[gentoo-user] zeitgeist in Gnome 3

[Stefan G. Weichinger]

Anyone using that?

I see three pkgs in portage:

dev-libs/libzeitgeist
gnome-extra/zeitgeist
gnome-extra/zeitgeist-datahub

This allows me to use this extension:

https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/33/jump-lists/

but afai see it only works with libreoffice right now, but not with
other applications like thunderbird.

I wonder if I need gnome-activity-journal for that (not in portage or
the gnome-overlay)?

Or is that so far not yet available in gnome-3.2?

Stefan

Applications need to support zeitgeist. If an application do not support
it (Thunderbird most certainly doesn't), files and activities simply
don't get recorded. For example, opening files in Nautilus will track
opened files but doing something on the shell will not.

I wasn't aware of that project, thanks for the hint! :) Yes, they seem
to provide data providers for certain applications. A look in the trunk
reveals which applications:
