Hello, please find attached the following patch. I have a question in case it gets applied. I'd like to improve the mode to search for files (locate isn't fast/good enough). So far I thought of tracker [0] and recollq [1] but as noted none seemed 100% right. I thought of loading the db written by 'updatedb' in the memory [2] but I don't know if that's acceptable as xmonad tries to stay lightweight. cheers, Carlos [0] it would be fast, but it needs to add dbus as a dependency http://projects.gnome.org/tracker/ [1] the query language doesn't apply to file *names* only (it works to search for terms *in* files) http://www.lesbonscomptes.com/recoll/ [2] my mlocate.db is 37M for a 1.5TB disk Comments on the patch: ------------- 2 patches for repository http://code.haskell.org/XMonadContrib: Thu Jun 28 12:17:49 CEST 2012 c.lopez@kmels.net * Changes on XPrompt: * Adds mkPromptWithModes, creates a prompt given a list of modes (list of XPType). * Adds Setting `alwaysHighlight` to defaultXPConfig. When set to true, autocompletion always highlight the first result if it is not highlighted. Adds module XMonad.Actions.Launcher. This module allows to combine and switch between instances of XPrompt. It includes a default set of modes which require the programs `hoogle`, `locate` and `calc` to be installed to work properly.
