Perhaps you missed this post from 2011 or the problem/fix fell off your ToDo list and I, being a relative noob at the time failed to follow up. I just confirmed that it still exists.
sources-3-15-4 resides in /mnt/home/ the boot flash drive. Two other instances of the same file name exists on a hard drive. pfind finds only those files on the hard drive. The search path is the default, /mnt or /root. See screenshots.

Searched for 2 Directories, once with the Directory radio button enabled and another time with a filename only. In no instance did pFind find the target in /mnt/home. The target was found when I changed the "Search in" window to /mnt/home.Please try to clear the Exclude field (press the advanced button).

I was intruiged by rmcellig using pFind to copy search results to a directory for his radio show. I thought it would be even more space efficient to symlink rather than copy the search results. Alas, the "Link" option allows only a single file to be symlinked. Would you consider implementing a similar GUI and execution as the "Copy" case for symlinking multiple files? We would essentially be able to create playlists.

It allows advanced managing of searchresult.

I wonder if it is possible to grep through the file list to search for a term
and then print the line.
like
Maybe clicking advanced button is better
for searches of text in file
but the above method might reduce the number of files to search inside
and then print the line.
like
Code: Select all
grep -i '<expression>' [FILE] > /root/results.txt
for searches of text in file
but the above method might reduce the number of files to search inside
Yes you can
I like the idea, I haven't thought of that one

grep -i '<expression>' [FILE] >> /root/results.txt

Thanks. That wasn't long at all.
Your posted solution works fine , but I'd much prefer what I asked for. The reason is that for a long path, there is trouble remembering it, more typing and attendant risk of mistyping than finding the directory with ROX or whichever file manager is in use. In fact, the actual path I was working with was
/mnt/sda1/Documents and Settings/user/My Documents/My Music/Playlist-1
So much easier to remember and type /root/test2

I understand. My point is that don570 also shows a great action. Somewhere we get to the 'advanced' point - and then the 'execute command' gives us the freedom to do whatever... To implement all kind of actions with different parameters is not the way I want to go.
We have many tools in Puppy for building playlists.
- pMusic is my offer.
- don570 has given us mkplaylists
- pFind can export to textfile (which in fact is a simple m3u playlist)
- gmplayer
Note!
To add the long path to the 'execute command' field, just drag the folder from rox into the field.
