I'm not sure what part you're having trouble with, post just the erroring part.
If you're not sure, put "echo ($Value)" all through it to see the bad value.

Rather than: "find / -name '*.?fs' -fprint /tmp/found.vdisk", which searches
the entire files system which can take lots of time (I have 5 HD partitions).
Search only the most likely areas... The "/" of partitions, "/Vdisk", etc.

I think the problem is in here somewhere as I get no
list of files and it's the part I don't understand lol

There's no problem with the gtk file, is the file: /tmp/found.vdisk there?
And does it have anything in it? Probably there's no file or the file's empty.
That'd mean the find command isn't putting anything into the file.
As I said the find command should be changed anyway.

Try putting this in place of the find command:

I had to run Vdisk setup to create the found.vdisk
file but it's there really I tried the echo statment still no joy
contents of found.vdisk follow

Sorry... I haven't gotten any email notices of posts, this is the third I've found.

I didn't check the code, but GTKdialog is oddly picky.
Try this in place of the current piece of code:
