Well, thank you for your suggestion but I don't really think I will be able in the future to maintain it... And since tracker itself contains other nautilus extensions, I thought that (after a big long test) it could be great if also the metadata extension would be added in the official package.
Oh, and I forgot to tell you that the test I did wasn't so much useful since I have the problem that the function tracker_metadata_get() hardly ever returns valid metadata: always empty strings even if the file is watched by tracker (I think this is a bug) bye On Thu, Jul 24, 2008 at 11:42 AM, Ivan Frade <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi Yelo, > > Thank you for the work.
