fsrunner for KRunner
Source (link to git-repo or to original if based on someone elses unmodified work): Add the source-code for this project on opencode.net
FSRunner is a kde runner, the idea is to give you instant access to any file or directory you need. As a lot of time is spend walking through directories, you should never need to walk through 8 directories to get to a location you already know where is.
The homepage at http://code.google.com/p/fsrunner/ has a howto with pictures.
Example usage: you can configure it to scan $HOME, with a depth of 3, and ignore files. And then scan Desktop, with a depth of 1, and include files there. If you have the file Desktop/TODO, you can then write todo in krunner and it will find that file. It also allows using * in searches.
If you've had the action system enabled at all, let me know here or in the bug tracker and I'll get it to usable state. I know it's broken, but I've been busy and I know nobody who uses it.
PLEASE report all problems on http://code.google.com/p/fsrunner/issues/list , if you dont tell me it's broken I can't fix it.
Please vote me up, OR tell me how this isn't practical to you. Because at this point I can't live without it.

Been far too busy for far too long. Atleast getting critical bugfixes now!
Fix bug causing crashes when conflicting with other krunner plugins.

I think you should try to include it in SC!
Great thanks for updating it (it kept me away from 4.9)

I recently switched from 4.5 to 4.9 and found fsrunner to cause krunner to crash very often. I can't work well withour this item, please fix it and bring it back!

My only major complaint is the lack of a user-configurable ability to exclude directories. I have one directory with about one million books stored each as a text file with its name as a title, so I tend to get lots of these in results, sometimes getting in the way. I've had to game the system a little and fiddle with exact depths and priorities to get these guys out of the way.
Otherwise, great work! I agree that this should be in KDE by default. Not acceptable to have this essential feature included in Windows but not in KDE! Nepomuk isn't up to the task yet, at least not until the KRunner search does common-sense things like listing filename matches before content matches (sometimes I can't even get it to list filename matches at all).

One more comment: it seems to me that the search matches only the beginning of the filename, it would be great if it could match arbitrary substrings.

It'd increase your chances of getting it fixed a lot if you build it in debug mode and get me a console output of that as well. See build-debug.sh, it's in the svn tree.
Please note that I'm working a lot of hours lately, so excuse the delay on replies/lack of updates.

Fsrunner also has some limitations, especially with symlinks, that I'd like to see fixed before inclusion.
You might want to feature request this kind of feature, and then link them to fsrunner for inspiration/code.
