Basenji – A portable volume indexer
Sponsored Link
Basenji has been developed with platform independency in mind right from the start and presently consists of a GTK+ GUI frontend and a reusable library backend (VolumeDB) that implements the actual indexing, searching and database logic.
Basenji Key Features
* Clean, Straightforward GUI
Basenji's GUI is easy to use and only exposes
functionality that really matters.
* Powerful XESAM End User Search Language (superset)
Search files using queries like e.g.:
"holiday and type=image and filesize > 1MB"
* Audio CD Support
Besides indexing of filesystem volumes,
Basenji also supports indexing of audio cds.
* Metadata Extraction
Metadata like image dimensions or MP3 tags
is extracted from files automatically.
* Thumbnail Creation
Miniature pictures of media and document files
(e.g. video, images, PDF) are created if desired.
* Modular, Extensible Software Architecture
Basenji's code base is split up in several modules
(GUI, database API, platform specific code)
and makes extensive use of modern OO concepts,
resulting in increased maintainability/extensibility
and reusable code.
* Crossplatform
Basenji can be compiled on many platforms.
Linux and Windows builds are available already.
