However, they seem to be indexed into the "Other" service. So my next question is how do I add new mime types to the "Development" service. Again I've noticed that in the file: /usr/share/tracker/services/default.service seems to contain information about how different services are indexed and which mime-types correspond to each service. So tried the simple approach of adding text/x-matlab to the development section of this file -- but this seemed to have *no* effect. Is this to be expected?
I then tried searching through the source code (for 0.6.3) for where the "real" mime -> service mapping is stored and found another mime->Development service mapping in the file src/trackerd/tracker-metadata.c This mapping seems to be hard-coded in this file. So is this how the mime -> service mapping is achieved rather than through a configuration file? And more directly for my problem, do I just add text/x-matlab to the development_mime_types array and re-build to add this type to the service mapping?
