Looking through the DBUS introspection at http://svn.gnome.org/svn/tracker/trunk/data/tracker-introspect.xml, I do not see a mechanism for notification of new files? Is the expectation that the app has to re-initiate all of it's searches each time a new IndexingFinished signal is caught? For example... a photo app is viewing a UI displaying all photos from Christmas 2006 (i.e. search for all objects with Image:Date in a given range) that are tagged with "Family" and "Snow" (i.e. with User:Keyword containing "Family" or "Snow"), while at the same time some new photo's show up. It would be nice if there was some mechanism to have an outstanding query returning new results on new found data. --rusty _______________________________________________ dev mailing list [email protected] https://www.moblin.org/mailman/listinfo/dev
