I have 10 to 20 thousand emails in my outmail.txt 709,000 lines

why oh why would I want them individually? All my email info is there, my inbox is clean only holding current unarchived email.

Some of you with 50,000 files. Good grief, no wonder you spend all day looking for filenames filenames filenames.

Merging makes filenames unimportant. It's the content you are always looking for. You don't go looking for a word file, thinking I'm going to re mail that to so and so. Doesn't happen. The formatting in word makes it pretty but reduces it's portability and sharability. DATA SHOULD BE SHARED

A half day at Spectate Swamp Shack and you'll see computing in a whole New (old) way.

No, any sane and rational person would just click the find button in their email client.... poof the emails all show right up.

If only we could get you a time travel machine so you could go join your ideas back in the early 80s.

Merging makes filenames unimportant.   It's the content you are always looking for.

Except that the filename is important.  You don't want to go throw away important things do you?  I wouldn't open up "financials_2007.doc" and expect to find a Pokemon fanfic, would I?  That's because I have good filenames.

SpectateSwamp:

You don't go looking for a word file, thinking I'm going to re mail that to so and so. Doesn't happen.

WRONG.  100% WRONG.  I do this regularly at work.  I email someone a form, ask them to fill it out and return it.  A month later, I need to send it to them again, to fill it out and return it.  Or I email something out, 4 months later, they need it, but have deleted off their old emails, so I send it to them again.  You could not be more wrong, SpectateBot.

Geez, cut him some slack! Don't you know it is impossible to iterate through all the files in a directory??

Obviously the only way to search multiple files is to combine them all into text files... Nevermind that any program like notepad has a find function that can search, AND even edit at the same time!

Obviously you should use the crappy desktopsearch he uses. It may not startup the first time. It may have a horrible, command based UI. It may require you to find the search term, and then reopen the file in an editor later, searching with the editor's find function....

But whats your point? You like everything to be 10 times more complicated than it needs to be... don't you?

I dont need to know about email clients either. It starts up when my computer starts up. Email pops up on the screen when someone sends it. If I need to find an old email, I type it in the box at the top of the screen. Poof! I am reading it.

Are you really arguing that me sitting here combining all my emails into a huge text file and then using that monstrosity (with dozens of meaningless commands) will save me time?

Are you also arguing that your desktop search now replaces email clients? I didn't see anything in the code for POP3 or SMTP!

Hold it hold it. You are losing me SMTP POP3 I'm in the Don't NEED to Know Mode. But there are a couple things I'd like to Know.

How hard is it with your email clients and all to export all your email (textual info only) to text. Probably not that hard at all. Search that. Or are you just part of the RESISTANCE

meaningless commands. You bet. I was going to fix that part up some day. But that meant changing templates, data defaults etc. I like videoing more that fixing code that is just fine as it it. A nice skin would cover up all those blemishes this hidden beauty has.

Here's the problem, you DO need to know. You are claiming your program will simplify my life, and rid me of email clients. But it won't your program cannot retrieve or send email. Why would I use your program to search email when I have a mail client that does ALL of those things, in a much better way than your program?

SpectateSwamp:

The point is not whether it is difficult or not. The point is exporting to text, when the mail client does more than your program could ever hope to do would be stupid.

If it was a beauty, there would not be meaningless commands that would have to be cleaned up... But anyway. I wonder what you'll come up with next. I really like the idea of having all DLLs in one text file - now that is one way out of DLL hell isn't it?

One question before I go back to something useful: If you want to reply to some old email message - how do you do that with your text file? How to you extract attachments? Or maybe you are storing your attachments as *ding* separate files?

If you keep refusing seeing a doctor, we will have to - that's for sure...

Here at Spectate Swamp Shack I have demoed the Desktop Search to non-computer users. Explaining what was going on in the background and how I managed to do certain things. How poorly I named some of the commands and why screen saver mode is "ww" instead of "ss" etc etc. They could see the simplicity of it all and weren't terrified. Can you do that with any of your so called replacements for Spectate Swamp search. I doubt it. When they can understand what is going on. They will find ways to make use of it. There are millions of people out there with video phones needing a simple way to make use and have fun with video. This is the WAY

I definitely doubt that you have ever demoed this to ANYONE who was ever happy with it, and started using it.

Anyone you had over your 'shack' was probably just happy to leave without you wearing their face under the moonlight.

Serious question here: have you ever seen OS X's Spotlight search?  It's a full-system indexed search.  It searches all of your text files, PDFs, Doc, and even recent web pages you've visited.  It launches applications, defines words, and does mathematical calculations.  Now, based on your implementation of search you'd probably expect the user interface for this to be ridiculously complicated... but, guess what?

That's it.

There are no "commands" or anything like that.  Just some food for thought regarding user interface.

I found quite abit about Mac desktop search. It needs some competition and a good search to autit it's results. Everybody needs a good audit.

I don't like indexers running. I would have to turn it off all the time. This search I just start it up and it's ready to go and do my bidding. Video, music, pics

I'll be visiting some Mac and Linux sites to try and encourage them to take on the challenge. The masses need you.

1) What kind of audit would you need other than it returning great results moments after the content appears on your system?  I can create a file anywhere on the system and find it moments later with Spotlight.  I don't see any need to "audit" anything there.

2) The indexer runs quietly in the background.  Observing the indexer process shows that is uses about 0.00% - 0.02% of my CPU (an aging 4-year-old 1GHz G4) when idle, and about 1% for a moment when saving a file.  On a newer machine it's hardly noticeable.  Granted, it does churn for a while on a brand new system, but really, after that you never even notice.

My favorites list is just getting longer and longer. Dump some huge amount of text and check it out. GF on your jpgs or mpgs or mp3 stuff Now they can't touch you. You are in control of your DATA.

 

That other forum is about to lock the thread. I think I'll leave them alone for a while. The learning continues here.

Seeing as how you don't seem to be learning anything, and there is nothing you can teach us, what learning are you suggesting is going on?

I think I've found Spectates brother:

I download unixutils, put it on my path, and get spoiled with find and grep. I don't know maybe its just me but sometimes when doing something complex I like command line.

Wy re-invent the wheel when you can just use unix utils :)

Troll fodder?

SpectateSwamp:

I found quite abit about Mac desktop search. It needs some competition and a good search to autit it's results. Everybody needs a good audit.

Wow. Suddenly it all makes sense.

SpectateSwamp is a Scientologist.
 

Just think. Next somebody will actually be improving OUR Desktop Search Engine. Cleaning up the code. Adding more functions. Explaining the bad parts.

 

A handful have seen the light. They are testing it out. One NOTE when doing random. Make sure you turn it off when finished. It gets a little confusing with text. Ie "rand" "norand" at prompt #2.

It's not just me working on the code anymore. There are some Swampies out there lots and lots of them.

A half day at Spectate Swamp Shack and you'll see computing in a whole New (old) way.

Bought Kaczynski's old place, did you?

Dude, come on, no one wants to touch that steaming pile of "code". The only Swampies out there are in your head. I will help you improve your code for the sake of the FOSS movement. Start by opening code.txt in notepad, press Ctrl-A and then backspace. Next, be sure to click save, and upload it to your ftp. While you're at it maybe you could trying running fdisk on your C drive, it should help defrag and speed up your Swampy(read as shitty) search. 

Also, my fav comment in the code is this one:

'pause a bit and do a couple of beeps just to bug them

System.out.println("SpectateSwamp is brilliant!");

Who, pray tell, is working on this code?  Who are these "Swampies" that are swarming all over "OUR Desktop Search Engine?" 

Who wants to sign up to work on code like this?  Raise your hand, please!

Reminds me of that terminal screenshot with the option "Close and take a dump"

Why am I concerned with my files touching me?  Maybe I want them to touch me. 

Do you ever think about things before you type?

Remember these things always.  

    #1) Respect the sanity of others.
    #2) Think before you type.
    #3) With great failure comes great responsibility to make your program better.

Most of you should know where I got the list.
