So after some intense hacking we decided to make a screencast of Sezen…
It is heavily inspired by Unity and Shell and we hope it can act as a usability testing app until the both are out…
Just like Unity, it uses Zeitgeist and follows similar design concepts (thanks to David Siegel). It started evolving more after some intense hack + design sessions with DanRabbit (Elementary Project) + Jason Smith (Docky)
Here is an external viewing link
We do however intend to have a Tracker version of it upon release for benchmarking issues (As a side note we have a Zeitgeist extension that pushes into a custom Tracker branch that supports our “Zeitgeist Event Ontology” thanks to Codethink).
Upon release there will be support for FTS using the new Canonical sponsored FTS extension. The user will be able to choose to do so over our new Zeitgeist FTS extension or Tracker for the functionality.
We will host a sezen deb soon on the elementary ppa so stay tuned…
NOTE:
I WONT ADD LISTVIEWS… ITS JUST A SEXY SIMPLE SEARCH TOOL.

Now I see video action of it, this is absolutely terrific. You know that this practically makes GAJ obsolete? I don’t know if that’s your intention or not, but I use GAJ to find certain files in a chronological context; this makes the same process MUCH FASTER.
Quality work.

Yeah, it has it’s advantages over GAJ…
This is amazing. You guys rock.
Looks neat, but I see it is concatenating many of the filenames. Is it possible to expand to show whole filename when your mouse is over the filename?
Moving the date options to drop down arrows is a great improvement
@Ian, thanks for the flowers to the team
A quick note though on the borderline between Sezen and GAJ. GAJ shows the time embeddings of item usage much more precise than Sezen does. Consider the often recurring use case, that a user has to (unexpectedly) suspend his/her activities advancing a certain task. This phenomenon is due to interruptions. In that case, research shows that many users fail to keep the “task/activity state”. However this “state” information provides useful for task/activity resumption. The Zeitgeist logging allows to show the item group you used together in advancing your activity at a specific point in time – so the point, where you suspended/left your task. That item group can be seen as a group of externally represented “connection points” for resuming task work later on. The cool point with that item group is that it has been shown to facilitate users in mentally returning to their suspended task.
Hi!, I install today from PPA https://launchpad.net/~zeitgeist/+archive/ppa but now i don’t know how can use Sezen..can you said me where i found it?.Thank’s ;-p
what a nice shot, guys. keep up your great works!
i’ve been using it and i really like it. Now i’m trying to do a PKGBUILD for archlinux but i can’t, if you know how to do it i’ll be really grateful
