It would be nice if the specification would include object path and
optimally
D-Bus connection name where the interfaces are likely to be found.
Otherwise a potential search client has to introspect all D-Bus names and
all
object paths on each of them.
Yes, that was the plan, it is a small thing to define them though. Ideally I
think we should only define the interface name and dbus had a magic method
GetObjectForInterface("org.freedesktop.blah"), but as far as I know this is
not possible...
This leads me to a question I've been thinking about... Why is it not custom
to version your dbus interfaces? XML namespaces (typically) does that for
example. I was wondering whether to use org.freedesktop.wasabi.search.1 for
instance, not that I expect the api to change. But if we ever add api we
could define a .2 or something like that...
Cheers,
Mikkel
