Basenji Key Features:

• Clean, Straightforward GUI
  Basenji's GUI is easy to use and only exposes
  functionality that really matters.


• Powerful XESAM End User Search Language (superset)
  Search files using queries like e.g.:
  "holiday and type=image and filesize > 1MB"
  
  See http://xesam.org/main/XesamUserSearchLanguage for details.


• Audio CD Support
  Besides indexing of filesystem volumes,
  Basenji also supports indexing of audio cds.


• Metadata Extraction
  Metadata like image dimensions or MP3 tags
  is extracted from files automatically.


• Thumbnail Creation
  Miniature pictures of media and document files
  (e.g. video, images, PDF) are created if desired.


• Modular, Extensible Software Architecture
  Basenji's code base is split up in several modules
  (GUI, database API, platform specific code)
  and makes extensive use of modern OO concepts,
  resulting in increased maintainability/extensibility
  and reusable code.


• Crossplatform
  Basenji can be compiled on many platforms.
  Linux and Windows builds are available already.
