Is the date format in pfind really controlled by gtk? I'll have to look at the code again...

Hey Zigbert, did you know that "sort by extension" omits any results that don't have an extension?

Thanks disciple.
That makes more sense to me now. Hope I retain the lesson.
Now this quote makes more sense to me also.

Hi again, here are some more bugs Sad

I thought I had already reported them... but maybe I forgot.

1. The action buttons don't work if you searched in ./
e.g. the browse button produces an error like this for each file:

A search which looks on a terabyte of storage takes a few minutes.
Meanwhile, I work on Computer #2.
Then, the PFind search-results window appears on Computer #1.
I turn back to Computer #1 but have forgotten what the search term was.
Sometimes it can be inferred, sometimes not...

(Hmm, this looks like a good start on a haiku...)

Yes, I have the same trouble, but only using one computer Smile

Personally I'd like it to display the actual find command that was run... it would help me learn to use find as well as helping with troubleshooting Smile

Show find command is a good idea.

I have looked at the bugs, and fixed 2. The problem of action buttons when using ./ as search-path worked for me. (after fixing the other 2 bugs) Hopefully this happens for you too.

The reported 'action buttons does not work when searching ./' seems to works with Pfind 4.20. I have not done anything to solve it??????

Is it possible to do a pfind search and then select all (or a group of) results and delete them?

The usual ctrl-arrow and shift-arrow method to select does not appear to work.

At the moment I am trying to delete Google-Chrome (actually anything with "google" in it from my Netwook with Fluppy 005 -- but I'd like to do the same on all of our computers.

Google-chrome does not show up in Package Manager or else I would have done this there (which would probably be a more-clean method).
