That's a really good idea. I'll have a crack at doing this over the next few days.

Images?

QueryWatcher, install/config

Hi koki / Michael!

I think it's great dropping queries in a folder. There's really no need for a settings UI. What could be done, however, is this:
- creating "/boot/home/config/settings/Nerd Herd Software/QueryWatcher" at app startup, if missing.

- add a context menu option that says something like "Add queries...", which would open ~/config/ ... /QueryWatcher, and perhaps display a BAlert saying "Put your query files in this folder"

You could provide a few sample queries, like "New Email", etc. A "Drag 'Nerd Herd Software' here to install" -symlink could work too. Or even an install script, though I generally don't like install scripts.

Anyway, cool, keep up the good work!

In my last post, where I say "horizontal space"

I meant "vertical space".

Font size
 By Kokito - Posted on August 8, 2003 - 15:52:00   (#8466)

Right now, the QW seems to take the font size from BeOS system-wide font preferences. In my system if I change the font preferences to a bigger size than the default, QW tries to fit the text in the same horizontal space and chops off the top of each line.

It would be nice if one can change the font size, or if the program were font size aware.

Very nice utility. Very BeOS like. Simple, elegant, unobstrusive, but powerful.

...Should be fixed now. And thanks for the code, I've just resumed working on this project, and you've just preempted one of my todo's.

Trouble sending email

Hi,

I tried sending an email to info@NerdHerdSoftware.com, but it doesn't work for some reason. So I'm posting it here instead, I hope that it'll work better.. :)

I've added a feature to QueryWatcher, it can now ignore matching files in certain directories (useful for ignoring Trash and Spam folders when querying for new email, for example). The source is here:
http://eiman.tv/misc/querywatcher.src.eiman.zip

So far the ignored directories are hard-coded, but it should be easy to change that (links to directories to be ignored in a settings/ignore dir seems like a workable and easy to implement way to do it).

My changes in the source are marked with "// eiman". Feel free to add this to the official version if you want!

regards,
Mikael

How are you using this? Give me ideas because I'm not sure what to do with it.

Hello AlienSoldier,

Would you please contact me privately (info@nerdherdsoftware.com) and send me the queries that you're trying to run?

Additionally, to be sure, it can't filter out that directory; BFS queries don't support paths in predicates. Maybe if I can take a look at what you're trying to do, we can figure out some way to achieve it.

kinda work now
 By AlienSoldier - Posted on May 30, 2003 - 10:49:27   (#7496)

now all seem to work exept that i need to put a query in the Nerd dir so that the app can "load" the entry, but from there the app seem to treat that dir like all other.

That mean that to be able to have the light red i must delete the query from the Nerd dir. Would be fine it i would never have to reboot :) but each time i load the app i need to put the query in the Nerd dir before, and then delete them again.

It's as if the app was not able to filter that dir to ignore the query in it.

Cheers!

Re: Update problems

Ouch, apparently this release was a bit premature. The bug definitely exists, but is hard to trace. I'm working on it and a less clunky way to add queries, and will post up the results as soon as possible.

Replicant Update Problem?
 By ebor - Posted on May 24, 2003 - 08:23:44   (#7410)

Very neat little thing, and potentially very useful indeed. However, under the latest LocaleTracker 1.3.5 there appears to be an update problem.

I have set a query to monitor new emails from a certain person. When I set the email status to "new" from "read", QueryWatcher's replicant's color does not change to green until I "swipe" it with an object, eg a Tracker window. The same problem occurs vice versa. I use Beam for reading emails (which is probably not the reason for the problem, as Beam changes the Tracker attributes of the email instantly and apparently correctly).

If this can be solved/fixed, I'll have my first permanent DeskTop replicant.

Thansk for the great work!

don't seem to work for me

i get a green light even if the query have no result, as long as it's in the requested dir.

I can't get it to be red.

BGA's right

This will be an awesome app...
I think BeOS's filesytem (with the live queries, node monitoring, etc.) is one of its most powerful and most overlooked features. I've already got a few uses for this app.
Thanks!

This is cool.

Some apps are written in a moment of inpiration. This is one of them. :) One suggestion: Make the replicant View resize to the minimum possible size. I create a "New E-Mail" and the view was a lot bigger than it needed to be.
