Initial release of Pathena Desktop Search
Pathena is a new experimental application for indexing files on desktops running Unix-family operating systems. It was designed with technically oriented users in mind. Pathena consists of a PostgreSQL server plus a GUI client implemented with Python and Tkinter. Tsearch2, a companion package distributed with PostgreSQL, provides the full-text search engine. Search features enable users to find files based on path name or file content. User-defined profiles guide the discovery of relevant items within the user's file system. The initial set of supported file types includes text and source files, e-mail messages in 'maildir' format, various document types, and assorted others. Pathena is registered on PgFoundry, the PostgreSQL Development Group's site for developing and publishing PostgreSQL-related software. A longer description of the tool is available on the home page: http://pathena.projects.postgresql.org/ A project page is also available on PgFoundry: http://pgfoundry.org/projects/pathena/ The release can be downloaded from either place.
