If we got fixed those pfind-6-related bugs we are ready to move on
- store search options to a history db
- search apps (this belongs to pfilesearch)

zigbert, what will you use to create your history file?

Will it be text based or something like locate/slocate/mlocate?

The history is not intended to keep the search-result, but the previous used find-commands.

@zigbert

Request for features:

1/ ability to search text on specific file type,
For instance "text_search" [AND] *.pdf does not do the job.
Or course, you can say that there are match profiles, but there will always be a file type not in the list or you want just for instance *.pdf and no other doc type to limit search.

2/ Pfind results add a column with extensions, so that one can sort of file type for instance txt, pdf, doc, etc.

Request for changes:
1/ Move the directory search directly under text search, as path may be quite long, it between searches it may be usefull to keep a direct eye contact on which path the search takes places

This was so in pfilesearch 1.28, thought the text area was too short.

2/ Provide the results as they come out.
Indeed, this is to cut long search, as sometimes you haven't the foggiest idea where your put your damn file and need to search from top root, but as soon as you see the right file you can stop the search.

3/ I would put "code files", just under documents, as they're a kind of doc.


I cast a look at the code to propose some modifications to send, as I'm not familiar with this environnement, which tool do you use to generate the GUI code?

Thanks for your work

The SVG icons on left side are a good alternative.
For example: Image files are shown by clicking landscape icon.

___________________________________________

The feature I want is ---> When a text file on hit list is opened by Geany
(using the menu item that pfind supplies)

I want Geany to open the actual file rather than the temporary link.
That way the heading at the top of Geany window will have the true location
rather than the link's location.

zigbert,
After updating gtkdialog in Quirky, I also updated to your latest pBurn, pFind, etc. I then built Quirky.

Then I discovered there are no icons for pFind and Pschedule in the menu.

A bit of investigating, and I found the reason. Quirky does not have /usr/share/pixmaps/puppy folder.

I fixed those PETs, just using the old images in /usr/local/lib/X11/mini-icons, however, what would be the best solution going forward?

Um, I could put in /usr/share/pixmaps/puppy, but perhaps the PETs could have the icons in them?

Yeah, I see - the icons are missing outside Woof-CE built systems.

- The mini-icons are on their way out of Woof-CE, so I never link icons that way anymore...
- Including an icon from /usr/share/pixmaps/puppy inside the pet will overwrite original icon in Woof-CE, and that is not good if stuff are improved at github.

I am not sure what would be the best solution?
I could of course offer 2 packages - one linking to mini-icons, but this doesn't sound like a great idea. Would it be possible to include a pinstall script that checks if /usr/share/pixmaps/puppy misses?

Well, I suppose I can populate /usr/share/pixmaps/puppy at least with the icons for pFind, Pschedule and any other pets that use them.

Or, you can host WoofQ in GitHub, as a branch of woof-CE. :idea:

Perhaps you missed this post from 2011 or the problem/fix fell off your ToDo list and I, being a relative noob at the time failed to follow up. I just confirmed that it still exists.

sources-3-15-4 resides in /mnt/home/ the boot flash drive. Two other instances of the same file name exists on a hard drive. pfind finds only those files on the hard drive. The search path is the default, /mnt or /root. See screenshots.

Searched for 2 Directories, once with the Directory radio button enabled and another time with a filename only. In no instance did pFind find the target in /mnt/home. The target was found when I changed the "Search in" window to /mnt/home.

Be aware that /mnt/home is a symlink to /initrd/mnt/dev_save.
Please activate the 'Follow symlinks' checkbox.

Target in /mnt/home/ found with that box checked. Thanks.

As most of my searches are within /root and /home, is there a way I can change the default?

Feature request:

When pfind list all the matches it should be possible to physically move the files, the right-click option "move" only create symlink.

Thanks
