there was no evidence of tracker re-building its database in the background. (Just as before when using this tool wouldn't bring back lost photos, but tracker-control -krs would.)
Something's fishy here.
