Re: [Tracker] Controlling tracker priority and settings on tracked files

[Richard Shephard <Richard Shephard altech-multimedia com>]

Thanks Martyn. We are in the process of moving the complete tree to a new release SDK, which will allow us to 
control the versions we want to use more closely. Unfortunately at the moment, the SDK provider has forced us 
on this version. It is good to know moving forward there are more improvements and options :)


Thanks.

O.10.x is quite old.

Sadly a lot of the performance improvements and things I mentioned in my
response are only available in 0.14.x.

I would highly suggest you upgrade if you can to take advantage of these
improvements.

As for a link, I don't think there is any help available currently. IT's
quite straight forward though, the rules files are processed in order
(like /etc/init.d/ files IIRC) and explain which mime types can be
handled by which modules. By omitting those from installations, you can
control which extracts are used and which are not.
