Beagle is supposed to automatically delete them. When beagle is not running, there should not be any tmp*.tmp files in the /tmp directory. Those can be safely deleted when beagle is not running. In fact, if there are tmp files then its is a serious BUG. > 2.

The textcache is used to provide snippets in beagle-search. There is an open bug in bugzilla about disabling textcache; note that without textcache there would not be any snippets. > 3.

Its being actively worked on. From what I know, there would not be any user setting to limit the memory but the performance in terms of memory amd CPU usage will improve. The goal is to make beagled imperceivable. - dBera -- ----------------------------------------------------- Debajyoti Bera @ http://dtecht.blogspot.com beagle / KDE fan Mandriva / Inspiron-1100 user _______________________________________________ Dashboard-hackers mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/dashboard-hackers
