its not a physical file system and does not really do anything that tracker does not It uses FUSE to expose a user space filesystem in the same way that tracker uses trackerdFS and beagle uses BeagleFS Its similiar to tracker but written in C++ and so uses different technologies. I expect it to be much heavier than tracker though as its using Postgres and not Sqlite like tracker. Also no Dbus and no C bindings so its not really feaible for Gnome or XFCE at the moment. I dont think there is any integration with any gnome stuff (Deskbar or Nautilus) Also seems to lack RDF ability for the metadata but otherwise is pretty close to tracker in both scope and target audience (IE its not just a dedicated indexer like Beagle or Strigii and like tracker closely couples DB and Indexer). -- Mr Jamie McCracken http://jamiemcc.livejournal.com/ _______________________________________________ tracker-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/tracker-list
