Hi Olivier, I think the general idea to is a good one. Some comments: $ diff -ibw /home/user/.config/tracker/tracker.cfg-default /home/user/.config/tracker/tracker.cfg : > 8c8 > < LowMemoryMode=false > --- >> LowMemoryMode=true Did you measure any noticeable difference when using LowMemoryMode=true?

I've been using 10 and never ever notice that tracker is running in the background. > 28c28 > < EnableFileContentIndexing=true > --- >> EnableFileContentIndexing=false Hm, I don't think this would be a good idea. People installing tracker (remember, we don't install it by default) rightfully expect tracker to index all their documents, including its content. > 30c30 > < EnableThumbnails=true > --- >> EnableThumbnails=false That shouldn't really make a difference. > 33c33 > < DisabledModules= > --- >> DisabledModules=evolution; I'd be ok with that. Disabling evolution mail indexing by default is probably a good idea. > 70c70 > < IndexMountedDirectories=true > --- >> IndexMountedDirectories=false > 72c72 > < IndexRemovableMedia=true > --- >> IndexRemovableMedia=false I'd rather keep those set to true. > This would ensure the user is not bothered too much unless asking so. In a way, the user asked so explicitly by installing the tracker package, so I don't want to disable too much of it's functionality. Making tracker less invasive (e.g. Throttle = 10) is fine with me though.
