What about using pfilesearch for that:

If you're still changing pfind

here's my biggest headache.

Geany opens up the alias that pfind creates
rather than the real file. This is normally no problem
but the heading at the top of geany doesn't show the path to the
file. Instead it shows the path to the temp file.

Yeah, fixing this would also fix jamesbonds reported issue about Geany only shows 1 out of several similar hits (ie. index.html).

I just don't know how to fix it

Version 5.01
See main post

changelog
- Faster rendering of long resultlist
- Detect gtk-FG color for SVGs
- Bugfix: Separate files with similar name when acting on searchresult (thanks to darkcity)
- Bugfix: Remember 'Where to search' setting (thanks to Argolance)

Your link to pfilesearch is to version 1.30
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=191378

If I use it then pfind 5.01 doesn't work.

I had to use version 1.31 to make pfind work properly.

Should this menu item be Image Editor (like mtpaint)
rather than imagebrowser?

Where did you find version 1.31 ???

_________________________________________________

It is set to use the default image browser in the preferences. It is of course possible to define mtpaint, but that is not the intention.


Sigmund

Where did you find version 1.31 ??

I found it on my USB stick. Did I download it?? Who knows.

I see it listed on page 31.

_______________________

Please do NOT use the 1.31 test-version it was only meant for testing.

I am the one to blame for the horrible choice of version-number.

If there are bugs in the official pfilesearch-1.30, we have to track them. Please remove /root/.pfilesearch for a fresh start.


Sigmund

Pfind-5.01 with pfilesearch-1.31 or 1.30 produces problems in dpup exprimo:
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 983#644983
Is it dpup exprimo spesific problem ?

The older version of pfilesearch 131 on page 31 works with exprimo
so a change was made a few days later by Zigbert that
modified pfilesearch so that it doesn't search in system files properly.

L18L has been working on a new release using gettext...... Let's check out that one when we get things right


Sigmund

Version 5.04
See main post

changelog
- Use gettext for NLS (thanks to L18L)
- Bugfix: Some terminal output

I was working in the most recent Precise and the
'Delete' menu item wasn't working at all and there
was strange hesitations while trying to use it. Perhaps the
application was trying to update the hit list , believing that
it had deleted a file??

Got it, added to todo-list


Thank you

Karl Godt

I don't have any terminal output here....
