#556 Post by Pelo »

37 pages ! i use a lot Pfind, which is the tool.
Other tools are available, especially this one : you are somwhere in a directory, you right click your mouse, et choose find. YOU get that search tool. What's its name. I dont understand how to use it .

Tell me the name of that search tool.... and how to use it ?

Merci beaucoup messieurs. Now, I explore these0 37 pages. Without any doubt, there is something to learn. Have a nice and sunny afternoon. Here, it's raining again...

#559 Post by Pelo »

I explain my job ; i have my ... 500 machines controlled once a year.
My controlling society mails me the reports under pdf format for each one.

I presume your file manager is rox (usually standard in Puppy). If this is correct, you are talking about rox's built-in search feature. The button to the right of the "expression" field will give you some help on it. There may be more help in the rox manual.
Do you know a good gtkdialog program? Please post a link here

If pfind included build-gettext, then it could open mo files
(if devx file was loaded)

Image

and if it had Run_In_Terminal(which is small script)
then it could open a script in a terminal
window.
Here is how I did it in Bulldog finder...

Code: Select all

funcbtnType0Create8() {
	echo '<button image-position="'$1'" use-stock="true"   tooltip-text="'$(gettext 'Run script in terminal')'">
	      <input file stock="gtk-execute"></input>
	      <label>"'$(gettext 'Run script')'"</label>
	      <action>funcpath</action>	            
          <action>/usr/local/apps/Run_In_Terminal/AppRun  "$(cat "$TEMPDIR/roxpath.txt")" &</action>
		  </button>'
}

advanced search cut off

#562 Post by Wognath »

Hello Zigbert,
Thanks for pfind and pfilesearch. Although I usually use pfilesearch, I noticed this about pfind 5.11 in Wheezy 3.5.2.7 and thought I should let you know. Pfind works smoothly, but when "advanced" is selected, the gui does not accommodate it well.
Regards,
Wognath

P.S. thank you very much also for your GtkDialog tips elsewhere http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=38608

If you click the upper right corner box for a full sized window, then

the 'Advanced' feature is easier to use.

Problem with pfind and openbox?

#564 Post by peebee »

Hi

Have there been any reported problems of using pfind when openbox is the wiindow manager?

I've encountered the same problem with both:
OpenboxPlus 1.6 beta 1 and 1.5.3
and
LxPup13.10 : a Puppy with LXDE

The problem occurs if you search for some files and then when they are displayed you right click on one of them but instead of clicking on one of the right-click menu items you click on the screen behind the menu - pfind crashes.

See screenie from OpenboxPlus installed on Slacko 5.6

Any assistance on how to diagnose what is going wrong would be appreciated - running pfind from the terminal does not produce any error messages when the crash occurs.

Thanks
peebee

I reported a similar problem with openbox and pmusic about a year ago
to Zigbert so he knows about the problem.

The application doesn't crash. It's still possible to quit the app normally.

I wrote Bulldog finder to avoid using pfind in openbox.

How to integrate Fredo, my search assistant, into P find?

#569 Post by MyPuppysaysWauWau »

Hi Zigbert,

I would like to go on working with Fredo again in Puppys find! Is there any possibility to make this dream come true? :)

I made a short movie about Fredo

Regards,
Walter

Hello Walter
What are your exact dream?
I have no experience with XP.

Did a quick test on Raring-5.6.94.
3 consecutive search & export results - no hangs, so far.
The older version sometimes (not always) froze on export.
Can you also make a deb package, or just show a strictly Debian structure? I like pfind and want to install it in my self made Debian Live builds.

Thank you in advance.

Hi Sigmund,

I (only I?) like a animated figure as a search assistant. Accidentally in XP there is a dog, looks so nice as Puppy :).
It would be neat to get the same dog. But maybe it could be too difficult to integrate it?

Walter

Never mind, Fredx has already taken care of pfind.deb:

I think, I can repack it.

As far as I know, animations in the Puppy environment is doable, but troublesome:
- pFind itself can loop images to show an animation, but this requires too much of the systems resources.
- Gif animations are supported, but these doesn't look good,
- Libsvg does not support animated vector code, and this is the logic approach as I see it.

An even if we could support animations, I feel certain that many users would be against it, as it WILL occupy a noticeable part of the cpu.
