As a KDE user I would really love to have something like it. http://seilo.geekyogre.com/uploads/2009 ... tgeist.ogv

KDE has had this ( at least the infrastructure to ) since KDE 4 was released. It is called Nepomuk. Tagging and rating files in Dolphin use this, and Strigi search is now possible also through this, and more is probably possible as well.

Well, if Strigi worked, yes, it would be nice. But I hate to say Strigi is still very much a work in progress. It will just hang on me after a couple of minutes' worth of indexing. Besides, I wonder if it can index e.g. Thunderbird mail.
Still using Beagle here, even though I am not keen on GTK / Mono apps. The main issue with Nepomuk (or Zeitgeist for that matter), is that you cannot use it from within apps. Having to step outside of your application, say Open Office, in order to tag or categorize files means an extra loop in the workflow that is bound to be skipped from time to time, effectively rendering the whole feature useless.

You can use already preassigned Nepomuk information inside all KDE applications also, thanks to the nepomuksearch:/ KIO slave. The Virtuoso backend should hopefully allow a massive speed improvement in Strigi, and will remove its Sesame2 ( Java ) dependency for fast indexing.

i have no problems with strigi, with qt4.4 strigi fails loading many files with one label, but with qt4.5 have no problems :shade:

Well - nepomuk is only one part of a "Zeitgeist"-equivalent. What's needed besides the backend (nepomuk), is a decent frontend (GUI).
Currently the GUI(s) for nepomuk in KDE are missing. Maybe KDE 4.4 starts to show us some more. Really cool features shouldn't be too hard to build using this really nice backend. |

In KDE 4.3 Dolphin has a prominently placed Nepomuk search bar.

Sorry about resurrecting this thread, but I'm happy that, after all this time, the KDE answer to Gnome Zeitgeist seems to be... Gnome Zeitgeist: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2010/11/zeit ... ng-to-kde/
Seif Lofty seems to be working with Zeitgeist integration into Kate and Dolphin, and we might see that in SC 4.7. Thanks for that, and we, as KDE, are probing ourselves to be a NIH-free, solid community. |
