Comment 44 for bug 602211

I completely agree that current_uri as a new parameter however once u use it
u will need to use the the logic i described before:

So lets say I have a file that has been moved from /home/seif/foo to
/home/seif/bar. This means I query for all events where subject_uri =
/home/seif/foo so I get all results until the point it was moved, right? And
if I ask for /home/seif/bar I get all events with subject_uri =
/home/seif/foo as well as all subject_uri = /home/seif/bar ... ?

I dont mind using it for deletes. As I said its a nautilus patch
