I seem to have gtkdialog2 and gxmessage. So maybe something else is incompatible. It appears to run, just when you do a search it doesn't actually search. And the icons are missing - but that doesn't matter

Could it be that 1.x use busybox instead of bash. Busybox-find could be stripped compared to the full bash-find.

When push search-button pfind builds a find-command in /tmp/pfind-execfind. Look at this file, and try to run in a terminal.

Version 0.9 is uploaded. See main post.

find -P "/" -maxdepth 100 -user root -size +0k -size -1000M -iname "*don*"
returns:
find: invalid predicate `-P'
If I remove the -P, I get
find: invalid -size type `M'
If I remove the size thing it works (incredibly quickly too!)

I'm not sure what all this means, but according to the packages list I have
bash-3.0 and busybox-1.01.

If it is easy, you might want to add an error message to your gui, as it just says it hasn't found any files, when presumably it didn't even search - sometime someone will have problems because something is broken in their install; it won't just help crazy people like me that try to run new programs in old OSs.

First. You are not using version 0.8. Version 0.8 and 0.9 has a different output, but still the -P will be there. It defines how to handle symbolic links. I'm absolutely no guru, but it seems that 'find' act different i 1.x than in 2.x.

Hi, I've tried installing version 0.9 but nothing happens when you click on the pfind icon in Dotpups.
If I go bacvkto version 0.7 it is fine and version 0.8 also works (although it says it's version 0.7)
I'm using Rudy Puppy 2.13 Any thoughts? thanks
P.S. am having the same trouble with Pbackup, see

Hi, having a bit of trouble here. Version 1.9.5 seems fine but 1.9.6 -1.9.8 all install okay but will not run, nothing appears on the screen.

You have to install the new gtkdialog3 which is at:

ftp://ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/puppylinux/pet_packages-2/gtkdialog-0.7.18.pet

Incase you haven't already.

[disciple]

Cool
It was worth a try. Keep up the good work!

[veronicathecow]

It's all sorted thanks to plinej, see for simple instructions

Can I exclude say,
/root/mnt
from a
/
search?
so it doesn't go off searching on my samba mounts?

The find-command has the parameter -xdev (do not dive into other filesystems). I'll make an option for Pfind 1.0. Other good ideas?

[zigbert]

[VariEze]

Sounds good! --Karl

[zigbert]

Pfind 1.0 is here!

here it is as a pup, with dependencies, for older puppies...
