Let me rephrase. Will it be possible to configure, limit or disable trackerd activity per directories without recompiles or hardcore .conf-console-fu ?

But will it have SyncML so that you can sync that calendar with useful external calendars (Oracle Calendar, Google Calendar via GooSync, etc.)?

And then hopefully also support SyncML for things like contacts and bookmarks.

Tracker isn't closed source or a Nokia-specific technology. You can get some sense of how the underlying bits may be controlled via a look at the trackerd man page. You can also look at the source and try Tracker out on a Linux desktop to provide bug reports and feedback now.

See the man page linked above.

I didn't like claws at all. Horrible interface for a tiny screen.

Well, I even reduced the default font-size to see more messages at once, so I obviously disagree.

I really appreciate the enlightening posts, but what I see in the referenced pages is what I called conf-console-fu in my previous post, not how it will be utilized by MAFW and whether any of it's configurability will be readily exposed to users by MAFW (or other elements of fremantle).

What does Tracker's configuration have to do with MAFW?

The question then, you should be asking, is "if my setup is $FOO, will Tracker eat my battery, kill my babies or run off with my significant other".

If Tracker does any of those things, it's a bug. If you don't want Tracker to index a particular directory, but you don't want to get into the low-level configuration details (and I'd be surprised if Nokia provided such a configuration UI through File Manager) then I have to ask why don't you want Tracker to index a particular directory?
