37 pages ! i use a lot Pfind, which is the tool.
Other tools are available, especially this one : you are somwhere in a directory, you right click your mouse, et choose find. YOU get that search tool. What's its name. I dont understand how to use it .

Tell me the name of that search tool.... and how to use it ?

Merci beaucoup messieurs. Now, I explore these0 37 pages. Without any doubt, there is something to learn. Have a nice and sunny afternoon. Here, it's raining again...

I explain my job ; i have my ... 500 machines controlled once a year.
My controlling society mails me the reports under pdf format for each one.
But the number of the machine does not appear anywhere else that inside the report.
I have to open each report to know what machine is concerned.
MY firm is a big one with adobe, pdf, word,excel and tutti quanti

Puppy linux woud find inside pdf the machine number ? Ouah !

If pfind included build-gettext, then it could open mo files
(if devx file was loaded)



and if it had Run_In_Terminal(which is small script)
then it could open a script in a terminal
window.
Here is how I did it in Bulldog finder...

Hello Zigbert,
Thanks for pfind and pfilesearch. Although I usually use pfilesearch, I noticed this about pfind 5.11 in Wheezy 3.5.2.7 and thought I should let you know. Pfind works smoothly, but when "advanced" is selected, the gui does not accommodate it well.
Regards,
Wognath

P.S. thank you very much also for your GtkDialog tips elsewhere [url] http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=38608[/url]

If you click the upper right corner box for a full sized window, then

the 'Advanced' feature is easier to use.

Hi

Have there been any reported problems of using pfind when openbox is the wiindow manager?

I've encountered the same problem with both:
OpenboxPlus 1.6 beta 1 and 1.5.3
and
LxPup13.10 : a Puppy with LXDE

The problem occurs if you search for some files and then when they are displayed you right click on one of them but instead of clicking on one of the right-click menu items you click on the screen behind the menu - pfind crashes.

See screenie from OpenboxPlus installed on Slacko 5.6

Any assistance on how to diagnose what is going wrong would be appreciated - running pfind from the terminal does not produce any error messages when the crash occurs.

Thanks
peebee

I reported a similar problem with openbox and pmusic about a year ago
to Zigbert so he knows about the problem.

The application doesn't crash. It's still possible to quit the app normally.

I wrote Bulldog finder to avoid using pfind in openbox.
