GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 517265
Allow nested file chooser bookmarks
Last modified: 2015-05-10 04:49:38 UTC
It would be good to allow tree-like shortcuts to be added. It would allow adding a media shortcut, with "Photos"/"Music"/etc. sub-items. See also: http://blogs.gnome.org/calum/2008/02/18/media-at-your-fingertips/
Can anyone do a mockup UI with this feature?
Using Xesam[1] there is multiple ways to tackle this simply. 1) Use the Xesam searcher directly to search all files of the content type "xesam:Media". 2) Define a specific media-searcher, implementing the Xesam Search interface, exposing only the media part of the Xesam ontology. 3) Create a simple media-search lib using xesam-glib, or add a specific media targetted API to xesam-glib.

(In reply to comment #2) > Using Xesam[1] there is multiple ways to tackle this simply. The problem is that Xesam wouldn't allow for as close a control as application-driven filters. For example, you wouldn't be able to implement the "last roll" listing in the iPhoto screenshot as seen on Calum's website. But it's certainly a good starting point. You should probably add Xesam support to GTK+, it currently only supports Spotlight, Beagle and Tracker.
don't think this is going to happen
