Where can I find this “Tracker Nautilus Integration” that you speak of?

I too would like to see the tagging support in nautilus and all the virtual folders. the tags would be more practical stored with the file as someone here suggested. oh and tell those ubuntu folks to get the .60 in their repositories

Hi John! Idea is really great, I’m awaiting it for a long time already. What is the state for now?

There is a few suggestions I have:

There should be a way to sync metadata from Tracker with outer world. I would like to not connect metadata to Tracker but to files themself (e.g. xattrs). This way if I will copy/move files, metadata will be there as well (provided target filesystem supports it).

It will also be nice to be able to choose indexer (Beagle, Tracker, Strigi etc). I’d even prefer to have two indexers: one very fast and another with morphological analysis of different languages to find all word forms (it will slow down parsing too much).

Virtual folders and file tagging is really great and I’m waiting for it!

Hi John,

How goes the progress on this? I recently installed Ubuntu on my laptop and am in the final(ish) stages of configuring. I dumped Beagle in favor of Tracker (mostly for the tagging), but alas can’t do the tagging of files until 0.6. I did get Tracker successfully working in Deskbar after using the workaround to keep it from crashing.

My goal is a tracker enabled Nautilus that will allow me to make Virtual (or Smart) Folders using Tracker tags. This way I can have one repository for documents and keep them in multiple virtual folders as necessary. Very convenient for writing papers, books, or classes where one document is used in multiple situations. I set this type of system up for my wife on her Mac and it is very sweet. Would love to have it on Ubuntu.

Ideally you could tag while saving files. Find tags in Nautilus and DeskBar using Tracker. And then make Smart Folders based on tags.

If you have any code that is ready to play with I’d be happy to try it out! Michele from the Tracker List said you were working on something called Nautilus View and that this might be what I’m looking for.

Cheers,
Greg

Tracker is amazingly fast, it really needs to get into GNOME.

I put together a demo GUI for Tracker daemon. Using Mono.
It’s just for fun it’s not much, take a look:
