New service extension point
A new extension point has been recently introduced in F-Spot.
It’s named Service and will allow developers to introduce custom services for interfacing F-Spot with other programs.
A typical example is the Beagle Notifier, which has been moved out as extension. This addin can be used to understand how this new extension point work. Another example can be DBus.
Keep in mind when designing service extension that it’s essential for the Start () function to be the lightest possible, as affects F-Spot’s startup time. More informations at F-Spot.org.
