What about tagging files by their mime/type - something like a virtual folder for their specific mime type? With this then it would be easy to load all your mp3/ogg files(for example) in your musicplayer. Make beagle go beyond it's current state - from just being indexer - to also be an

Yeah I know that there exists those Virtual Folder things. But I meant something like that but with tagging instead of rather quering from the beagle-daemon. What I meant was that tagging files to their specific mime-types makes it easy to get all files of a specific mime-type. Isn't there some

By default results are limited to 100, but you can change this in your code. This exists because (a) it helps performance and (b) in most cases more than 100 hits is not useful. Well that makes sense, I do know the beagle-query --mime audio/mp3 command :-} But shouldn't it be possible to

How about a basic use case of what you mean. Nice simple step by step from the end user. I have been kicking around and idea with the voices in my head about the idea of dbus/beagle integration with something like: If the music player is open or an music device is plugged in beagle

beagle-query already takes a --max-hits parameter. I dunno if it makes sense for beagle-search. People give up paging through way before they get to the 100th hit. People generally refine their searches further. Yeah I know that parameter, but It doesn't seem to work. As default it gives

I know that for example amarok has dynamic playlists, and automatically new founded files get's appended to the playlist if they match the criteria(genre, artist) to the specific dynamic playlist-mode. With a listener you can integrate this to banshee and other players also in the future or

Its awesome to see all this talk! Please feel free to either file an enhancement bug (so it doesn't get lost) or add it to the new section 'Ideas for Future Releases on the Roadmap page. For the next 0.2.11 release, do we have any specific thoughts on what we want done? I know that there are some
