Comment 25 for bug 646724

Wrt to comment #23, I remember over a year ago in blog-posts or wherever some communication between Seif of Zeitgeist fame and the Tracker people about integration/linking together. There was talk of one of them pushing events to the other.

Certainly if Tracker pushed an event to Zeitgeist everytime it 'discovered' a new file, that would certainly help Zeitgeist to be aware of alot more of the user's filesystem. If the user is using Tracker, then resource-wise the user would be no worse off, since Tracker is already doing the crawling & monitoring anyway.

However, of course Tracker itself is configured by the user to NOT crawl their whole filesystem, so for some users it is arguably still incomplete (though it would be good enough for my own uses).
