I have a nice idea for konqueror

[Anirudh Sanjeev]

Hi,

In response to the query of tracking the file usage. I don't think we need
to worry about gnome/gtk apps or command line. And the last thing we need to
worry about is the logs of the filesystem/last accessed counter, cause we're
not worried about which files are opened, we're worried about which files
the *user* wants to open. So if someone opens through the command line or
through gtk, we are really not worried about it, cause he/she probably likes
it the way it is. Also this is a huge privacy concern as someone can find
out where the person is going around, so we should have "disable tracking in
subdirectories" or something.

But coming back to the initial concept, the system should just log the
folder open and the file opened to analyze for trends.

This is all part of a bigger idea I'm forming in my head for an application
that keeps changing itself based on user interactions. More on that much
later.

regards
Anirudh Sanjeev
