Last February during the Zeitgeist hackfest my former GSoC student Michal Hruby convinced me to hack a dash for gedit (it was for gedit 2 sadly) that looked like this…
Today based on the mockups of my previous post i rewrote it to work with the latest gedit. Its 90% working now but I am …

However we have a workaround to retrieve the history out of a folder and inform Zeitgeist about it. Simply download the following script

After writing a script to clean up my Zeitgeist DB (not deleting events), optimizing an FTS issue and vacuuming, my 2 Zeitgeist processes now uses around 12 MB with normal usage (logging everything and using Synapse) and Docky… I will look into the 64 Bit issue soon, but with 32 Bit I hope this stays …
