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??

Pfind -> Pfilesearch seems to work for me on Macpup-529(Precise) .

But i get a bunch of messages in the console :

And I have a question about the possibility to alter the 500 files list VALUE in the GUI .

How about something like :

OR

Code: Select all

export Pfind='

And another thing : Opera browser thinks he is the very very smart guiy and transforms .pet dl ( and .xz as far as i observed ) into .gz , even with tweaks .

Code: Select all

#!/bin/ash

USERNAME=puppy
PASSWORD=linux

read -p "ENTER USER name [puppy] :" USER_NAME
[ "$USER_NAME" ] || USER_NAME=$USERNAME

read -p "ENTER PASS word [linux] :" PASS_WORD
[ "$PASS_WORD" ] || PASS_WORD=$PASSWORD

read -p "ENTER url :" URL
[ "$URL" ] || { echo NEEDED;exit 0; }

KIND="${URL%%\:*}"
case $KIND in
http) U_O=--http;;
ftp) U_O=--ftp;;
*) U_O=--${KIND};;
esac

wget ${U_O}-user="$USER_NAME" ${U_O}-password="$PASS_WORD" "$URL"

bug report version 5.04

#504 Post by don570 »

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 :cry:

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
Sigmund

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

#508 Post 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)

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 :lol:

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.
