I cannot comment on the other issues, but this reminded me of a question I
wanted to bring up: I think TrackerGrep is great and IMHO it could be part of
the base Haiku distro. I looked at the code and it is clean and easy to follow.
I would like to extend the app to support node monitoring for every listed
file, so that the list adapts live to any changes you do to these files as soon
as you change them. I guess that would be another nice feature when doing Haiku
demos.
Best regards,
