My gut feeling is that as we move forward, geotag type information really belongs with the file information. e.g. I would love to have the ability to stat a file to find out the geolocation where a file was created as well as the time that the file was created. Of course, that is a very big change right down at the OS level, so until file systems change to include something like geolocation of creation, Till's approach sounds pretty interesting.

If the tracker really already has basic geotagging support, then i think it's the only acceptable solution to use it, even if this is currently limited to images only. This sounds like a classic chicken/egg problem and as long as only the image viewer supports geotagging, noone will bother to extend the tracker for other formats. So if tracker can provide geotagging info i'd be more than willing to use that. Perhaps e.g. the maemo-recorder guys can be convinced to tag their files and this might in turn cause someone to extend the tracker functionality to support geotags in sound files ... I really REALLY think tracker is the only useful way to deal with geotags especially in a mobile device where indexing may really be expensive with respect to CPU power and battery. What's the tracker guru's opinion?
