Autojump: some news!

lardon · 2009-04-10 11:29:40

Hi all,

You might remember autojump, which is a little tool I made which is a cd command that "learns" from your usage of the CLI. There's been significant progress since the last post:

1) We now support zsh completely, including autocompletion. I think this should please a number of people, give the number of zsh zealots in these forums

2) A user contributed a little applet which displays an icon in the notification area. The icon allows you to quickly open a terminal or file browser in the most used directories.

3) Performance has been improved by running the prompt command in the background.

The package is not up to date yet because I don't feel the features have been tested enough for a big release, but if you want to test and report bugs to the autojump forum (http://n2.nabble.com/autojump-f2340094.html), that would help a lot.

Github page for the project: http://wiki.github.com/joelthelion/autojump

For now all I can say is: WHOO it works

Why not upload an autojump-git pkg then?

I hope the official package will be updated soon. There is also a simple install script that works very well for people who don't want to wait. Anyways, if someone updates a git package, I will vote for it

Thanks for the contibution! Please post the PKGBUILD to AUR.

robmaloy · 2009-04-22 08:56:57

imho the dictionary should be saved after deleting dead directories

and maybe exclude /tmp/* as this will likely produce dead directories. but that's up to you.

great program! love it

That's definitely a bug... I don't really know how to fix it though. I will try to take a more in-depth look at it this week-end. Thanks for reporting!

robmaloy · 2009-04-25 12:59:23

just add the bold line

def match(path,pattern,path_dict,re_flags=0):
import re
if os.path.realpath(os.curdir)==path : return False
if re.search(pattern,"/".join(path.split('/')[-1-pattern.count('/'):]),re_flags) is None:
return False
else:
if os.path.exists(path) : return True
else: #clean up dead directories
del path_dict[path]
save(path_dict, dic_file)
return False

Well of course, that will work, but it will sync the file for every path it doesn't find..

right, that would be quite inefficient

I've added a fix, it's not the most elegant code, but it should work and be efficient:

robmaloy · 2009-04-27 13:46:16

you could also define constants, i.e.
MATCH_FOUND = 0
MATCH_NOTFOUND = 1
MATCH_DEADDIR = 2

which can be returned by match()

or when you stick to the global var, you have to add:

global dead_dirs

before CHANGING the value of dead_dirs in match()

Thanks, I really suck at writing python :-D It should be fixed now.
