pFind 6.3
Pfind
Dear Zigbert,
I consider Pfind a real gem, all the more because you can configure it to do what you want and the script is very transparent. I changed two instances of xmessage to gxmessage for reasons of optics, since xmessage simply looks ugly and out of place if you already have a well-groomed puppy. In any event, thanks for the outstanding work.

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

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++++++++++

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.I'm just wondering if it would be possible to get it to work in Puppy 1.x.
Thanks!BTW version 0.8 still claims to be version 0.7 in the title bar.
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.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.
