yes we can do that - I also think if we make it as unobtrusive as possible (even if it slows the rate of indexing quite a bit) then it should be more acceptable. we already have a --turbo command line option for doing indexing as fast as possible for those that want that so maybe the default mode can just spend more time sleeping and only intermittently index at a leisurely pace. This should make it more comfortable to work with especially if you have a noisy hard disk or noisy cpu fans. anyway thanks for your thoughts... -- Mr Jamie McCracken http://jamiemcc.livejournal.com/ _______________________________________________ desktop-devel-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
