With that it is possible to write a generic gui. Im going to implement live query stuff over XMAS and would like to use the Wasabi api - is it anywhere near complete/accepted?
The current __drafts__ are here: http://wiki.freedesktop.org/wiki/WasabiSearchSimple http://wiki.freedesktop.org/wiki/WasabiSearchLive I posed two questions in my last post to xdg. Could you please comment on them (preferably on xdg)? I'm thinking about this mail: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xdg/2006-December/008918.html - the two questions at the bottom. Depending on how people respond to those questions there is possible some changes in store for the live api... Cheers, Mikkel
