Ah - yes, that seems to be it, but I thought that was how you'd always done it.

Of COURSE!

I've just realised that the reason XnView doesn't work as the image browser is because your links don't have file extensions on the end of their names. If I add them manually, then it works fine.

I thought so too
Maybe it's time to rethink the filenaming.

I have 2.6 running on puppy 3.01 and when the config file is changed to "search only current filesystem=true" it reverts back to "false" every time. This never happened in prior versions

Pfind is a great find tool which I use all the time because I can never remember where anything is in the filesystem. Wink

Great work and thanks

I haven't checked if it's the same for me.

In config file it should say:
CHKXDEV=true #search only current filesystem

You say Xnview needs the extensions. I remember I tried Gqview once, and it wouldn't accept pfind output. Maybe this is the answer. I need to check this out since Barry includes Gqview in the upcoming Puppy.

Sorry, I gave the wrong link somehow

They should be looking here now anyway. http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 317#149317

After some experimentation, I found that the Pfindrc file had version 2.5 instead of 2.6 which caused the problem

See:
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=22906

Any chance of getting a mouse right click button to bring up the selection menu for filenames?

I don't think gtkdialog can do that unfortunately. It's a real pity really.
What it can do is a button to remove the selected item from the list. That might be cool...

I'm dreamin' of mouse-right-menu and drag'n drop

But lets try to get the best out of it.

Suggestions are always welcome.

Just downloaded and it still shows VERSION=2.5 in the pfindrc file....

I think sigmund just forgot to change that....

I am pretty sure that it really is 2.6 cause that is what the dotpet I got if from was called.

You're right, it is version 2.6, and if the pfindrc file does not say version=2.6, the config file will revert back to the default settings after changes are made - causes people to think their mind is going - (well, my mind anyway)

zigbert · #133 Post by **zigbert** » Tue 30 Oct 2007, 18:00

version 2.7 is uploaded. See main post.

disciple · #134 Post by **disciple** » Tue 30 Oct 2007, 22:46

Yes! This is great. The configuration gui is cool

Out of curiosity, for the mimetypes, why don't you use the ability of gtkdialog to edit text, instead of opening up a text editor?

It's funny how if I run a search for mp3s and then tell it to open them in xmms, they come up in xmms in a different order each time

I just discovered that bug is actually still there (sort of).
When it initially displays the search results, they are truncated like before - halfway through one of the files. But if I use one of the list actions then all of the results are used, and if I click the button to show all results, then it shows them all properly.
What was the deal with this bug? Do you know what was causing the problem?

----------------------
The other thing I noticed is that occasionally after a search, I run a list action, and then click file-advanced search, and Pfind closes. I noticed this in Puppy 2.16 with 2.6, but I thought it was just another one of the strange things that happened in 2.16

When I get a chance I might run Pfind from a terminal and just keep doing searches to see if I can get it to do it again, to see if it tells me anything about it.

Thank you for your patience with me. Fixing one bug, - gets another... It seems to be a long road to get this right. I will check your feedback, but now it's soon bedtime.

Good night

No, no. Thank you for the excellent software.

I think I didn't quite get what was going on with the "other thing" I mentioned. If I run a list action, then click "advanced search", then Pfind disappears until I close the program that the action opened. I would have thought the &s you've used would stop this, but maybe I'm missing something.

-----------------
I wonder how hard it would be for the "open with music player" action to do a little check and not bother making all the symlinks if you use an action that opens the m3u? I might look at that. It would be quite a lot faster...

disciple · #138 Post by **disciple** » Thu 01 Nov 2007, 09:00

Oh - I just noticed a proper bug

I'm not sure how long it's been around, as I don't use the extra columns much, so I've probably just not noticed.

If you ever find the missing something, please tell me. I have struggled with this for a while...

If I get you right, you mean to rename /tmp/pfind-view to a m3u file. This sounds like a very good idea. The problem is that gxine doesn't support m3u, and it would need some reorganization of code.

I don't have the same coloum-bug that you got??????

That's interesting. I checked and it's the same in Puppy 2.16, so I guess maybe something's changed in 2.17 or 3? Or a locale problem? Maybe you just want to ignore it unless someone else has the same problem in 3.x.

Sorry I couldn't get a screenshot with the whole width of window. The deal is that in the file name column I have the full file name and path, and then what you see there in the other columns.

-----------
Yes - I mean doing a check, and making the symlinks if the action uses them, but not making them if it opens the m3u. I had a look at the code, and it looked like it would be quite complicated. That's why I said I might look at it
