Having played with dirvish-locate a bit, I found myself becoming impatient with waiting for it to list the files I was after. It dawned on me that there might be some value in creating some kind of "indexer" which would scan through the dirvish vaults and build/maintain a database of all of the files and their metadata to make dirvish-locate run faster.
But the possibilities go further than that. It would be nice to be able to run some command and see all of the changes for a directory (a little like "git status", say). Maybe to see what has changed since the last backup *as well as* being able to specify a date in the past and see all of the files which have been changed since then. Has there been any discussion about developing a set of tools to expand the ability to query the vaults?
And, while I'm on the topic, I've noticed that, at the back-end, Dirvish seems to be a *lot* like Apple's "Time Machine". Has there been any talk about maybe making a GUI front-end to Dirvish for KDE or Gnome?
