[Sugar-devel] exporting metadata from the journal
Is there a documented way (or a script) to process all available metadata from the Journal? I am looking for timestamps, type of data stored, collaborated with, etc. and not the actual content of the activity. cheers, Sameer -- Dr. Sameer Verma, Ph.D. Associate Professor, Information Systems Director, Campus Business Solutions San Francisco State University http://verma.sfsu.edu/ http://opensource.sfsu.edu/ http://cbs.sfsu.edu/ http://is.sfsu.edu/ ___ Sugar-devel mailing list Sugar-devel@lists.sugarlabs.org http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/sugar-devel

Depends on your definition of "documented way" and "process all available
metadata". ;)
sugar.datastore.datastore.find({}) will return DSObject instances for
all entries in the data store (unless you have enough entries to hit
the DBus timeout [1]). Full metadata is available as ds_object.metadata
(or ds_object.metadata.get_dictionary() if the interface of DSMetadata
isn't dict-like enough for your use).
See the Backup [2] activity for how to access the data store directly
via DBus and handling different versions (0.82 - 0.90).
