Consider this scenario:
John works from 9 to 5 on his system and works with hundreds of CAD files as a
part of his job. From 5 pm onwards its leisure time for him when he would like
to hear some songs. (He follows this routine everyday). But still, the recent
documents section in Gnome-shell is filled with CAD files. Now he has to use
nautilus or use zeitgeist to bookmark, tag, filter and find.
Again the next day when he begins his work at 9 am the Gnome-shell recent doc
is now filled with songs list. So the Gnome-shell is not really helpful for him
some times. In fact, its turning out to be counter productive for him sometimes.
Most of our activities are time based and routine and the Gnome-shell should be
dynamic and flexible in this regard.
So we need a time based profiles to track used files (track files accessed
during a specified time period in a day). We can use a separate profile for
time 9 to 5 which we can name it as office/work. After 5 pm leisure etc. Its
better to have timed profiles like this so we can access files we really need
at that point of time. Of course, the timed profiles should change
automatically, but switching profiles manually should also be allowed in case
(like Sundays, when no work is done by our John)
Zeitgeist will not serve this purpose as its better suited for searching files
and generally deals with larger time frame and is good for random searches.
