Today marks the release of Ubuntu Gutsy Gibbon. One brand new feature of gutsy is that tracker, a desktop indexer like google dektop, runs by default. Tracker also supports taxonomy for your files and folders but this feature is not yet integrated into gnome. But wait…you can have it anyway in a few simple steps:
- Install python-nautilus package:
sudo aptitude install python-nautilus
- Download “Tags-Tab”-Extension and move it to .nautilus/python-extensions (you may have to creat this folder)
- Restart Nautilus:
Alt+F2 and type in killall nautilus
Now you can start tagging files and folders. Simply right-click on the item you want to tag, go to the “Tag”-tap and insert your tags.
- Setup Searchfolders
In order to have your tagged items on your hand when ever you need them, simply go to nautilus click on the search button and type:
tag:[tagname]
Then go to File->Save search…
Voila, now you can start reorganizing your desktop with tags. I “implemented” some sort of GTD-System with a “next”-tag for files I want to work on in the next days.
Update 29.10.07: User if this did not work for you, you should try to make both the .py and .pyc files in the
extensions directory executable.

KIYOSHI HIRABAYASHI v. UNITED STATES, 320 U.S. 81 (1943)
320 U.S. 81
KIYOSHI HIRABAYASHIv.
UNITED STATES.
No. 870.
Argued May 10, 11, 1943.
Decided June 21, 1943.
At the core of Google’s phone efforts is an operating system for mobile phones that will be based on open-source Linux software, according to industry executives familiar with the project.
In addition, Google is expected to develop mobile versions of its applications that go well beyond the mobile search and map software it offers today. Those applications may include a Web browser to run on cellphones.
While Google has built phone prototypes to test its software and show off its technology to manufacturers, the company is not likely to make the phones itself, according to analysts.
In short, Google is not creating a gadget to rival the iPhone, but rather creating software that will be an alternative to Windows Mobile from Microsoft and other operating systems, which are built into phones sold by many manufacturers. And unlike Microsoft, Google is not expected to charge phone makers a licensing fee for the software.
