Normal Linux commands to Locate your system files, INSTANTLY
Hi, nic007.nic007 wrote:Can one open the searched file(s) directly from the search results box? Nevermind, I see it's find only
If you're using my "CLI" wrapper for slocate, you can open a searched
file indirectly by:
- * double-clicking at the left of the line of the file, and then
* you open a terminal
* inside that terminal you type < rox > and a space, and
* then you press the middle button of the mouse and
* you hit < return >.
I hope this helps.

My script opens the file directly with any app you state, and outputs the selected (multiple selections) files as a list (.m3u in case of media files, other formats doesn't matter) which is simultaneously opened with stated app and geany. All updating is performed with the same script as per use, because my script allows you to set a command (with options) to apply to the files e.g. rm -rf ... which will delete selected files, then the db (only on that partition) will be updated to reflect these changes.

musher0 and stemsee, thanks. I'll check things out but all sounds a bit complicated and cumbersome. I'm using "everything" with Windows. As simple and quick as to search, highlighting the results and playing/opening the file directly. Seems the available linux applications fall short here unless there is something I'm not aware of.

Hello, nic007.nic007 wrote:I've tried slocate on Wary, didn't work for me, I get no results ( I have a FAT32 and NTFS partition). Also takes a bit of time to open. The way I have been playing my music still seems to be the best/fastest ie. Link to music folder on desktop, click and select subfolder/files then use open with.
If you're going to use slocate just to locate your music, and then play it,
you may be better off using a dedicated music program.
Some music players or "jukebox" programs (e.g. snackamp, jajuk, etc.)
create a database of anything that is in a music folder that you specify at
first launch.
After that, playing a song or a piece of music with that program is just a
couple of clicks away, really.
BFN.

stemsee, it didn't create a database (nothing happened after five minutes and frankly i couldn't see anything happening like the cpu working). Does it work with FAT and NTFS partitions? Musher0 - yes I'm aware of players which work with libraries. Don't know about mplayer though. A tip for those who do play their music with mplayer - opening a terminal window in a folder/subfolder with media files and typing the command mplayershell -shuffle * will create a playlist and play all the files in that folder in random order. Alternatively, one can of course create a script for this.

New pet. Tested on pristine, no savefile vivid-beta2 by 666philb (i didn't check if slocate was already installed though!!) Worked very quick and correctly. Maybe remove previous slocate.db for fresh start.
