[Bug 685828] Re: Enhance applications usage logging.

 

As for Synapse, we plan exactly what you suggest. :)

** Description changed:

+ Synapse task:
+ =============
+ 
  Thanks for logging used apps into Zeitgeist! It's one thing I always
  missed in Zeitgeist.It's a pity it doesn't do it with items launched
  from gnome-main-menu or others.
  
  Anyway here are some ideas. I assume you already have plans to explore
  that feature, so I may repeat your ideas.
- 
- Apps are logged under "Unknown". It would be nice to log it under
- "Applications" or "Synapse", the former being better, maybe in the
- future Zeitgeist could place there Applications used through other way
- different than Synapse.
- 
- Another thing, if I run Activity Journal and press on those logged
- items, synapse launches, instead of the application.
  
  Also, it would be very nice if those apps appeared under the
  "Applications" tabs in Synapse. For example, if I launch Syanpse and
  right away I press "down" under the Internet "tab", I see the last
  logged webpages. Same could be done for the "Applications" tabs. I also
  guess that using Zeitgeist to log app usage can be helpful to let
  Synapse make better choices and remember what we last launched.
  
  Again, I assume you thought of some (or all) of these ideas. Hope at
  least one is new :)
  
  Thanks for such a nice launcher, it replaced my other choices in 1
  minute.

+ 
+ Currently apps as logged the same way libzg-gio-module logs them: actor
+ is launcher, subject uri is launched app (application://xyz.desktop),
+ interpretation: NFO_SOFTWARE, manifestation: NFO_SOFTWARE_ITEM (event
+ int: ACCESS_EVENT, event man: USER_ACTIVITY).
