I also think it would be better to have a GetStatus method instead of an IsBusy so it can return a string for each of the possible status. For a client it might also be handy to know, if its indexing, the uri of the entity being indexed. We will also need a dbus signal StatusChanged to be emitted too but that can wait if you are busy jamie _______________________________________________ tracker-list mailing list tracker-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/tracker-list
