The idea here is the same as with the previous patch. Ideally I would like all configuration to be placed in dconf.

I would like a non-root user to be able to modify her ontologies, and configure Tracker to use these. -- Regards, Jonatan Pålsson Pelagicore AB Ekelundsgatan 4, 6th floor, SE-411 18 Gothenburg, Sweden _______________________________________________ tracker-list mailing list tracker-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/tracker-list
