Comment on ANN: LightMediaScanner 0.4.4 released by Gustavo Barbieri

Fair enough Adrien! I’ll leave the actual comparison to someone else as I’ll not bother to install tracker on my machine to measure it.

While doing the development (4 years ago) I compared scan speed on Maemo and LightMediaScanner was between 5-10 times faster, sometimes more. Particularly much more than that when users plugged in pendrives or external USB hard drives with audio/video/pictures mixed with backups and other documents that shouldn’t matter (tarballs, random text like source code).

And this is comparing the indexing, as the fetching/query is unfair to compare as accessing SQLite3 directly compared to 2-process solution with intermediate data representation is unbeatable.

Last but not least, LMS has a “check” mode that will just check if everything in the DB still exists and if it was updated, flagging accordingly. Removed files are actually just marked as so and if they become present again (removable media), they will be marked live again. This kind of things would save lots of scanning times in real world.

It would be interesting to compare the time needed to scan say a folder with 3000 MP3 files with both solutions, even though the feature set is different. Is tracker 10% slower, twice slower, 10x slower?

Some nice histories (portuguese only) about AA and their Miami-Recife flight. The pilot said the flight wouldn’t be secure, but the company (AA) was forcing him to do it.

Comment on Translucent widgets on X11, EFL version. by Gustavo Sverzut Barbieri

For Canola we just have the window to not listen to mouse events, so it goes to the window below it, in this case our application. I can’t remember if we just disabled mouse events with some mplayer command line option or by reseting event mask of the window that we give for mplayer with -wid.

Anyway, if you opt to go with inputwin, it will work.

Thank you. What I really want is to create a window with mplayer in it. And when I click mouse, the play control panel appears. Like the behavior in canola.

Ouch! Seems that X does not send events to transparent areas!

Well, I actually like that behavior, can make some things handy, but I see that for your case it might be a problem.

Depending on what you want, you can create an input window with ecore_x_window_input_new(), it can be of size 1×1 but it will work if you grab input there. You can use e17 code for e_grabinput() as example. If you want real examples on how to get typed keys with modifiers and all, use /e/src/modules/conf_keybindings/e_int_config_keybindings.c since it does that.
