pFilesearch 2.2
Also, if no files are found it displays a blank results window after the dialogue saying no files were found.
Personally I don't think these are important, because I don't think most people would want to use pfilesearch by itself at the moment as it only lists results as text... if only pfind had a --advanced option so we could launch it straight to the advanced search

OK, my guess about it being to do with the number of hits must be wrong. I just tested again, and as an example, if I search for files with mp3 in their name on /mnt/sdb1, I get that error, but if I search for them in /mnt/sdb1/music, then it works... does the error message mean anything to you? Maybe it could be caused by invalid filenames or something weird...
On some searches I get a whole lot of I don't know what it means.
On other searches it seems to hang - it never comes back with a results window, and when I use the cancel button it says in the terminal
When I initially noticed a problem I had searched using pfind and the progress dialogue that says it is building a results list or something had a whole lot of those grep messages - but I can't replicate that now.
BTW have you considered adding to pfind and pfilesearch a dialogue that says "The search directory does not exist"? At the moment you just get told there were no files found, and it doesn't display the search path or anything, so you can't tell if you just typed a path wrong.
Actually, it would be cool if the error message and even the results window showed the find command
I think this is only when searching for text in files. Actually, it is very inconsistent. I searched in a folder for files containing -hello, and got a list of false hits... I'm not sure what it actually searched forpfilesearch doesn't work properly if there is a "-" in the search text.
On some searches I get a whole lot of
Code: Select all
grep: invalid max count

BTW this works in that drive - maybe when I get a chance I'll have to look at the find options pfilesearch uses and see if they work .
Good night
Code: Select all
find /mnt/sdb1 -wholename *mp3
Good night

That sounds familiar... I wonder if it was also once a bug in pfind that got fixed before you invented pfilesearch
Re: the problem searching for text in files for a string that includes a - character:
If I search for -hell or -hello I get false hits. And I notice if I search for -spitfire I see error messages in the terminal from grep, saying that p is not a valid switch. So I suspect it is a problem with quoting the -

Is it possible to exclude more than one directory from the search path? Because I couldn't figure out how
It would be nice to be able to exclude /proc, /sys, /initrd and /var

Version 1.17
See main post
This version search around 300% faster by default. - Only because /initrd is excluded by default.
Changelog
- Exclude /initrd by default
- Bugfix: Don't show excluded directory in hit-list
disciple
As far as I can find out - 'find' doesn't support several excluded directories.
