thanks for your reply and your offer to help :) I think the implementation is straight forward and shouldn´t really be difficult, in fact most of the code is already there :) But still there are problems. I´ll quickly outline what I´m trying to do: I want to write an indexer module for Tracker which can read the Tomboy xml file format. This format is also used by my application. Those xml files are quiet simple. They contain several (for Tracker) interesting things like: - Title - Content - Tags - Last change date So the indexer module should watch the directory where those notes are stored and whenever something changes, the indexer should parse those files and put the information into tracker. Then I hope a user can open some kind of Fremantle-Universal-Search window and type for example "Beatles". As a result the user might get a list of some songs performed by The Beatles plus two note where he was using the world "Beatles" in the title, content or as a tag. Pretty standard so far :) Now I´m basically having two problems right now: 1) I cannot find a packages which ships the required headers [1] 2) The categories like "Emails", "Images", "Videos" are hard coded into libtracker but I would like to have a category "Notes". Now, this is only a problem if the Fremantle search tool will use libtracker. If it instead uses only D-Bus to access tracker it is not a problem [2]. So if you could give me any information about this it would be great, because then I would know whether or not I should open a bug/enhancement request for the new category like discussed on the tracker mailing list [2]. > And yes the bugzilla is the right place. There is already a bug from > you, so I guess I'm too late ;) Thanks for the clarification! I opened this bug, but as no one answered I thought it might be the wrong place. Now Andree answered and I´ll try to give him the needed information. Well, long post, but I hope you see what I´m trying to achieve. So if you have any further advice, please let me know :) Especially information whether or not the Fremantle search tool is using libtracker would great! Thanks!
