Re: [Tracker] Tracker's GUI in C

["Samuel Cormier-Iijima" <sciyoshi gmail com>]

The RDF paned UI would probably need additions to the DBus interface?
Something like GetTagsForQuery which would get all the tags over the
results of a query? I don't know... Anyways, something else that might
be cool would be completion support, i.e. GetCompletions('tra'), which
would give a list of the tags that start with that ('tracker',
'trampoline', 'trapezoid', 'tralala') sorted by most tagged :-). That
would be pretty cool for a responsive UI, but I don't know enough
about SQL to see if that would be too hard.
