I is not a mystery, all my current attention to tracker connected with
this topic. Even posted FAT16 bug.

I described it in my document. Info you get from dcim to group files and
nut just blind show or copy that.

yes

Anyway, if tracker will index attached removable storage, why not just
let im do it? I will need this info any way. 

Before import we can just call file list function in solang with limited
UI and pass search option (like 'urn:nepomuk:datasource:2018-341A') to
show only files on cam. 

If files need to be downloaded, we will just download it and replace
URLs (..ontologies/2007/01/19/nie#url) in tracker.

So i still need the answer, haw can i be sure if tracker did what he
actually should do? indexed removable media. And if not, haw can i fore
tracker to do it?
