pardon my late reply. my phone had screwed up my mail setting. there is a project called leaftag which should allow the same. the internal document is a bit old.
you could also check with author of tracker project, if it is possible to intergrate nautilus metadata. ---Original Message--- From:Sébastien Barthélemy<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date:Fri, 03 Nov 2006 19:30:40 -0500 To:[email protected] Subject: extending Nautilus metadata with tags (or keywords) Hello everybody, for my work (I'm a PhD student), I have to manage a lot of pdf/ps.gz files, reading them, sorting them and taking notes about them. I found no software to do this, but maybe Nautilus could help. What I would like is quite simple: * attach to each file some annotations while I read the file, * attach to each file some keywords to filter the nautilus view. For the first point, the "note" property panel is perfect, except the fact that I'd like it to be more accessible (through the left panel, for instance) As all my files are in the same directory, all the metadata will be in the same xml file (in .nautilus/...), this is convenient. Therefore, for the second point, it would be required to add a metadata field (keywords) to the nautilus ones, and add ways to view and change it (columns in the list view, emblems). It will also be required to provide some way to filter the view, with regexp, checkboxes or so (maybe beagle or tracker could do this work for me). I've read the nautilus-internals pdf, but I cannot figure out if what I just explained would require lots of work or not. I also had a look at python-nautilus, but it seems that I won't be able to add the fields within python-nautilus. What do you think about that ? does it seem realistic to add this keyword support as a nautilus extension ? Or do you see a better way to do this ? Thanks a lot for any hint and don't hesitate to send me back reading documentation instead of making long answers -- Sebastien Barthelemy -- nautilus-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/nautilus-list -- nautilus-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/nautilus-list
