Cool! > I assume that you use the metadata storage capabilities of Tracker too. Yes and no. We currently do a very light indexing on our own, more or less just scanning your homedir and inserting the files into the database. We then store stuff like labels and if a file is starred or not in the same database. It was for a very long time the plan that we would just use tracker for doing all of this, but we got to a point where we wanted to release something and we wanted it to work for people out of the box (meaning tracker 0.6.3) that we had to roll our own metata storage. Another reason is that we have a long time plan of porting Nemo to other operating systems and there we can reuse the metadata storage and just use the native desktop search engine, be it spotlight, google desktop search or whatever. And sadly the closed source world will probably be slower at adopting Xesam so we would have to do something like what we have done for them anyway :-) > This means that Xesam 1.0 will not fullfill all your needs (eg tagging), but > we > will be pusing towards the metadata management part of Xesam shortly after > 1.0.

Yeah, getting the first release out is always hard, there's just so much you want to do :-) -- Anders Rune Jensen http://people.iola.dk/anders/ _______________________________________________ tracker-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/tracker-list
