Patch for tracker-files utility (1.72 KB, patch)
2008-12-09 20:59 UTC, Luca Ferretti 		committed Details | Review

Description Luca Ferretti 2008-12-09 20:50:33 UTC 
As discussed on maling list, some command line option are using wrong option description. For example:

   -s, --service    <description>

should be
   -s, --service=STRING <description>

The fist in fact says that the --service option don't want any argument, i.e. that `tracker-tool --service ~/Downloads` is valid, while `tracker-tool --service=Music ~/Downloads` not. This is of course wrong.

Patches will come.

Patch for tracker-files utility

Produced output:
  -s, --service=STRING      Search for specified service
  -l, --limit=NUMBER        Set the total number of displayed results (default 512)
  -o, --offset=NUMBER       Set the offset for displayed results (default 0)
  -m, --add-mime=STRING     Search for specified MIME type (can be used multiple times)


Additional stuff:
 * remove a duplicate locale.h
 * add translators comments for arguments
 * little changes in description (IMHO better, but please comment)
 * fix g_option_context_add_main_entries() (no custom translate_domain for this tool)

Dunno:
 * NUMBER or INT ??
