Ok, now that I have something working (at a minimal feature scope) I think I'm ready to announce the birth of project Barracuda.
It is a desktop search program using Tracker as indexing back end. You can see a screenshot here:
http://grillbar.org/barracuda/screenshot.pngWhat it can do:
- Text serarches via Tracker (on an optinal servcice that defaults to Files)
- Thumbnail results (very slowly - hence a stop button)
- Open results by clicking them (with correct program for the given mimetype)
What it can't do (yet):
- Do spiffy stuff with the matadata provided by tracker
I've put the code in a Bazaar-NG repository on
http://grillbar.org/barracuda, you can check it out with
bzr get
http://grillbar.org/barracuda"
Just run "./test_barracuda" from the source dir. When new spiffy stuff lands in the tree you can update your snapshot with:
bzr pull
In Ubuntu you should install the "bzr" package to get bazaar up and running. If you haven't tried bzr before I gotta warn you - it's pretty addictive! No more cvs for me please :-D
Interesting Parts:
There is a baracuda.tracker submodule, that only relies on dbus and gobject Python bindings. When it is more mature it might do good as a separate module for easy tracker-python interaction. Perhaps even bundled in the tracker source..?
Cheers,
Mikkel
