I think when troubleshooting, you get a view of problems from the "outside, in"
and that comes with a fair amount of guesswork and assumptions. If you know the
code, you see things from the "inside, out".

That's two different ways of "knowing" - it's a question of getting them to
meet in the middle.

That's quite clear.

In this instance though I create a test file, that triggers an iNotify, and
baloo indexes it - without the parent directory being in the index (with the
right DocID anyway).

Yes. I've seen, with inotifywait, some of the holes you can fall into (for
example when a move is done with a "link/unlink") and can see that you could
get synchronisation issues. 

I am pretty sure that is not happening here though. For what it is worth, I did
the tests with and without content indexing enabled.

The thread has drifted, apologies for that. I think I posted to the wrong
thread to start with.
