Re: [Tracker] tracker & nautilus integration += metatags

[Ivan Frade <ivan frade nokia com>]

Hi, yelo_3

 There is no method "get_all_metadata (const gchar *uri)" in the API.
Maybe we can consider to add it for next versions.
 
 You can use:

<method name="Get">
        <arg type="s" name="service" direction="in" />
        <arg type="s" name="id" direction="in" />
        <arg type="as" name="keys" direction="in" />
        <arg type="as" name="values" direction="out" />
</method>

 where:

* "service" is the type of the file ("Music", "Video",...) 
* "id" is the uri
* "keys" is an array of properties to ask.

 for example:

tracker.Get ("Music", "/home/yelo3/music/u2_one.mp3", ["Audio.Artist",
"Audio.Title"])

 will return:

["u2", "one"]

Regards,

Ivan
