Hi, still not sure how to search subdirectories, am I being dumb?
Yeah, you must be an absolute idiot. I guess you're one of us. :wink:

About your problem: I do not have any idea why the problem occur to you. Pfind 0.6 doesn't specify the depth of search, and it then should search recursively by default. But...0.7 does have an option to turn on/off recursivly search. It will be released in short time. I'll guess during the weekend. There is much to do, and I want to knock out GTKfind. Puppy 2.15 needs to free up some space :wink:

Hi Zigbert, your program just gets better and better. Great idea having the interface tiny with advanced button to bring full package. This is written by someone who knows what they are doing and is also a user (Not someone just doing a job and doesn't have to deal with the consequences of a thing working badly)
Puppy bounces up and down with enthusiasm. A++++++++++

I agree with the above post. The best part is the simple search and then if I need more options I press the advanced button and get more searching options.

Great work !

This looks superb, but does it use anything special? I'm just wondering if it would be possible to get it to work in Puppy 1.x.
BTW version 0.8 still claims to be version 0.7 in the title bar.

It uses the gtkdialog2, and It doesn't comes to my mind when that reached Puppy. Maybe you have to download the petget pkg. and install as alien (53 kb if I don't remember wrong). But else of that, it shouldn't be any trouble.
BTW version 0.8 still claims to be version 0.7 in the title bar.
Thanks!

...And gxmessage is maybe also missing in 1.x

I seem to have gtkdialog2 and gxmessage. So maybe something else is incompatible. It appears to run, just when you do a search it doesn't actually search. And the icons are missing - but that doesn't matter :)

Could it be that 1.x use busybox instead of bash. Busybox-find could be stripped compared to the full bash-find.

When push search-button pfind builds a find-command in /tmp/pfind-execfind. Look at this file, and try to run in a terminal.

find -P "/" -maxdepth 100 -user root -size +0k -size -1000M -iname "*don*"
returns:
find: invalid predicate `-P'
If I remove the -P, I get
find: invalid -size type `M'
If I remove the size thing it works (incredibly quickly too!)

I'm not sure what all this means, but according to the packages list I have
bash-3.0 and busybox-1.01.

If it is easy, you might want to add an error message to your gui, as it just says it hasn't found any files, when presumably it didn't even search - sometime someone will have problems because something is broken in their install; it won't just help crazy people like me that try to run new programs in old OSs.

First. You are not using version 0.8. Version 0.8 and 0.9 has a different output, but still the -P will be there. It defines how to handle symbolic links. I'm absolutely no guru, but it seems that 'find' act different i 1.x than in 2.x.

Pfind is built for Puppy 2.14, and version 0.9 is built for Puppy 2.15. I have no plans making this available world wide. It is after all just a simple bash-script. This is why it only is 17kb. :wink:

Hi, I've tried installing version 0.9 but nothing happens when you click on the pfind icon in Dotpups.
If I go bacvkto version 0.7 it is fine and version 0.8 also works (although it says it's version 0.7)
I'm using Rudy Puppy 2.13 Any thoughts? thanks
P.S. am having the same trouble with Pbackup, see
http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic. ... 734#101734

Hi, having a bit of trouble here. Version 1.9.5 seems fine but 1.9.6 -1.9.8 all install okay but will not run, nothing appears on the screen.

You have to install the new gtkdialog3 which is at:

ftp://ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributio ... 0.7.18.pet

Incase you haven't already.

Can I exclude say,
/root/mnt
from a
/
search?
so it doesn't go off searching on my samba mounts?
