> But they still lack the "alternate view" on your library. Those Walled Garden-Apps that work with librarys are more like a relational database, offering flexible selections and content-optimized views that filemanagers are normally lacking.
Thankfully, there are also full-text indexers like spotlight and tracker.
- PurpleRamen 8y agoHow good does that sync between devices?
- ori_b 8y agoIf you have access to the files on a device, it will index the files.
- PurpleRamen 8y agoYes, but that does not replicate the view and configuration. What about custom fields? How does that work with indexer? And how do they sync? The advantage of integrated solutions is that you have less work to replicate your workspace on a new device, often even no work at all. How well does that work with indexer? Spotlight does not even work indepedant of the platform, tracker is Gnome-ware, does it integrate with KDE or Non-KDE?
