You *can* request it to do an in-depth libmagic-like analysis though, but this isnt the default because its much more time consuming (imagine Nautilus doeing a type check on a dir with 5000+ files using gnome-vfs and libmagic...)

AFAIK varadahan already started working on an Xchat indexer, I intended to create an irssi parser once he got his IrcLogQueryable interface or whatsoever done, I dunno about the status of this... > Thanks, > Joe Ikke http://www.eikke.com _______________________________________________ Dashboard-hackers mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/dashboard-hackers
