Use cases that I can see would be allowing programs like "Beagle" to provide
virtual folders as a plubin, which would contain running [saved] queries, or to
allow navigation within a tarball, or maybe some sort of "directory unifier"
plugin, to allow displaying all document directories across the computer as
one directory, and many other interesting uses.
If that can be acomplished, I would be happy puppy. As a long time BeOS user, since r4, I keep looking for BeOS' Tracker features in any Linux filer, but with no luck. Live queries was the strongest point of using BeOS. Tracker was so good that some new features found in new Nautilus were taken from it. It would be great if someone who is working on Thunar to install BeOS Personal Edition and try it, I'm certain it would bring some interesting UI ideas. Tracker and BeOs in general are similar in their goals like Thunar and XFce4, IMHO. Clean, simple but powerfull, without bloat, but nice to the eye.
Unfortunately, I found beagle to be awefully slow on older hardware (my old dual Celly), like any mono app.
