I'm using Quirky 1.0 and I've had a long standing problem using pfind to find music files or any personal file under mnt/home. System files are no problem. I like pfind because it provides the option of playing those mp3 files once found. I've revisited this problem and have tried to resolve it but am not having any success. I called pfind using the terminal and this is what I get:
# pfind -v
Pfind 4.18
# pfind
** ERROR **: GtkDialog: Could not find the dialog description in the environment variable ‘MAIN_DIALOG’.
aborting...
/usr/local/pfind/pfind: line 608: 28694 Aborted gtkdialog3 is /u sr/sbin/gtkdialog3
** ERROR **: GtkDialog: Could not find the dialog description in the environment variable ‘MAIN_DIALOG’.

Any help is appreciated. Thanks for looking.
pfind 4.18
I believe there's an option to search inside a folder.
Using terminal....
or whatever the folder path is.
Then type part of music file name.
I made a pfind plus package to search inside a folder.
It's for 64 bit fatdog, but open it up and repackage it
if you're interested in a pet package .

Is there something wrong with gtkdialog3? Cause obviously the path, directory and file exist! I have SearchMonkey installed as well, and it works fine. I even updated pfind and still no success.

You could be right about gtkdialog3 not working right .
Barry includes both compiled versions of gtkdialog3 and gtkdialog4
in his distros of puppy even though this adds to the size of the download.
But possibly he has started to drop the compiled version of gtkdialog3 and just make
a link to gtkdialog4??? This would save space in download , but there is
the danger of incompatibility.
