When a new file is created/downloaded then the database is updated. The difficulty arises with things like SD cards. When an application wants to load a file, it interrogates the database to find it's location, with the MIME type dictating which app *should* load it. > Of course a lot can be done with tags and semantic stuff (where did > the file come from, what app made it), Wouldn't the MIME type take care of that, in the way a server does? _______________________________________________ SailfishOS.org Devel mailing list
