I was looking for that just the other day. You could possibly write a tracker-writeback module to do this and allow writeback for tags. Perhaps Philip/Carlos can comment further on this since they wrote most of that daemon. -- Regards, Martyn Founder and CEO of Lanedo GmbH. ___ tracker-list mailing list tracker-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/tracker-list

Are these tags saved as properties of the file (i.e. in the metadata), or are they kept in a separate location? I ask this because: If I transfer a copy of a file tagged by Tracker to another computer, will the tags remain available for indexing to Tracker (or any other search engine, if present, respectively) on that other computer?
