[TYPO3-dam] Indexing and MM reference table

[J. Lingott]

Hey list,

when running an index check on the uploads directory, do those files get 
indexed (saved on tx_dam table) or is there something I need to set to 
get them in there (i.e. make them available for selection)?

Problem I have currently is when selecting images by reference from 
content elements, I don't get many of them (those which are not on 
tx_dam, just on file tracking table) and therefore the content is not 
displayed properly.

The site had a lot of existing images (~3500) which have to get indexed. 
Could be am just doing something wrong when trying to index them 
manually. To be honest didn't find a way to get a full index run 
applied, just the uploads folder checking. Maybe someone can give me a 
hint on how to index all those files properly for DAM.

Also the reference MM table is rather empty currently, when do entries 
get inserted there?

Cheers and best regards
