- Avoid having to pass the khoj_sample.yml data file into pip, native apps
- Packaging data files into python packages is annoying.
- There's `MANIFEST.in`, `data_files` and `package_data` in setup.py
- Bdist, wheel, generated source tarball use different set of these fields
and put the data files in different locations
- Rather just code the default config into a constant. Avoid
pointless file reads as well this way
- Assume path is absolute in yaml util module while saving, loading file
- This follows same convention as jsonl. Which just operates on
passed file path, assuming it is of appropriate form.
Responsibility to put it in appropriate form is on the caller, for now
- Include khoj_sample.yml in pip package to load default config from
- Create khoj config directory if it doesn't exist
- Load config from khoj_sample.yml if khoj.yml config doesn't exist
## Purpose
Simplify Installing and Configuring Khoj
## Details
- **Create Native Desktop Interface**
- **Add System Tray** to provide background interface for user to
- Open Search Interface
- Configure App
- **Create Configure Screen**
- Simplify configuring Khoj
- Specify content type to enable Khoj for
- Automatically show configure screen on First Run
- Manually invoke configure screen from System Tray
- **Wrap Khoj into a `.app` for MacOS** using `PyInstaller`
- Create pyinstaller `.spec` file using `Pyinstaller`
- Generate `.app` for MacOS using `pyinstaller Khoj.spec`
- Hopefully can get a `.exe` for Windows, `.deb` for Debians etc soon, once can check on an actual machine
- **Modularize Khoj** further
- Extract controllers/routes into a separate `routes.py` module
- Extract global, shared app state into a separate `state.py` module
- Extract configuration into a separate `configure.py` module
- Put Desktop Interface Qt Components under `interface/desktop`
Resolves#56
Conflicts:
- src/main.py
- router functions have moved to router
- move logic to handle null query perf timer variables into
router.py
- set main.py to current branch, not master
- If a user manually edits the input file lines, clicking start should
use that. Currently it just looks at the files selected last via file
browser
- We want to allow users to manually enter file paths in field. Which
is why the field hasn't been set to read-only
- Track current (saved/loaded) config separate from the new config (to
be written) when user clicks Start
- Fallback to using default config when no config for the specific
content type or processor is specified in khoj.yml
- Earlier were only loading default config on first run, not after
- Create Child CheckBox, LineEdit classes for Processor Widgets
- Create ProcessorType, similar to SearchType
- Track ProcessorType the widgets are associated with
- Simplify update, save, load of config based on type
- Update configuration to use by the backend, while app is running
- Trigger after user hits start button with their config.
The config gets written to khoj.yml file first, then the updated
config is loaded onto memory
- Decouple configuring backend from starting server.
Backend search and processors can be configured after the backend
server has started
- Set global state in main instead of in configure_server method.
This allows the app to start even if configure_server exits early in
the first run scenario, where no config available to configure server
- Now start server, even if no config, before GUI started in main
- This refactor of app startup flow will allow users to configure
backend using the configure screen after server start
- Only pass processor config arg required by configure_processor. Not
the unused full config object
- Type arguments passed to methods configure processors
- Import json for use by conversation processor to load logs
- Results get priority screen real estate
- Allows quick speed key based traversal of results as cursor
on switching to buffer is at top level heading
- E.g C-x o n n o 2 jumps to entry in actual file of second result
- Unlike before when it is at the #+STARTUP org buffer customization
settings
- Only allow adding files with appropriate file extension for each search type
- e.g .org for org-mode search, directory for image search
- Extract file paths added to config and enablement state of each search type
- This extracted state will be used to populate the khoj.yml config file
- Simplifies the configure screen layout and allows it to be of constant width
- It was buggy, the configure screen would dynamically expand but not
restore back to original size on disabling search type after enable
- Follow convention, two hyphens indicate variable private to library
- Defcustom are user configurable variables. So they should have single -
- Use khoj-results-count variable directly in code
