If pfind included build-gettext, then it could open mo files
(if devx file was loaded)

Image

and if it had Run_In_Terminal(which is small script)
then it could open a script in a terminal
window.
Here is how I did it in Bulldog finder...

Code: Select all

funcbtnType0Create8() {
	echo '<button image-position="'$1'" use-stock="true"   tooltip-text="'$(gettext 'Run script in terminal')'">
	      <input file stock="gtk-execute"></input>
	      <label>"'$(gettext 'Run script')'"</label>
	      <action>funcpath</action>	            
          <action>/usr/local/apps/Run_In_Terminal/AppRun  "$(cat "$TEMPDIR/roxpath.txt")" &</action>
		  </button>'
}

advanced search cut off

#562 Post by Wognath »

Hello Zigbert,
Thanks for pfind and pfilesearch. Although I usually use pfilesearch, I noticed this about pfind 5.11 in Wheezy 3.5.2.7 and thought I should let you know. Pfind works smoothly, but when "advanced" is selected, the gui does not accommodate it well.
Regards,
Wognath

P.S. thank you very much also for your GtkDialog tips elsewhere http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=38608

If you click the upper right corner box for a full sized window, then

the 'Advanced' feature is easier to use.

Problem with pfind and openbox?

#564 Post by peebee »

Hi

Have there been any reported problems of using pfind when openbox is the wiindow manager?

I've encountered the same problem with both:
OpenboxPlus 1.6 beta 1 and 1.5.3
and
LxPup13.10 : a Puppy with LXDE

The problem occurs if you search for some files and then when they are displayed you right click on one of them but instead of clicking on one of the right-click menu items you click on the screen behind the menu - pfind crashes.

See screenie from OpenboxPlus installed on Slacko 5.6

Any assistance on how to diagnose what is going wrong would be appreciated - running pfind from the terminal does not produce any error messages when the crash occurs.

Thanks
peebee
ImageLxPup = Puppy + LXDE
Main version used daily: LxPupSc; Assembler of UPups, ScPup & ScPup64, LxPup, LxPupSc & LxPupSc64

I reported a similar problem with openbox and pmusic about a year ago
to Zigbert so he knows about the problem.

The application doesn't crash. It's still possible to quit the app normally.

I wrote Bulldog finder to avoid using pfind in openbox.

How to integrate Fredo, my search assistant, into P find?

#569 Post by MyPuppysaysWauWau »

Hi Zigbert,

I would like to go on working with Fredo again in Puppys find! Is there any possibility to make this dream come true? :)

I made a short movie about Fredo

Regards,
Walter

Hello Walter
What are your exact dream?
I have no experience with XP.

Did a quick test on Raring-5.6.94.
3 consecutive search & export results - no hangs, so far.
The older version sometimes (not always) froze on export.
Can you also make a deb package, or just show a strictly Debian structure? I like pfind and want to install it in my self made Debian Live builds.

Thank you in advance.

Hi Sigmund,

I (only I?) like a animated figure as a search assistant. Accidentally in XP there is a dog, looks so nice as Puppy :).
It would be neat to get the same dog. But maybe it could be too difficult to integrate it?

Walter

Never mind, Fredx has already taken care of pfind.deb:

I think, I can repack it.

As far as I know, animations in the Puppy environment is doable, but troublesome:
- pFind itself can loop images to show an animation, but this requires too much of the systems resources.
- Gif animations are supported, but these doesn't look good,
- Libsvg does not support animated vector code, and this is the logic approach as I see it.

An even if we could support animations, I feel certain that many users would be against it, as it WILL occupy a noticeable part of the cpu.

exclude keep sticked on /initrd/pup_*

#576 Post by charlie6 »

Hi Sigmund,
many thanks for that more and more handy app ! :)
Here cannot modify the exclude path (not present in /root/.pfind/pfindrc ... :?: ) ... it was already the case in 5.11: i tried to modify the path through the menu File/configure/general thumbnail and "modify search options" .. but pfinds exclude path keeps sticked on *initrd/pup_*
Any other way to set the path ?
Cheers, Charlie

Should I remove a built-in version of Pfind before installing the latest version, or simply install the new version?

thanks

It will place itself on top of the old.

hello im using pfind 5.11 and there is a problem that pfind/func -build_treeitems needs to use separate file that is not being monitored to prevent slow down of displaying a large number of search results. i modified it to start with:

Code: Select all

-build_treeitems)
	>/tmp/pfind-treeitems$PROGPID
	>/tmp/pfind-treeitemsx$PROGPID
	... #original code but using the x name
	mv /tmp/pfind-treeitemsx$PROGPID /tmp/pfind-treeitems$PROGPID
	;;
it was very noticable on my system, if you actually change this i was guessed you might want to instead change the tree to monitor pfind-treeitems-final because that is a better than the x name but you'd have to modify 2 files
i also had an issue using Open with TextEditor and had to set it to use this script instead of a texteditor (this might have been fixed in 5.12 though):

Code: Select all

#!/bin/sh
for a in $@
do b=$(readlink $a)
defaulttexteditor "$b" & rm $a
done
