As Bastien says, we should try to identify and fix possible bugs and resource issues upstream. I also think tracker should use a different default configuration; these are the changes I think we should make: - removable media indexing should be off by default - I don't know if this is used by the totem grilo integration, but it's not by gnome-documents. Anyway, I think the best way to approach this is tracker should just be aware of removable media and applications who make use of them should be able to have them crawled on-demand, but that needs fixing in tracker first. - indexing should be enabled on battery - right now it's disabled. If we disable indexing on battery, applications like gnome-documents will be "locked" into the last view of the local file entries in the tracker database before you unplugged the cable, which is very ugly. Having used tracker on by default for a bit now it seems that after the initial crawling, which is an expensive operation, I didn't notice any particular increase in resource usage. With removable devices indexing off, this should ideally be a one-shot operation. As a side note, I also took some time to clean up the tracker spec file a bit (patches at [1]); I think the flickr miner (which doesn't use g-o-a and is not easily configurable) should be split in a separate package, disabled by default.
