Description Joe Shaw 2005-07-28 21:58:59 UTC 
For beagle, we want to be able to index Nautilus metadata, like emblems.  This
data is stored per-directory in files in ~/.nautilus/metafiles.  Unfortunately,
there is no timestamp information available in these files, which means that if
one of the files changes, we have to assume that *all* files in that directory
have changed.  Obviously we can't do this for very large directories.

Attached is a patch which adds a timestamp attribute to the file nodes in the
XML file.

The patch should be very straightforward.

Thanks for your bug report! Maybe you could also submit this patch to the
