[Suggestion] Index folders recursively (but not files?)

Open blzq opened this issue 6 years ago • 6 comments

It would be nice if Kupfer could recursively index the directories within the folder catalog, maybe not including files in the index as it might become too slow.

Kupfer does follow the subdirectories. Maybe give us an example of what you meant?

For example, when there's a path /dir/subdir/subsubdir/file.txt, it seems that if dir is in the catalog, dir and subdir are accessible from the top level, but not subsubdir.

I also want this. As an ex-gnome-do user I'd also like to have the files available though. Perhaps make an option for it?

Use recursive directory plugin: https://github.com/skpdvdd/KupferRecursiveDirectories

Also if you enable you can search any file or folder.

The plugin seems to be outdated and doesn't really work :( The app itself doesn't look throw subdirectories as well. So, currently, I don't understand what to do :'(

Try out deepdirectories which was part of my closed PR #115 . It's adapted to the latest kupfer version and working great. And btw. without any performance regressions.

Close due inactivity. Plugin deepdirectories solve this problem.
