So it was YOU that got Tracker decoupled from Nautilus on Ubuntu, eh? ;) j/k

Tracker used to suck. It was implemented too early by Ubuntu (there is a list of too-early-to-add Ubuntu technologies). The front end still sucks and does virtually nothing.

The development branch, on the other hand, is hot shit, and integrating it into applications and presenting more

Personally I hate Tracker, and disable it on new installs, so I'll disagree with you there.

I have no solution for you, and the way themes work in Gnome, I don't see colored folders being implementable. What you can do RIGHT NOW is use emblems. The right side panel can display emblems, and you can drag and drop onto folders. The default Ubuntu theme uses emblems which are all of the same color, but you can change that.

Nice article. I have a suggestion for something that wouldn't be too involved, I think, but very helpful to have integrated into the Gnome desktop. I have been trying to find an app that would allow me to quickly and easily color-code FOLDERS. Not backgrounds. Not wallpaper. Folders. Gnome color-chooser looks like what I'm after, but if the package downloaded from the repositories, then it

I've been wishing to do a similar article for a while. Good stuff !

I hope more people could post ideas like this.

I even tried to start a meme, some time ago, but it didn't worked.

James,

Thanks for the suggestion. I hadn't heard of Wallpapoz before (I change my backgrounds about once every couple of months). I'm 100% with you on the GTK+ dialog problem. In my imaginary "Tracker is in Gnome" world, the open dialog will show you all available documents which can be opened by that application, be searchable, have tags listed on the left, have a F-Spot style time

Good post! Would be really useful additions to the Gnome Desktop.

Going to try some of these myself..

Nice suggestions. I hadn't come across EarCandy before (thanks!).

I'd also suggest integrating Wallpapoz. Relatively vanilla GNOME gives the impression of being able to have either desktop icons or different wallpapers on each desktop, which somewhat undersells the Linux desktop. What I currently have on this computer is a large collection of wallpapers, split thematically by desktop,
