Maybe I've missed something here, but how does the file manager lookup the .emblem file for a given keyword? Does the file manager really have to load all .emblem files first? If yes, I'd strongly suggest to drop the Keyword key and use an "emblem-id" instead, similar to the "desktop-id". > John Benedikt _______________________________________________ xdg mailing list [email protected] http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xdg
