Dear SFR,

Very nice little app. Thanks for the update.

With kind regards,
vovchik

Thanks Vovchik!

And here's another update.

I was playing with Fatdog for a while and noticed that IconFinder doesn't work there due to different yaf-splash syntax.
It was a good excuse to replace it entirely with Xdialog and do some other fixes.

Version 1.2 changelog:
- yaf-splash replaced with Xdialog
- progress bar while filtering images (at last one can see "are we there yet?")
- scanning of .svg files is much faster now
- Akita has no 'exiv2', but has 'feh', so .JPGs and .TIFs will be recognized using 'feh' in this Puppy
- added .pnm format
- some internal improvements

First post updated.

I switched to Slacko-5.4 and using Gtkdialog-0.8.2 I was able to display max. ~6000 icons, not ~9000 as it was with Gtkdialog-0.8.0...

I decided to resolve this issue once and for all. I followed RSH's advice and I applied "Tabs".
Number of icons per one tab is set to 1024 (can be amended in Settings; min. 256).
Switching between tabs, with this amount of icons/tab, takes 2-3 seconds, what is quite acceptable IMHO.

Note: There can be problems with menu entry in latest Puppies due to recent changes in petget/woof.
For now I'm not going to do anything with this until the whole situation will be stabilized.
If menu entry won't appear, one can try:
- fixmenus
- launch IconFinder from the terminal (via iconfinder)
- or make a shortcut on the pinboard

Version 1.3 was tested only on Slacko-5.4.

EDIT: I changed the default number of icons/tab from 1024 to 1000...I'm thinking too much in binary.

I gave this a run -seemed to work great .

However I could not drag the icon to another filer or window to use that icon . I had to reach for paper to write down its location as I was not able to copy its location any way I could find

Writing it down is slow laborious and inaccurate I find

Any way to copy its location? or better be able to drag it as a link?

What happens when you click an icon?
Such an action should open ROX-Filer window and the icon (its file, actually) you've chosen should blink several times to reveal its exact location.

BTW, if you have thumbnails preview enabled, it may takes some time to refresh all icons in newly opened Filer window (and therefore it's hard to notice that blinking), but it always acts better on the second try, when thumbnails are already cached.

Thanks & Greetings!

Aha click on the icon and i can then drag from the location -Thanks
Would still be nice to be able to copy the path to clipboard or save

Hey Tytower

I doubt if it'd be possible to, eg. drag'n'drop anything from Gtkdialog window to Filer window, but now (in version 1.3.1):
- left-click = locate an icon via ROX-Filer
- right-click = copy icon path to the clipboard (the main clipboard, IOW: CTRL+V to paste, not mouse middle-click)
- middle-click = open dialog window to save an icon in selected dir.

In addition I've added checking if clicked icon still exists and appropriate message if not.

Hi again - I'll stop pestering you after this.
I just went looking for an icon in a file /arduino-1.0.3/ that I knew was there because I could not see it on the prepared list. So I changed the directory that it searched in and it found some but not the one I wanted which was an Arduino .png and tried pointing directly at it but it still did not find it

I attach a screen shot here
Is there a particular reason it did not find it or is it something I have not done properly?

Did you check dimensions of that icon?
By default IconFinder shows images that have max. 64x64 px (you can adjust it in settings).

Another cause could be fake extension - see my first post, "Known issues" paragraph.

This should show is it really .png or sth else: Greetings!

Yep - changed size to 200 x 200 and down she came

Version 1.4:

- ~250% faster image filtering;
- i18n (gettext) [note: if country settings has been changed it's also necessary to rebuild icon list to see the changes];
- some minor rearrangements;
