Hi I've just discovered tracker recently, and am interested in how all the components work together.
Correct me where I get this wrong. I understand that tracker is run as a daemon, which starts up when the user logs in to the desktop. It reads the config files found in $HOME/.config/tracker and starts up the appropriate miners mentioned there. This is where I get confused. I understand the miners are standalone applications, which find data and writes this to the store. However how are the extractors invoked, and can they be written in anything other than C? Also What is the role of the tracker-writeback? The only mention I get so far is it writes back meta data to files. Which files, and how does it work? I appreciate any feedback anyone can give me on this. -- James Hurford [email protected] There are two ways of constructing a software design: one way is to make it so simple that there are obviously no deficiencies; the other is to make it so complicated that there are no obvious deficiencies. -- C.A.R.
