NAME

kat - KDE application designed to index files.

SYNOPSIS

kat [ Qt-options ] [ KDE-options ] [ file ]

DESCRIPTION

Kat is a KDE application designed to index files.

Meta information, fulltext and thumbnails are extracted from documents, images, mp3 and other media allowing quick and accurate information retrieval.

Similar to the Windows application WhereIsIt, but also similar to Google Desktop Search, Kat is completely written in C++, using Qt3, KDE and KIO libraries.

The application is based on the extensible kfile plugin architecture of KDE in order to facilitate the creation of new media managers for emerging file formats.

Kat is the first KDE application using the new fulltext kfile plugins.

Information retrieval relies on the powerful SQLite3 embedded database engine.
