[Tracker] add Package field to Info window

[diver]

It would be nice to be able to identify from which package a particular file came from. For instance you're in /bin and you wan't to understand which package a certain binary belongs to. Currently there's no (easy) way to do that and Info window seems to be a logical place to get this information from. Make it clickable so it gets selected in Tracker window.

There's a non-easy way:

~> catattr SYS:PACKAGE_FILE /bin/notify 
/bin/notify : string : haiku-r1~alpha4_pm_hrev46847-1-x86_gcc2.hpkg

[bonefish]

And an easy way:

~> findpaths -p /bin/notify B_FIND_PATH_PACKAGE_PATH
/boot/system/packages/haiku-r1~alpha4_pm_hrev46831-1-x86.hpkg

The Tracker feature can be easily implemented using the BPathFinder API which is also used by findpaths.

How about having an additional Tracker column disabled by default? This way it would be possible to sort files by package.

Moving Tracker enhancement tickets out of R1 milestone -- Tracker's source code comes from BeOS R5, so it already has all the features it did on R5.

I will take a look at this, and maybe also adding the column as diver suggested. I am still learning my way around Tracker, but so far, so good.

Hi,

Rather than showing just this specific thing, I would say the Info window should have an extra tab listing all the attributes of the file. This will include the SYS:PACKAGE_FILE mentionned above and also a lot more info about the file.

I think this would be more generic and useful in other cases as well.

+1 to another tab with a list of all attributes (though that'd be an extra ticket...)

IMO, the clickable path to the origin package is useful enough to warrant an entry on the 1st tab.

Done in hrev53405.

Assign tickets with status=closed and resolution=fixed within the R1/beta2 development window to the R1/beta2 Milestone
