Hello,

Is it possible to have tracker automatically read additional metadata
from a second file? For example, if tracker indexes testfile.odt, I want
it to automatically read metadata about testfile.odt from
testfile.odt.xml (or some other suitable format).


The format for this is called XMP. You can store a so-called sidekick
XMP file next to the file. Tracker will pick those up when done
correctly.

You can also embed XMP data in most file formats (which is preferable).

Cheers,

Philip
