Perhaps it is just me or the way how SQLite was used so far in Evolution, but given the past experience with folders.db, I also have doubts about the reliability of such a metadata.db. I'd prefer a standard format that can be access by other tools. But you are right, in general separating the different kinds of data into different physical files is certainly an improvement over the current situation. -- Bye, Patrick Ohly -- patrick.o...@gmx.de http://www.estamos.de/ _______________________________________________ Evolution-hackers mailing list Evolution-hackers@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-hackers
