Tracker GUI
 

Is there a tracker frontend?

So I can just type something and let the tracker give all the listing? If so whats the package name?

I found out that by using tracker-search from the terminal I can achieve what I want, but, of course, I would rather have a nicer GUI. ;)

Soo...

Is there a way for my writing one in python?
If so can someone point me to the correct place where I can cop... ahem, get examples?

thanks..

Re: Tracker GUI
 

A tracker frontend in general exists (upstream).
A tracker frontend for the N900 does not exist.

Re: Tracker GUI
 

Thanks for answering I was already thinking no one was seeing :P

What is necessary for someone (or me) to port it to n900? Or to write a new one. Could you point me to some sources?

You can have a look at the tracker-search-tool from tracker 0.6.95. It´s here: http://git.gnome.org/cgit/tracker/tr...0c5131c19778a7 and it´s written in C. First step would be to make it compile inside the SDK, then you could start adapting the UI.

Another option is to write something from scratch (maybe using python) and talk to tracker via it´s DBus API.

I´m not a tracker expert. So read this more as general advice. There is also a tracker mailing list with helpful people. Some of them working for Maemo/Nokia.

I think what you're looking for is there:

http://live.gnome.org/Tracker/Documentation

I'm planning to work on it as soon as I get a device in my hands.

Re: Tracker GUI
 

anyone knows or has a tutorial with info about using dbus with python to control tracker?

tried following the links but dunno how to start with that.

Re: Tracker GUI
 

It seems rather strange to me that Nokia included and enabled the tracker miner as part of the base OS with no obvious way of using the collected data. Given the large chunk of cycles (and battery) it seems to use for the first few minutes after boot, it would be a shame if they didn't do something with it in the next released update. Has anyone seen any sign that some sort of front-end might be integrated soon? Should this be reported as a bug?

Re: Tracker GUI
 

Well, I am trying to build something out of it...

If you have any info that could help me would be great.

My main problem is that everything is the first for me: 1st maemo app, 1st python app, 1st time using dbus.

And to make matters worse the documentation here isnt that easy to find, at least not for me. Took me quite a while to start developing with python on it.

Aren't tracker's results used by the media player and the photo viewer ?

Re: Tracker GUI
 

I'm trying to figure out how to get tracker to stop indexing the pix in my .sounds dir. But it needs to index the mp3, flac, etc.

The idea is to get a 1000 pix or so out of my photo app?

Any suggestions or solutions?
