How does the indexer handle removed data

Our current setup has an “incoming” file directory we would like to expose via Orthanc. After some time a background process migrates data in the incoming directory to long-term storage, so it would no longer be present in indexer monitored directory. Will that data be removed from the index?

Hello,

Yes, the folder indexer plugin periodically checks the indexed folder for added or removed files. In the source code, the removal of files is handled in the LookupDeletedFiles() method.

Kind Regards,
Sébastien-
