> What I was mentioning was: > - Rhythmbox reading the tags, and writing the xattrs > - The nautilus view reading from those xattrs If I go this way, I think there are 2 problems: 1. no tags if rhtyhmbox is not used / not launched / not having *all* music files of your HDD in its library 2. no tags for video files

If I go this way I could do: 1. test if a file has xattrs 2. if not, spawn asynchronously totem-video-indexer for each file and fill nautilus columns using the asynchronous methods Anyway both approaches have a problem: if the user changes the tags, they are not automatically written to xattrs of course. This might mean that the best way is to not cache tags in xattrs... -- nautilus-list mailing list nautilus-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/nautilus-list
