Trigger new rules for metadata via UI

[Matthias84]

If we create new rules, they currently get only applied to new documents, or if we trigger a full scan via the CLI.
It would be nice, if we could apply a new rule to all documents. Even better, if we could delay the rescan, if we want to add more than just one new rule.

I think having a button to run document_retagger or some other managment commands would be really nice.
Logging into the console to run this is not really user-friendly.

Does this also apply to the automatic tagging feature? It would be nice if documents in the inbox would be retagged with the automatic tagging feature as it gets trained by feeding more documents to it.

Yes, the retagger takes auto matching into account.

Cool - thanks! It would be nice to have a button to start it in the GUI or maybe a task planned in the scheduler for it.

I know.

maybe a task planned in the scheduler for it.

That's actually a pretty neat idea. Have the re-tagger run on the inbox every day or so. That way, the inbox will dynamically update as you remove documents from the inbox and add correct metadata to them. This is actually possible with the current version, the configuration for this is just a little awkward.

How would I go about doing this?

document_retagger with the arguments alone in the scheduled tasks does not seem to work. What module to I have to specify?
