I worked as a document scanner, and we had to have our files match some really
stupid formats.
With microsoft explorer, I was able get the dev environment up, find examples,
and create a column that I could sort by that was a regular expression search
on the name. I could create a column from the filename where I reordered the
date format to YYYYMMDD and then was able to sort nicely, and it happened
within an evening.
It would also be nice to be able to refer to a search index, or actually read
the file and grep each file searching the contents and counting the occurrences
of words. Basically, there could be a plugin system, or this feature could be a
custom column with meta data taken from a meta data library (to read resolution
of the image, compression type, number of pages in a pdf or tiff image) and
using a regex on the filename or filename contents.
This would appear as add custom tab, and there should be no limit to the number
of them. When a custom tab is added to the list of tabs, it can be edited, a
selection of metadata library, regex, or file search, or shell command. the
metadata library could populate a submenu with all the types of data.
bitrate,x pixels, y pixels ,inches,word count, signed date, there are so many
things this could be. there may be more than one metadata scraper.
We wouldn't even need to compile anything.
KDE has had cool regex searches in a few applications before, so that may
already have components ready.
Basically, this is an advanced col
