McCann: Cross Cut [the future of Nautilus]McCann: Cross Cut [the future of Nautilus]Posted Aug 3, 2012 20:55 UTC (Fri) by drag (subscriber, #31333)In reply to: McCann: Cross Cut [the future of Nautilus] by thebluesgnr Parent article: McCann: Cross Cut [the future of Nautilus]
Say I am browsing a directory using nautilus.
I have 500 files in there.
How do I, using the new search method, go down the files that start with 'n' and then navigate up and down to see the files that start with l, m, o, and p? Using almost any file manager it's a lightening fast affair.
How can I do that quickly in Nautilus with out forcing myself to visually scroll up and down the directory to find 'n' manually?

Or, I'm browsing my NFS-mounted home directory. It's got about fifty directories at the top level and a quarter of a million files in it. I type a couple of letters to get to the right directory, and WHAM the thing freezes for ages while it does a massive find(1) (because tracker plus NFS do not get on, though for that we have the local-VFS-reporting-only idiocy of inotify/dnotify to thank -- I keep meaning to implement something network-aware on top of them, but have never got around to it.)

Wouldn't it be better to index those files on the file server, and query its "indexing server" over the network? Having 100s or 1000s of PCs in a company each crawl the multi-terrabyte (or probably even bigger) NFS server to make their own private index of it doesn't sound like a very optimal solution to me…
