It is getting interesting

This one should give you full control over advanced search.
Please test.

You need to install both pFilesearch and pFind to get it work.



Question: What kind of filetype is this?

[don570]

I have been using pfind 498 for the last few days in Exprimo
and Saluki and it works fine.

Concerning icons -----> What about icons for pictures,sounds
and the various compressed archives like pet and tar.gz
Icons might make them look nicer in window.

A feature I would love ---> Click on a filename in search results
and tap ctrl-I for info. This would pop a window
to give details like permissions,size, and the application that
created the file.

Or better still ---> Just move the mouse pointer over a filename
and the info popped up automatically without
even a click!!

Suggestion: To save about an inch of width I suggest using icons
rather than text. A tooltip pop up to give the name of the icon
would be nice to avoid confusion.

Also the total should be at the bottom rather than the top of the list.

Also an alternate wider window style should be an option
in the menu. Maybe a couple of inches wider to see the full path.

Here's a mock-up.

It appears that pfind can't get a listing of ALL files in folder recursively.

I am able to get what I want with the following command

Sometimes we agree - sometimes we don't.....
.... This time we could probably agree if
- The icons was good-looking
- The icons shows some logic information
- The icons was very small in kb
- The icons was very small in pixel-size. As disciple mention, we have a screen-height to fit inside. I measured my gui to 475 pixels tall....

It might be better to put the total at top rather than bottom
because the word "TOTAL' (if it was a text tag) could be
located more definitely and not move about depending on
font size.

By the way I got the icons out of standard puppy locations
(mostly mini-icons ) but I made modified the document
and the video icons to make them white.

I spotted this when opening a script with pfind
(using a double click or using the menu).

The link is used rather than the actual file so
geany has the strange heading (see image)

This is very confusing, but I discovered that the actual file
is opened and can be modified.
It would be better if the real path of file was used.

Just a note to those who have reported bugs - we are still not there yet. First we need to settle how this script should work. Then there will come more restructuring of the code - then we will see more bugs - then it's time to bugfix.....
