Re: What is purpose of button?

And the arrow doesn't seem to do anything.
The arrow filters the results (if you hover your mouse over it, you'll see a tooltip that says "Show only files in this category").
The first arrow button (on the "Total" results line) won't do anything unless you have already clicked one of the other arrow buttons.
A possible enhancement would be to make the arrow button inactive ("grayed out") when it is not applicable.

Maybe you don't need them. If not, then you don't need to click the icon. But some people find them very useful sometimes ;)

If I select 'view with file manager' or 'open in text editor' only one of the files with a duplicate name will be shown.

A way around this would be to check if result already exist and add an appendix if so like (2).
I have added this to the todo list. But it won't happen soon, as all my focus is at Pmusic 2 right now.

This is harder to meet with the existing structure of Pfind


Thank you for the feedback

I have not fixed your issue, but still not forgotten. the workaround is so easy (open one by one, by clicking on file), that I didn't spend time on it this time.

Minor niggles

#382 Post by Snail »

I am using 422 from Lucid 526rc. In the first page of this thread, you show the current directory being displayed. This is not shown when I run pfind -d /root, run from menu, from right-click, or click on the RoxApp in /usr/local/apps. I was disappointed, as that feature seemed a very nice one to have.

In both 421 and 422, in you run pfind -a or pfind -ad /root, the pfilesearch window opens. If I cancel out without searching, there is an 8-10 second delay and then an empty search box appears. Can it be made to either just close down or else behave the way it acts if you go in via the menu?

In Lucid Puppy 525 I came on this unusual discovery.

Hits that had both a French accented character and the filename had
an empty space look strange. I tried 'Open'
from your menu and it wouldn't open. These are filenames
that Rox Filer turns red as a warning to show that they are
improper I believe.

Hi
@don570 ... Bonjour ou bonsoir selon le cas ... :-)
maybe trivial but sounds indeed like a problem in accentuated character recognition...
Was not the case on my current Pfind 4.18+NLS file, which recognizes "é" etc...

(note: As much as possible, here I'm living with avoiding the use of accentuated characters in directories and file names - Here: locale = french + fr_BE )

Cheers, Charlie

Good point Charlie.

I've been using Lucid Puppy 525 pfix=ram
over and over to test Right-click-5.2.1.pet
My latest and best!!!

Probably there is a difference between
running in English and French. I'll test over weekend.

I did test that a blank space in the name causes the
trouble with accented characters.

I've been checking some more, and I find the only problem
is a few files that Rox Filer shows in the color red.

They are html files of radio-canada.ca's schedule
downloaded to a fat32 USB stick using Microsoft Explorer
on a Window's computer.

So there is some incompatibility between Windows and linux

I'm not 100% sure that fixing it will help with Pfind, but IIRC the red files in rox mean the partition is not mounted with the correct code page. You might be able to find the code page at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_code_page. I can't remember off the top of my head exactly what to do with it.

N.B. I might not be remembering this quite right...

I've just found this.
And maybe even search for mount on this page.

Thanks for the links.

I was on a Windows network at the time and
saving pages to a USB stick (fat32)

Only a few files showed up red, so there
is no problem.

Ah, OK. I presume you saw the rox rename trick to fix individual files?

to Disciple Yes I read it when I got home.

??? Is there a bug in latest pfind???

I got this strange warning message. First I launched pfind
in Exprimo 5x5. Then directly after the launch I clicked the close button
in upper right. (See image)

I believe that the developper pemasu had just upgraded pfind
because of gktdialog

Hi don570
Will you please show me the terminal output. I don't think this is a big thing..... does Pfind work as expected else of this?

to Zigbert

It works perfectly otherwise.
Just when I launch and then close without using the application.
Exprimo 5x5 uses Enlightenment to launch apps from
a 'Shelf'. That may be the problem. ...but other
apps work fine.
I will investigate further tonite. It's a holiday weekend here. :lol:

bug in pfind

#395 Post by don570 »

pfind version 4.2.2 is listed in script

I should have clicked on the advanced button
in the window :oops:

I would have seen this

Code: Select all

Error Information:
	An exit code of 1 was returned from pfind.

Output Data:
	There was no output

Error Logs:
	There was no error message

Here's the terminal output when I launch with the terminal
and then close by clicking the upper right close button.

.... but it gives the same terminal output when it has done a
file search.

Image

Note: Radky is careful about how he ends his scripts.
He uses not only the usual 'exit 0' but some sort of unset command
He's quite experienced with the different window managers.
