Archivarius

<< < (6/12) > >>

Darwin:
Thanks superboyac. I'm getting off my lazy rear and downloading archivarius and will give it a try.

app103:
Would anybody happen to know a free desktop search that can handle Zinio Reader files? (and maybe .djvu and .lit files too?)

I have about 3 gigs worth of Zinio files, so that would be a fantastic feature to have.  I would like to try a free application first, if possible.

f0dder:
Notice that it was estimated size, I didn't let it index yet. 300gig code would be ludicruous, source code isn't extremely big. Dunno how much source I do have lying around, locate32 is acting up a bit on my attempt to find out :).

I guess one of the big sinners is the massive amount of .chm and .pdf ebooks I have lying around.

Darwin:
I downloaded and installed it and let it index a bunch of folders (not my whole My Documents folder, mind you...) and my Outlook pst files. The intial estimated index size for indexing everything was 14 GB! However, paring things down (I run exifPro so removed my 15GB My Pictures folder, for example) got the estimated index size down to 2.8GB. However, the final index size was 398MB, which is about the same size as the Copernic Index. I'll say this: WOW! It's fast - X1 and Copernic drove me crazy in that both of them took a while to display previews of found files (in some cases a LONG while). Archivarius seems to be very light on resources, too. For instance, Outlook was being idiotic about warning me about a program trying to access it and putting the breaks on indexing. Eventually, after I managed to miss one such dialog Archivarius reported an error and stopped indexing at 81%. I'm completing my base index and it's using almost no (0-2%) CPU, 11MB of RAM and 45MB of VM/Private bytes. This contrasts with X1/Copernic which were good for much, much more resource hogging... I'm going to play with this for a few days but I think it's a keeper (and I qualify for an academic licence - yippee!).

superboyac:
Glad you like it Darwin.  It just feels like a good program, doesn't it?  The more I use it, the nicer it actually gets.  If I ever need an indexer, this is definitely the one I'll get...at least for now.  It's still amazing how little coverage this app has on the internet.  There's nothing!
