Nemo like display using Beagle?

[Andrew Ruthven]

Hi guys,

I've been doing a little bit of playing with Nemo[0] which looks pretty
cool.  But it is busy crawling my file system, just like Beagle is
doing.  Just wondering if anyone has investigated modifying Nemo to use
the Beagle indexes?

Cheers!

Nemo can work with beagle if you use the beagle-xesam-adaptor.

Just open ~/.nemo/configuration.xml

and change search_tool to beagle.

Now Nemo will still generate its own index of the filesystem but that is mainly because xesam doesn't allow us to store metadata, yet.
 

Cheers!

If you where adventurous you could grab a hold of the Beagle index and
crawl that directly. Traversing a Lucene index is quite fast... Would
be an act of great evil and I am sure the wrath of the Beagle lords
would come swift, but just a thought :-)

Like any good data-siloed application, internal data structures
subject to change blah blah. :)

You can feel free to walk the index, but you probably won't get quite
the data you want.  We're storing only UIDs in the index -- not file
paths or URIs -- and you'd have to resolve those against the sqlite
database which contains the mapping.  Not as quick as just iterating
over the index, I'm afraid.
