nnir and move

nnir and move

[Richard Riley]

Can nnir search results from imap please support article move? Frequently
I want to search my INBOX and then mass move all the results to another
label/group.

Also, how does one filter the inbox for an author without needing to
fetch all messages first into that group? .eg "/ a" only filters the
messages you have prefetched.

nnir could implement -request-move and -request-accept, I guess, and
send those on to the "real" backends?

What about the filtering of the inbox not using nnir? Do I need to enter
the group and tell it to fetch and format thousands of messages and then
use /a to find all articles by someone? I think I have missed something
as this would seem odd.

Should be easy enough if the summary buffer contains articles from a
single group, but would this work with multiple groups in the summary
buffer?

Doesn't nnir keep track of what groups the messages come from?

Yes it does. I just wasn't sure that 'request-move-article would do the
right thing.

And it does, more or less. Several annoyances, the most severe of which
is the registry, which gets the from-group being nnir rather than the
real group. I know nothing about the registry---before I poke around
maybe Ted can see some way to fix this?

Oops, I think there is nothing to fix. The registry doesn't track where
the message comes from but only where its going? Then there shouldn't be
a problem...

Yeah.  Although in a move it needs to know the source so it can delete
that from the list of groups for the article.  So you'll end up with
stale knowledge in the registry.  I can special-case nnir in the hooks
or you can wrap the move in

(let ((gnus-original-source-group-for-move "xyz")) ...)

WDYT?

I've done it with a let. I'll push a patch shortly.

There is a another problem. nnir (intentionally) mangles the subject to
add something like "[10:mail/3390] " at the front of the subject (this
is [retrieval_score:real_group_name/real_article_number] ). Obviously we
would like to remove it from the subject stored in the registry. I think
the simplest solution would be to modify gnus-registry-simplify-subject
to take care of it before it calls gnus-simplify-subject.

Assuming this OK with you, I'll push it.

Cheers,
andy

Could you use nnir-original-group and nnir-original-subject in the let
you said you would do?  I'll make the names more general if anyone else
needs it but I was thinking this way it's clear that it's a nnir
requirement.

That way the registry will not care what nnir does to the subject or
group name, it will just take the originals from the let-bound
variables.

In fact I'm thinking about a different way (but this might not be best
way):


1. nnir ends up replacing the parsed header with a new one, so the
original subject isn't available anymore, but its easy enough to get
back with a simple string-match. And the only place the original subject
is used is in the registry, which is why I thought that it was best to
just modify gnus-registry-simplify-subject to:

(defun gnus-registry-simplify-subject (subject)
  (if (stringp subject)
      (progn
	(string-match "^\\[[0-9]+:.+/[0-9]+\\] " subject)
	(setq subject (substring subject (match-end 0)))
	(gnus-simplify-subject subject))
    nil))


2. As for the original newsgroup name, I am trying to avoid anything
nnir specific outside the nnir.el file. Its also possible that
other/future virtual backends might want to do something similar so I've
tried an approach that won't require special-casing. The trick is to
pass the original newsgroup name back in to gnus-summary-move-article. I
think this is easy---just introduce a let-bound variable
gnus-original-newsgroup-name initialized to gnus-newsgroup-name and let
the backend-specific 'request-move-article replace it as needed. So only
a few lines of changes and no need for nnir-specific code.


Sorry for being so wordy, and let me know if I'm off-base.  Here is the
proposed patch.

I don't like this: it will fail if a user has that subject accidentally.
Better to get the original unambigously as we get the group.

OK, but the variable should not be defined in nnir.el.  I would define
`gnus-original-article-group' and `gnus-original-article-subject' in
gnus.el.

OK. Since these only get changed in the summary buffer I'd like to make
them `gnus-summary-original-whatever' and put them in gnus-sum.el.

Patch shortly.

Hi,

2010-11-11  Andrew Cohen  <cohen@andy.bu.edu>
[...]
 * gnus-sum.el (gnus-summary-move-article): Use original group and
 subject for virtual articles such as those in an nnir summary buffer.

This change broke the function of copying or moving two or more
articles.  When typing `B c' for marked articles in a group, I got:

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (error "Selecting deleted buffer")
  gnus-summary-move-article(nil nil nil copy)
  gnus-summary-copy-article(nil)
  call-interactively(gnus-summary-copy-article nil nil)

It is because of the present structure of `while' loop:

  (let ((copy-buf (save-excursion
                    (nnheader-set-temp-buffer " *copy article*"))))
    ...
    (while articles
      ....
      (gnus-kill-buffer copy-buf)))

It was:

  (let ((copy-buf (save-excursion

    ...
    (while articles

Sorry to revive this old thread. The last time we discussed this I
thought that the let wrapping was the way to go, but in retrospect I'm
pretty sure I was wrong. Special-casing nnir in the hooks seems better.

I changed my mind when trying to incorporate article deletion in
nnir. The problem arises when deleting more than one article at a
time. Ordinarily all the articles in a summary buffer come from a single
group, but this isn't necessarily true in an nnir
buffer. gnus-summary-delete-article deletes all the articles in a batch
(no problem here since it just calls nnir-request-delete-article) but
then goes through the deleted articles one by one to update the
registry. So it's not easy to pass the original article group through
the let mechanism when different articles come from different groups.

Hm.  That's a sticky problem, yes.  It does sound like special-casing is
needed.  I don't think the other "virtual" servers allow deletion or
anything else, so the Gnus methods in this area probably do the wrong
thing.

On the other hand, perhaps nnir itself should just do the stuff that
Gnus does wrt. the registry.

Right. How about the following:

Add gnus-summary-article-delete-hook (and -move-hook) to
gnus-summary-local-variables (these are the hooks the registry uses to
do its thing). Then nnir can override them in nnir groups and deal with
the registry stuff itself. This should be really easy and means all the
nnir-specific stuff is confined to nnir.el.

OK, I just pushed it. And, I just noticed that I foolishly pushed
hundreds of lines or reindented code since I removed a let. The

Haha, I'm not the only one to do it :)

Thanks for working on this and all the other nnir.el code.  It has
improved Gnus search immensely.

Re: nnir and move

[Richard Riley]

Worked like a charm (nnir->nnimap move)! Many thanks. Now I'm not so
concerned about not seemingly having the ability to search a group by
author/body etc without first having to fetch and format thousands of
messages.

Thanks once again - very useful!

nnir and move

[Andrew Cohen]

I've pushed a change that adds the ability to move articles from the
nnir summary buffer. This just calls the underlying backend to do the
move.

I have successfully moved about a half-dozen messages, and its hard to
see what could go wrong. But since this is the first time that nnir
makes any real changes to underlying messages, I would suggest testing
on messages you don't mind losing (if something goes wrong) might be
prudent.
