new version 2.7

Bulldog finder should work correctly when multiple launch
i.e. you can launch as many times that you want and leave open
window if you wish.

__________________________________________

new version 2.9

- I corrected a couple of bugs----> main one was the pinstall.sh script
to install the right click for Thunar

new version 3.0

-It now works properly with Carolina distro

new version 3.1

-Copy and delete buttons added
-improved gettext translation (I've included French translation)


Notes:
Copy is to $HOME i.e. /root. It uses the command cp -rf. There is no
check for a similar named file or folder!!
Delete will work on file or folder. You will get a warning message.




______________________________________________

I made a new pot file because of new wording.

Bullog Finder with thunar is working well.
How to do is explained Step by step
Good job. Bulldog finder will be very helpfull to find what is taking so huge volume in my pupsave, by searching files recently created.
Sizes are not sorted as number but as text !
Large files finder : i dont succeed in getting someting under XFCE.

Sizes are not sorted as number but as text !

That part of the program I didn't write , but maybe if I declare
the variable to be a number that will solve the problem??

Do it ! because the pet is fine, and it would be a damage to let it with this tiny bug !
Larges files Finder is running well too, now. But can be improved by coping your way of doing for Bulldog finder.

I experimented with bulldog finder. I removed h option with du command
and this gave me pure numbers but clicking on 'Size' didn't order the
column correctly. If I have time I will look at Zigbert's program
pfind which does work correctly.

New version 3.2

Improvements:

3 new buttons and changed to gtkdialog-splash
when no files are found and the program restarts automatically.

It works well in Carolina 1.0 and newer puppies


The 3 new buttons are

1) Viewer should allow viewing of most types of documents
that puppy users use, sound video text scripts images WP , however

default viewers that puppy uses must be set correctly first.
For instance defaultwordprocessor, defaulttexteditor, defaultimageviewer defaultaudioplayer defaultmediaplayer defaulthtmlviewer.

Most puppies are careful to set these files during first installation.

2) Execute a script in terminal (If the file isn't a genuine script you
will get an error message in terminal)

3) Install a PET DEB of SFS package

new version 3.3

-opens mo files (because I included build_gettext)

-recent files are added to list of places to choose among
_______________________________

If you don't have devx file loaded and you try to view a mo file
then you get warning...

new version 3.4

I rewrote several screen messages and converted a message to
Xdialog to make it seen more clearly.

NLS file created bulldog-finder_NLS-3.4

I separated out the 3 foreign languages so they
have there own file.

French German and Dutch (by Bert)

new version Bulldog Finder 3.7

I put the windows Share folder on the list of places to search.

It works with YASSM and Barry's method of connecting to a Share folder.

Note that searching in /root also searches the Windows Share folder as well.

version 3.8

-added Italian and German translations

Bulldog finder 3.4 OB Precise 14.07.26
My opinion : bulldog finder cannot replace Pfind, as it was done in some Puppies.

I'm working on a 'Search for text' feature.
User will be able to search through the list of files for an expression.
Seems to working fine now.
I'll post after XMAS when I've given it a good testing.
I should check if it supports foreign characters
