Description Bastien Nocera 2008-02-18 17:59:11 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.

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.

> 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
