   I couldn't agree more. So here is my plan: I will go with all
plugin[1]  external approach using the new D-Bus spec[2] . This will
mean SLOW (its already very slow with my queries that has lots of
optionals) tracker backend but I leave that for tracker guys to solve.
They can either do what you asked for above or they can implement this
D-Bus interface directly.

  Actually this issue is partly solved. I made sure that tracker guys
have the right ontology <caugh>..metadata keys for this. However,
there is  currently no UI for user to be able to mark media to be
exported.
