There are a few things that need doing before for 0.6.5 so if any of you has time to spare (i have little) so feel free to volunteer:
1) add an optional auto-pause feature to tracker-applet which pauses trackerd for a few secs whenever a keyboard or mouse event is detected (use gdk to listen to X event queue for this just like screensavers do). this feature would prevent trackerd from slowing down the computer whenever the user is actively using the machine 2) Ignore maildirs - currently these are treated as text files but its best to ignore them for now as they can overload the files db with millions of mail msgs maildirs always has a directory with 3 subdirs - "cur", "new" and "tmp" - if we detect a directory with just those subdirs then we should ignore them and not process anything in them (in the future if we have good email detection we can process them as emails but its too tricky to do so atm) 3) Constantly changing files - we should ignore these especially bittorrent ones. Perhaps keep a small size-limited stack of recently indexed files and if one of those files has been changed more than 10 times in a few minutes we should ignore them until trackerd next restarts jamie _______________________________________________ tracker-list mailing list tracker-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/tracker-list
