Nautilus is a file manager, so we should star files. Previously we starred the content resources extracted by Tracker Miner FS, instead. This had the advantage that the stars would follow file renames. It had the downside of being more complex and limited in which files can be starred. In Tracker 2.x, the feature only worked in folders indexed by Tracker Miner FS. With Tracker 3.x, it was additionally limited to files where Tracker had extracted metadata -- mainly just documents and media files. This commit takes the simpler approach of storing the star against the file URL. All files can now be starred, and stars will no longer persist when a file is moved or renamed.

Nautilus
This is Nautilus, the file manager for GNOME.
Supported version
Only latest Nautilus version as provided upstream is supported. Try out the Flatpak nightly installation before filling issues to ensure the installation is reproducible and doesn't have downstream changes on it. In case you cannot reproduce in the nightly installation, don't hesitate to file an issue in your distribution. This is to ensure the issue is well triaged and reaches the proper people.
Hacking on Nautilus
To build the development version of Nautilus and hack on the code see the general guide for building GNOME apps with Flatpak and GNOME Builder.
Runtime dependencies
- Bubblewrap installed. Used for security reasons.
- Tracker (including tracker-miners) properly set up and with all features enabled. Used for fast search and metadata extraction, starred files and batch renaming.
