So if you have .foo.* and .bar.*, I would
mkdir foo
ln -rs .foo.* -t foo
I had forgotten I could make a maildir without initial . just as well -
thus removing the need for my silly prefix: with dot is a normal
maildir, without is a top-level Notmuch symlink container.
in notmuch jargon, the number of _messages_ does not increase but
rather the number of _files_.
That makes sense since, from what I read in notmuch-insert.c, the
messages are identified by message-id and therefore counted only once
however many times they are encountered during notmuch new.
so --remove-dups becomes
mandatory in any search query
Based on the name, I'd suspect "remove-dups" corresponds roughly to the
default behaviour of notmuch in reporting results.
Yes, though --duplicate=N is only supported with --output=files and
--output=messages, and it is not even appear the default there since {
NOTMUCH_OPT_INT, &ctx->dupe, "duplicate", 'D', 0 } in notmuch-search.c
Otherwise it does behaves as implicitly removing duplicates, which was
somewhat confusing me until I understood notmuch's conceptual
distinction between files and messages.
notmuch count not 'path:list/**'
and
notmuch count not 'path:list/**' and from:bremner
work as expected.
Indeed they do - both with notmuch and notmuch-mutt... I just had to
struggle a bit until I realized that my notmuch-mutt --output-dir is
inside the maildir indexed by notmuch... So the number of result and
duplicates varied according to what state the symlink results maildir
was in when I last indexed the whole thing...
Yes, I do need the --output-dir to be inside the maildir because the
IMAP server lets me have my search results in any MUA I happen to be
using (Thunderbird, K-9 or Outlook for example). And by the way, maybe
notmuch-mutt should be named notmuch-maildir or notmuch-symlinks : the
mutt part is just about setting the macros in ~/.muttrc - everything
else is generic to anything that can read a maildir.
So my indexing command is now :
notmuch tag +nmsearchresult 'path:.=Search/**' && notmuch new
With ~/.notmuch-config now containing:
[search]
exclude_tags=deleted;spam;nmsearchresult
And it works.
I would have prefered explicit folder inclusion/exclusion at query time
and path inclusion/exclusion at indexing time... But I guess I'll get
used to notmuch's logic of tagging everything and then using the tags.
Thank you for your kind guidance !
