Deskbar Applet

Beagle returning news feeds snippets

Beagle returning documents with snippets.

Some beagle and evolution action.

Type a filename in your home dir, like ~/Report.pdf or foo/bar.txt, and you can open that file with the associated applications. Also works with directories.

Type an email address or website name, and you can write a new mail, or surf the website with associated apps.

Type some terms and it will search through all available programs (the .desktop files). Try for example "text" and you are presented with gvim and gedit, type music and you get rhythmbox, muine banshee and other apps like that, you can then launch the program

Terms are also matched against mozilla/firefox/epiphany bookmarks, so if you have a bookmark for Entagged Website, typing entagged will offer you to launch the browser to that address.

deskbar-applet will also use your smart bookmarks wisely. type a search term ("steve" for example), you are then presented a list of smart bookmarks to use with the entered term. I have a Gnome Bugs bookmark in epiphany, that i use with bug numbers, i can enter a number in deskbar-applet and select the "Search Gnome Bugs for 10000" entry and be there. Same with google for example. This stuff will soon work with firefox, allowing to use its search engines.

And you can also get rid of mini-commander applet, since typing a program name allows you to open it directly
