| Summary | 0001107: cleaning the publication process | ||||
| Description | Publishing files is currently the main use of GNUnet. So it should as quick and as clear as possible. Some ideas to make it better (just ideas...): * when indexing, files should be copied to the 'shared' directory if: - the client is running on another machine, and the file isn't available locally - it's on a removable disk/a nfs share - the users ask for it (an option in the panel ?) In all cases, we should ask the user before copying files to the 'shared' dir. * we should not insert automatically when indexing fails, but show a dialog, explain why it failed, how to possibly resolve this and ask to insert * when publishing recursively, keywords found by libextractor for many of the non-toplevel files should be added to the metadata dialog (this could apply if more than half of the files were using this keyword...): at the moment, no info is given automatically for the top-level dir, so you have to type them manually, which nobody will do -> GNUnet dirs will not be findable, they won't be useful at all * keywords given by users for the top-level dir should be added to the child files (via an option ?): for now, you can't publish several files in one time if libextractor doesn't find all the needed keywords * error messages should be printed to a message dialog, not to the status bar * a list of indexed files is needed (of course ;-) ) | ||||
| Additional Information | Currently, the indexing process seems a little buggy: I get a message telling me indexing failed, so insertion is tried, and the file is copied to 'shared' though. | ||||

"We should not insert automatically when indexing fails, but show a dialog, explain why it failed, how to possibly resolve this and ask to insert" Well, we don't show a dialog yet, but we do give an error message saying indexing fails suggesting insertion (but don't do it automatically anymore). |

Here is another request along these lines: https://gnunet.org/drupal/node/342#comment-875 |

The process of cleaning the publication process should also include automatic distinction of the fact if the user publishes a directory or file. It could look like this: The options in gnunet-qt and gnunet-gtk to choose whether one wants to publish "file only" or "recursive" are completely removed. Instead, it is detected if a directory or file has been chosen. This would ease the users workload a bit. |
|
|
Sadly, that's not possible, because the file selector dialog needs to know whether you're supposed to choose a folder or a file. At least in GTK+. |
|
|
gnunet-fs can as of 17979 be used to list all indexed files. So I think all of the key points of this report should have been addressed. |
