Fix the things that are causing the most pain to new users
|
|
----------------------------------------------------------
|
|
1. A new import is tagging all messages as "inbox" -- total pain
|
|
|
|
2. Allow an easy way to get tags from directory names (if the user has them)
|
|
|
|
3. Allow an easy way to remove excess tags, (date-based search)
|
|
|
|
4. Make emacs fast for big search results (see "lazy searching" below)
|
|
|
|
5. Fix Xapian defect #250 so tagging is fast.
|
|
|
|
Emacs interface (notmuch.el)
|
|
----------------------------
|
|
Add a command to archive all threads in a search view.
|
|
|
|
Lazy searching: call "notmuch search" with --first and --max to fill
|
|
just a screenful of results, and then fill in more as ther user pages
|
|
through the buffer.
|
|
|
|
Add a '|' binding from the search view.
|
|
|
|
Add a binding to run a search from notmuch-show-mode.
|
|
|
|
Portability
|
|
-----------
|
|
Fix configure script to test each compiler warning we want to use.
|
|
|
|
Implement strndup locally (or call talloc_strndup instead).
|
|
|
|
Implement getline locally, (look at gnulib).
|
|
|
|
Completion
|
|
----------
|
|
Fix bash completion to complete multiple search options (both --first
|
|
and *then* --max-threads), and also complete value for --sort=
|
|
(oldest-first or newest-first).
|
|
|
|
notmuch command-line tool
|
|
-------------------------
|
|
Teach "notmuch search" to return many different kinds of results. Some
|
|
ideas:
|
|
|
|
notmuch search --for threads # Default if no --for is given
|
|
notmuch search --for messages
|
|
notmuch search --for tags
|
|
notmuch search --for addresses
|
|
notmuch search --for terms
|
|
|
|
Add a "--format" option to "notmuch search", (something printf-like
|
|
for selecting what gets printed).
|
|
|
|
Add a "--count-only" (or so?) option to "notmuch search" for returning
|
|
the count of search results.
|
|
|
|
Give "notmuch restore" some progress indicator. Until we get the
|
|
Xapian bugs fixed that are making this operation slow, we really need
|
|
to let the user know that things are still moving.
|
|
|
|
Fix notmuch.c to call add_timestamp/get_timestamp with path names
|
|
relative to the database path. (Otherwise, moving the database to a
|
|
new directory will result in notmuch creating new timestamp documents
|
|
and leaving stale ones behind.)
|
|
|
|
Ensure that "notmuch new" is sane if its first, giant indexing session
|
|
gets interrupted, (that is, ensure that any results indexed so far are
|
|
flushed).
|
|
|
|
Fix notmuch.c to use a DIR prefix for directory timestamps, (the idea
|
|
being that it can then add other non-directory timestamps such as for
|
|
noting how far back in the past mail has been indexed, and whether it
|
|
needs to re-tag messages based on a theoretical "auto-tags"
|
|
configuration file).
|
|
|
|
Make "notmuch new" notice when a mail directory has gone more than a
|
|
month without receiving new mail and use that to trigger the printing
|
|
of the note that the user might want to mark the directory read-only.
|
|
|
|
Also make "notmuch new" optionally able to just mark those month-old
|
|
directories read-only on its own. (Could conflict with low-volume
|
|
lists such as announce lists if they are setup to deliver to their own
|
|
maildirs.)
|
|
|
|
notmuch library
|
|
---------------
|
|
Add support for files that are moved or deleted (which obviously need
|
|
to be handled differently).
|
|
|
|
Actually compile and install a libnotmuch shared library.
|
|
|
|
Fix to use the *last* Message-ID header if multiple such headers are
|
|
encountered, (I noticed this is one thing that kept me from seeing the
|
|
same message-ID values as sup).
|
|
|
|
Add support for the user to specify custom headers to be indexed.
|
|
|
|
Add support for automatic tagging of new messages based on particular
|
|
search criteria, (likely using an InMemory database for the new
|
|
messages).
|
|
|
|
General
|
|
-------
|
|
Audit everything for dealing with out-of-memory (and drop xutil.c).
|
|
|
|
Write a test suite.
|
|
|
|
Achieve 100% test coverage with the test suite.
|
|
|
|
Investigate why the notmuch database is slightly larger than the sup
|
|
database for the same corpus of email.
