2008-11-21 18:25:59 Dave Vree description Binary package hint: tracker I have many excel files on my system and I quickly noticed when tracker had finished it's initial indexing that there content was not indexed. After sifting through various forums and website I discovered that gnumeric needed to be installed before this could happen. I would suggest that whatever part of gnumeric makes this possible be made a dependent package for tracker. I see that gnumeric is a "suggested" package for tracker. Perhaps it should be a "recommended" package. Either way, perhaps there should be a way via tracker preferences to enable this simply.

Alternatively, perhaps gnumeric should be a "recommended" package. If it need to be an optional package, then it would be nice to be able to enable it from the indexer preferences GUI.
