I was working in the most recent Precise and the
'Delete' menu item wasn't working at all and there
was strange hesitations while trying to use it. Perhaps the
application was trying to update the hit list , believing that
it had deleted a file??

How about something like :

bug report version 5.04

bug report version 5.04
I was using latest precise and it uses pfind 5.04
When doing an 'advanced' search in /mnt (or any other place)
I fill in characters and click 'Search' ----> the results are
correct but when I select one item on the hit list and select
from pfind menu 'Show location' I get the following warning message...

I am using pfind 5.04 in precise and I found a nasty bug
To test the bug on frugal install of precise ---> put a file 'zzzzz'
in /mnt/home , then try to find it with pfind
I was able to find it with my Bulldog finder.
The problem is that /mnt/home is a link.

I have no time to fix pFind right now, but will look at your input when things slow down a bit....
Even if I don't reply, please report bugs here, and I will catch up later.
Thank you

Regarding Don570`s bug report of recent woof built Puppies. I got the same problem with Dpup when I built with recent woof. The /mnt/home is symlink to the /initrd/mnt/dev_save.
I dont know if that is the reason why /mnt/home searches fail, but I tested pfilesearch 1.28 - 1.30 - 1.31 -1.32 and pfind 4.25 and pfind 5.04, well, maybe not all possible combinations, but anyway....I couldnt make pfind or using pfilesearch straight to find /mnt/home stuff. It just does not search it.
I can make it to search it by specifying /initrd/mnt/dev_save in search path
This didnt work: # find /mnt/home -name "ati.pat*"
....but this did work: # find /mnt/home/ -name "ati.pat*"
# find /mnt/home/ -name "ati.pat*"
/mnt/home/ati.patch
EDIT: also Pfind and Pfilesearch work when I use search path: /mnt/home/, Pfind-5.04 and Pfilesearch 1.32
/mnt/home
Posted: Wed 17 Oct 2012, 23:33
by don570
Most versions of puppy avoid using a link named /mnt/home
I put a line in bacon recorder to create this link because I
thought that I helping users to quickly find a hard disk partition
to store their recordings, but after a month or two I reversed my
thinking and took this line out of bacon recorder . I was worried
about confusing other programs.
Also I was alarmed when I read that 01micko was thinking of putting
a link /mnt/home in the next version of Slacko!!!

I booted up fluppy 013 with pfix=ram
and discovered that it uses a /mnt/home link.
I checked the built-in pfind 4.2 to see if it could find a file
on /mnt/home and found it couldn't.
I did an advanced search using /mnt/home as the location
and it didn't work.
So this bug has been in pfind for at least a year !!!

Review of pfind 5.04 and pfilesearch 1.33
When I try to use 'Delete' or 'Link' I get following message.
(either top menu or a rightclick menu)
__________________________________________
Posted: Mon 22 Oct 2012, 23:31

The top menu has Execute a command ----> It would
be better to replace 'files' with 'file(s)' .
Also I suggest putting in an additional example, like in the picture.
Also if just one file is currently chosen then it would be useful
to fill in the field with the path of the file to make writing the
command easier.

Suggestion :
If the user has 'Search here' in the entry field when
clicking 'Search' button, then pop up a help screen
using Xdialog since the user is obviously lost
___________________________________

I used 'Copy' from the top menu, ---> if no file was chosen
then all the files were copied. I didn't realize this. Fortunated my list
of hits had only small files. If the list had been long or had big files
then it would have been disruptive. I suggest a better explanation.

Thank you for the feedback
I will work through it when time gives an option to improve pFind.
