Re: [Tracker] Urgent - Suggestions for new major functionality - Project

[kunaal jain <kunaalus gmail com>]

I couldn't find reference to per-app databases. What exactly it is? Why do we need it?

Regarding the shifting, making new repos, repacking of codes and all, I think you guys should decide onto something, as the discussion was argumentative. I can help in implementation, but decision making is all yours.

Also I found discussion about storing xattr and tags of files. But in tracker we already have tagging. What is it then?

I am sorry if I sound stupid, I am new to tracker as a developer. Much ground to cover.

Hi Kunaal Jain,

We discussed some interesting ideas in September last year on this
mailing list under the subject, The utopian idea, Tracker as it should be.

https://mail.gnome.org/archives/tracker-list/2014-September/msg00030.html

The discussion was also about making it possible to have per-app
databases, among other ideas.

Mind that Tracker is being used a lot by embedded appliances, not just
on the GNOME desktop.

ps. These ideas are not outdated.

Kind regards,

Philip
