Comment 3 for bug 230876

The problem is even if there was enough disk space, this is causing a lot of disk activity and filling the disk up.

Could msword_filter check if the file is really a word document before copying?
At the moment it copies an arbitrary file just because it has a *.doc filename.

It was not very obvious what was actually going on.
I unmount my truecrypt volume and watch disk space beeing eaten away for no apparent reason. Computer gets slower and slower in the process. Of course I suspected truecrypt to be the problem.
I was suprised to find tracker running, I had disabled it in System->Preferences->Sessions. Buts thats a different story:
