Re #53, I have compiled from source the a-l-m and tried the 'retrieve from past' feature.
Unfortunately no matter what I do it says '0 events inserted', and no extra files then seem to be visible. I then tried the 'history.py' script that Seif kindly referenced on a blog post of his a while back, which has the same basic crawler code but packaged to be run on a directory of the users choice from the command line. This does insert a number of events (almost as many events as there are files in the directory concerned) - but then nothing can seem to be able to find them: neither Unity Dash of gaj display them. So although there is now crawler code out there in the wild, it doesn't seem to be helping for some reason. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Zeitgeist Framework Team, which is subscribed to Zeitgeist Data-Sources. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/646724 Title: not all files show up in files-place Status in Unity: Triaged Status in Unity 2D: Triaged Status in Unity Files Lens: Triaged Status in Zeitgeist Framework: Invalid Status in Zeitgeist Data-Sources: Invalid Status in “unity-lens-files” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in “unity-place-files” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in “zeitgeist” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Bug description: The Unity interface, with its files-place feature for user access to files/documents etc. is really great. However there is a problem since the search feature relies wholly on zeitgeist (AFAIK), in the zeitgeist is not tracking everything. E.g. in openoffice, I create a new file (or open an existing one) from within openoffice itself. This file does not show up, presumably because openoffice does not (yet) push its activity to zeitgeist. I guess any number of other programs could suffer the same problem. For the average user, this is surely going to be confusing. They will create documents via legitimate means ('New ...' buttons in their applications), and then expect to be able to search for them in the Unity files-place interface. To avoid this confusion I would guess there really needs to be a filesystem watcher on the home dir (or key folders within it) so that zeitgeist is aware of activity caused by non-zeitgeist-aware applications.
