The mimetype for directories is inode/directory. But iirc, the filter for directory is not used. This is actually hard to do out of the box. There is some support for .myfile.xmp metadata files, which contain additional metadata for file 'myfile'. But even then I do not remember if that supports directories. The main idea is not that complicated - what makes it harder is pickin up changes if the metadata file is updated/deleted/created on the fly or the main file is removed and such things. If these are not an issue for you, e.g. you will only create the index once and the metadata files are well behaved then you can just read from the corresponding metadata file and fill up fields in beagled/FileSystemQueryable/FileSystemQueryable.cs:DirectoryToIndexable() - 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
