Otherwise a potential search client has to introspect all D-Bus names and all object paths on each of them.</blockquote><div> Yes, that was the plan, it is a small thing to define them though. Ideally I think we should only define the interface name and dbus had a magic method GetObjectForInterface(" org.freedesktop.blah"), but as far as I know this is not possible... This leads me to a question I've been thinking about... Why is it not custom to version your dbus interfaces? XML namespaces (typically)  does that for example. I was wondering whether to use org.freedesktop.wasabi.search.1 for instance, not that I expect the api to change. But if we ever add api we could define a .2 or something like that... </div> </div> Cheers, Mikkel
