Description Luca Ferretti 2007-02-07 14:44:07 UTC 
Currently Tracker lacks a good API allowing external developers to write Tracker-based applications.

The minimal request could be a GObject to run a query, with signals to report matches.

PS no, D-Bus RPCs are not enough

This will be done

we will have both the current flat api and a new gobject based one which will both be autogenerate using XSLT from the introspect xml

Can the reporter of this bug set the _version_ so we can target bugs to work on more easily please. We can also have an idea about if these bugs are likely to be obsolete too.

If you don't set the version, we are less likely to look at them.

Sorry for the spam, but I don't want to say this 88 times on each bug :)

I am going to mark this as WONTFIX. We have SPARQL and libtracker-client to do this. There is also a library being written by codethink to facilitate this task.
