Excellent summary. Problem as I see it is that the devs of each program probably think theirs is the best version so they won't budge.
That's what I mean re people being in love with their apps/code/etc., adn. Love the code - OK. But don't be /in/ love with it. Perhaps an interim method might be to use something like gamin to watch for changed files and have a daemon for tracker listen to gamin's output and keep track of changes. Later, at some less inconvenient time, tracker can index the changed files. In this case tracker may be slightly less up-to-date than having it run every single time the user logs in but then it is far less likely to get in the user's way. Actually, this would make tracker faster because it will no longer need to search for changed files. jd -- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
