TagLib affects indexers?

[lariamat]

Can anybody confirm this?

as far as I can see there is no possibility to open a file readonly with
taglib.
This affects tracker/beagle/strigi/any other indexer that uses inotify,
because these reindex the file after reading the tag with taglib.

Am I getting something wrong or isn't there a possibility to open
readonly.

Thanks for reply

You can open a file read only, but TagLib only does this right now if opening it in read/write mode fails. So you need to make the file itself read only to do this (which isn't a bad idea anyways if you're not going to tag it any further I guess).

Adding a readOnly flag to TagLib::File() probably wouldn't be too hard though, everything is in taglib/toolkit/tfile.cpp

If you do so, please consider sending it as a patch in a bug report so
that it may end up in Taglib proper.
