2 things come to mind: - Tracker shouldn't need to use D-Bus to access its database read-only: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=613255 - The way you currently use Tracker means that there's no way to differentiate between videos that I want indexed and searchable, and the ones that I want to export. This is a privacy problem and could be solved by making applications provide their catalogues instead (which could be powered by Tracker). _______________________________________________ desktop-devel-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
