I agree. And you might also want to talk to Ubuntu, as the latest
stable release in their repo is 0.6.95!
Also I am confused now as to which is the latest from Tracker, because
on the project page, 0.12.7 is available, while in the E-Mail you sent
today (see attached below), you are announcing 0.10.34.
Including 0.9.5., that makes 4 different versions of Tracker I've come
across as an Ubuntu user trying to get Tracker installed ;-D

Before I had 0.6.95, which is the version currently available in the
default Ubuntu repos. It never started doing anything at all, there
was no indexing and no search tool, and definitely no UI for tagging.
I found a thread in Ubuntuforums which recommended the 0.9.5 release
from the unstable repo. It was only *after* that upgrade that the
tagging utility first showed up, so no, it did not disappear from the
upgrade. My previous version did not have it. I still haven't been
able to determine *what* made it disappear, but it wasn't the upgrade.

I tried to use tracker-tag, but I couldn't wrap my head around it.
However, the UI way seems so much faster and more convenient for me,
as it eliminates the need to type filenames and re-type tags already
in use.

So maybe in my current install (0.9.5), there's something wrong with
either the plugin or the file manager. The search tool is there,
indexing works, settings panel too - only the tagging utility comes
and goes. However, Bodhi Linux has PCmanFM as a file manager, not
Nautilus. Maybe that is what causes the problem?

The tagging plugin was not present (or not visible) before the
upgrade, so that wasn't what made it disappear.
I am now trying to get the latest release of Tracker installed (0.12?
0.10.?) and hope that will solve the issue. Is there maybe a .deb file
somewhere around? That would be just great!
I tried to compile Tracker 0.12 from source, but I have unmet
dependencies on my system: it requires glib 2.28, which won't compile
on my machine either. Maybe an earlier version of Tracker will work
with glib 2.27?

Thanks a lot!
