GWorkspace is a clone of the NeXT workspace manager with some added features as spatial viewing, an advanced database based search system, etc.
Currently
GWorkspace is a very stable application and can be
used
as your file manager for daily usage.
The GWorkspace User Guide by
Dennis Leeuw (dleeuw at
made-it dot com)
is available
here
The latest version of Gworkspace can be
downloaded here.
cd into the GWorkspace source directory and:
./configure
make
make install
Sqlite is needed only needed if GWMetadata is enabled through --enable-gwmetadata.
Thus with version 0.8.8 SQLite is no longer a hard dependency.
GWMetadata is the metadata indexing and search system which includes
the live folders functionality.
If you are on Linux and want to use the new inotify-based fswatcher,
you can pass --with-inotify to configure.
To enable all the GWorkspace features you need also:
- The PDFKit framework (version >= 0.9).
Currently it is available only as CVS check-out in the GNUstep
Application Project. A release is almost ready.
PDFKit is needed to build the pdf contents inspector and to extract
metadata from pdf files.
- System Preferences If you install the GWMetadata system, SystemPreferences is needed to configure it.
The current maintainer is
Riccardo Mottola.

GWorkspace now is maintaned by the GNUstep community.
