Hi,

GNOME Books is supposed to query Tracker and get us results.

Unfortunately, the current version of GNOME Books is very very limited.
The only thing it detects on my machine is CBR files. If I try to make
it open others, it gives me standard message saying "GNOME BOoks is in
preview mode or whatever". Effectively it is not much useful.


Attached is a patch which widens the supported format for GNOME Books.
This patch adds/enables document type PDF and  COLLECTIONS.

This is my first time dealing with Javascript so I'm not much versed
with it. I don't know what COLLECTIONS here is being referred to. But my
patch will generalize it for all types.

I think it should be okay to have the book types (PDF and Collection)
show up under Books too, than not showing/rendering anything at all.


PS: There are some other errors with gnome-{Boook/Documents} but they
don't directly hinder the usability of the tool. For example, when you
select collecitons, nothing is listed. Where as if you put a search
query, you see results.

Hopefully if I read up on Javascript, I'll look into those.

I doubt upstream would accept a patch like that, since I think the idea
for PDFs is that they want a way to manually tag PDFs as being books so
receipts and other things don't show up in gnome books.  There's some
discussion about that in https://bugzilla.gnome.org/704316.
