Right, a lot of the UI tools have had code disabled simply because
either the DBus API has COMPLETELY changed. If you use a tool like
d-feet, you can see, the DBus API is nothing like what it was.
Ok, that's understandable. I was just surprised because there wasn't any warning that the tool was currently broken.
We are still working on the engine and have not had time to update the
UI. I think Jamie was talking about working on this soon.

This depends on your extractors I think. Did configure say MS office
files were supported? If so, perhaps it is broken and needs fixing.
I'm currently running a version that I installed from Chris' PPA. I'll reinstall Tracker from source and let you know.

Hmm, not sure if this is related to the work going on right now but we
are in the process of moving this code between processes. That could
well be why.
Which file contains the code for monitoring changes? If I'm already compiling Tracker myself, maybe I'll play around with the code a bit.
