Gnome Activity Journal Gets A New Look

By , Published January 5, 2010

GNOME Activity Journal, along with the engine that powers it ‘Zeitgeist‘, both of which will form part of the forthcoming GNOME 3, has been gifted with a very awesome new look.

Hold on, GNOME Activity€¦ What?!
The GNOME Activity Journal wiki describes the application as:

"…a tool for easily browsing and finding files on your computer. It uses Zeitgeist to get information on what files/websites/contacts/etc. you worked with and Tracker to get information about the current state of the files and all sorts of meta-data (including tags). "

Say you worked on a Document last Monday, but you can’t remember what it was called. No problem – open up teh activity Journal and navigate to ‘Monday’ and you’ll see a list of various things you did. Narrow it down to ‘documents’ and et voila! You found it!

New Look
The news today is that GAJ has gotten a really sexy makeover! Developer Seif Lofty posted the following screenshot of it €“ yes, not a mock-up – on his blog earlier: –

For reference here's what it looked like before: -

    Oh my. I’m incredibly impressed, which doesn’t normally happen with a Linux GUI (sad but true). How do I do a search though?

      Same question here :S

        The UI’s not finished yet. The code for the search is there, but they haven’t figured out how to put it in the UI yet.

    Where are the improvements? Certainly not in the abilities to fastly discriminate file. Far easier to do it with the old GUI and even more easier if the number of files increases.

    any chance to get an early release of this, or in an install.

    Mock-up still looks way better to me and has more going on, including a ‘calendar-timeline’ view, nicer arrow and plus sign and monochromatic icons :P

    Otherwise, I still like older implementation so far.
