I was looking at the code, and I realized it is not actually as hard as that. Essentially the code of notmuch_database_find_message_by_filename needs to be wrapped in a PostingSource following the model of RegexpPostingSource (regexp-fields.cc). The fact that no database format changes (or even reindexing) are needed, makes this a much lower risk project. d _______________________________________________ notmuch mailing list -- notmuch@notmuchmail.org To unsubscribe send an email to notmuch-le...@notmuchmail.org
