This is a small experiment with a recoll kio_slave A kio_slave was implemented, supporting the "get" operation. Ie, you type "recoll: some query terms" in the Konqueror address window, and you receive a list of results, each with a link to the document. This does not appear terribly useful as such, especially because I couldn't think of a way to get access to email documents (especially those inside a multi-msg file) from Konqueror. The Recoll preview feature is actually quite useful in this case. Implementation notes: ----------------------- - Not using libtool. Probably should. compilation flags in the Makefile were copy-pasted from a kdebase compilation tree on FreeBSD (kio/man). - You MUST install a kio_recoll.la in lib/kde3 along with kio_recoll.so, else kdeinit won't be able to load the lib (probably uses the libltdl crap?). The one in this directory was duplicated/adjusted from kio_man.la - The current implementation always tries to retrieve 100 docs (doesn't even stop if there are less). It would probably be easy to add state and previous/next buttons. As I didn't find this thing to be particularly useful, I didn't bothered to. - Also would need a page header, configuration polish etc... Not done for the same reason, this is a proof of concept. - If you want to try, compile, then install kio_recoll.la kio_recoll.so wherever kde keeps its plugins (ie: lib/kde3), and recoll.protocol in the services directory (share/services ? look for other .protocol file). - I saw after doing the build/config mockup that kdevelop can generate a kio_slave project. This would certainly be the next thing to do.
