Hello,
(sorry by my bad english, I try to explain this as the best as I can...)
This is my first time posting on a list and I don't know the procedures to
post a question....if I make a mistake....sorry....
After this I try to explain my question.
I'm trying to make beagle can search by extended properties...by example: I
set a custom extended property to a file "setfattr -n user.CustomProperty -v
CustomValue <File>" and I want that beagle can search
CustomProperty:CustomValue.
I was reading about, and I think that the Filters can do that. But the
"problem" is that I want that every file with extended attributes have its
attributes as searchable properties...
this is my try to add properties:
Changes made on Filter.cs (inside beagled foder)
// I added a new function that add extended properties
protected void GetXtendedProperties(FileInfo info){
string[] PropertyName;
string[] XProperties;
string XValue;
//512 char is fine for extended values of
property???
byte[] XValueBuffer=new byte[512];
Mono.Unix.Native.Syscall.listxattr(info.FullName,out
XProperties);
for(int i=0 ; i<XProperties.Length ; i++)
{
Mono.Unix.Native.Syscall.getxattr(
info.FullName,XProperties[i],XValueBuffer);
XValue=
System.Text.ASCIIEncoding.ASCII.GetString(XValueBuffer);
PropertyName=XProperties[i].Split('.');
// We only need the last string after '.'???
may be is wrong...
AddProperty(Beagle.Property.NewKeyword
("dc:"+PropertyName[PropertyName.Length-1] , XValue.Trim('\0')));
XValueBuffer=new byte[512];
}
}
protected virtual void DoOpen (FileSystemInfo info) {
if (info is FileInfo){
//Put the extended properties of the file
GetXtendedProperties(info as FileInfo);
//
DoOpen (info as FileInfo);
}
else if (info is DirectoryInfo)
DoOpen (info as DirectoryInfo);
}
With this I can see the extended properties with beagle-extract-content, but
I can't search by property:value...
Can you give me a hand???, please???
