Love the content indexing!
Are there any plans to perhaps expand on it?
I have a few unsolicited suggestions/requests :
Everything is by far my favorite and the most useful app on my PC. I can't use a PC without it.
Saw you had a donate button so threw $40 bucks your way. Didn't see a way to leave a comment like many of the other donators though - might have clicked next->next->next too fast.
Keep up all your great work!
Are there any plans to perhaps expand on it?
I have a few unsolicited suggestions/requests :
- add ability to configure settings on a per file type basis (includes, excludes, etc.)
- add ability to set Minimum size in addition to Maximum size
- WOULD BE AMAZING:
Remove the include, exclude, maximum size fields all together and replace them with a fully featured Search field.
(like the `Organize Filters -> Edit Filters -> Search` box)
Due to the additional memory requirements of indexing content (ram usage increased >2GB!), I feel that better filtering to select content to include in the index is needed. Having the power of a fully featured Search Query would be perfect.
I imagine Search only works on a fully constructed database, but could it perhaps be built in several passes?:- 1st pass: Construct the core database without content or indexed properties
- 2nd pass: Go through again and add indexed properties to the DB to facilitate any properties that may be used in the content Search Query
- 3rd pass: For each indexed file type, run the fully featured Search expression (that's unique for each file type!) and index the content of files that match it
- if you're really bored, ability to search content of both Outlook and Thunderbird emails would be nice, but each of those programs already have decent search so probably not worth the time investment. Apparently this is already possible
