Re: [Tracker] T-S-T UI Review of .7.x versus .6.x

[Ken Schmedding <schmedk gmail com>]

Greetings,

Forgive me for being a noob in the area of open source development.  I am not sure how you want submissions of patches.  I have attached a patch that makes the T-S-T version 0.8.3 accept search terms from the command line as it did in version 0.6.96.  This required minor modifications of tracker-search-tool.gs.  If you want submissions in some other way, I am sure I am trainable. :-)

feel free to supply a patch.

Genie is very easy to learn and should not be a problem and yes the vala
compiler is used to compile it

We certainly do want to bring 0.8 TST into feature parity with 0.6
version ASAP

thanks
