[Tracker] Fwd: tracker-extract and log file

["Mildred Ki'Lya" <mildred593+ml tracker gmail com>]

Hi,

If you remember me, I was there a while ago because I wanted to write
an indexer for mbox files. I now switched to using the GMime library
and I hope sometime in my free time to contribute here. I needed to
generate a GMime vapi file and approximately 100 lines of vala glue
code.

I have now a problem. Apparently, tracker-extract fail on some files,
and I find it very difficult to get log information about the errors.
let me describe the program flow:

- first, tracker-control starts tracker-miner-fs
- then, tracker-miner-fs browse the directories and ask
tracker-extract (via dBus) to index some files
- tracker-extract is started, overwriting the old tracker-extract.log file

now:

- tracker-extract fail on some file, it stops
- tracker-miner-fs skips this file (I suppose) and continue on to the next file
- on the next file, tracker-miner-fs calls tracker-extract
- tracker-extract starts and overwrite the tracker-extract.log file
containing precious information about the error

is it possible to have a configuration option for all tracker
executables that would append to the existing log file instead of
overwriting it?

Thanks,

Mildred
