I think tracker needs to provide more 'visibility'. There should be a way for the user to see what tracker is doing at any given moment (dynamic list of tasks/operations it performs, preferably with a graphical UI ;)).
Improve 'controllability' as well, by allowing the user to suspend or terminate individual indexing tasks or set rules that cover similar tasks on-the-fly. usage case: The user sees an indexing tasks that eats a lot of cpu/memory and takes a lot of time to finish. The user can set rules for tasks of similar nature (e.g. indexing contents of compressed files) using the current 'troublesome' task as a template (or derive a template from it). Of course all of the above should be coupled with sensible defaults, so a normal user wouldn't need to know it's even there. With the above suggestions, at least when something goes wrong you can do something about. -- trackerd uses up all available memory https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/214219 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
