On the one hand, I would want the system to inspect files only the moment I look at them. Including the feature when I scroll down, it stops scanning files it scheduled while I was looking at the top of the list and instead scans the ones I look at now. Nautilus does that well now after annoying me for years.
Why would it want to stop scanning the files scheduled earlier? It should just scan the files I look at now before. Otherwise I will still have to wait when I scroll up again after some time.
I'm not sure if Nautilus does that either; maybe it's just the plenty of cores that give you that idea :-)
So a tight coupling with Tracker seems like a good idea.
I don't see those as connected. Tracker could just send messages to the index server which then acts on its work queue as described above. I would also move MIME type identification from the registrar to that server.
Bye, Axel.
