Re: [Tracker] Metadata search Tracker Gnome

[John Bestevaar <Josephus people net au>]

Hi Adrian
Aaah......Thanks for the enlightenment. Stopped barking now. :-!
But..... still left with my Tracker Gui not finding my Image(qpw.jpg) 
when i put my XMP metadata text(Beaudesert)to search for in the search box.
Where could i look for a way to fix this? :-P
Cheers JohnB :-)
