Added cache finder button. Finds cache files in chosen directory, sorted by file size. This is useful when your save file space keeps decreasing, and you don't know why. (note: ignores "depth" setting).

It is possible to control the width of a combobox .
Two hbox widgets are needed.
I changed your code a bit and made the month change....

Accepted as an essential application... make searches faster because range is reduced... Pfind has the criteria, but not taken in account... or i am a silly user...

Re: Accepted as an essential application
Pfind provides the same search criteria, and some more, but the explanation is wrong...or better, it's misplaced.
Strangely Access-Finder doesn't allow to search for a much more important property, the ctime.
Why would anyone want it to work? I don't understand why someone needs to know the access time... ah, no, access "date", which I find even less useful. That's a serious question because I have found the atime pretty unreliable. It doesn't necessarily indicate the time when a file was accessed for reading (that is what I would like to know) and it can be suppressed by an application to increase performance.Flash wrote:What filesystems will Access-Finder NOT work on, if any?

Something is above my Q.I, about understanding access time
Something is above my Q.I, about understanding access time... It should be the last time you use it, shouldn't it ?
My goal is to delete useless stuff..

Hi @Pelo
WHY??? How does a file which hasn't been accessed hurt or affect performance? Most of today's PCs are not memory/disk constrained. And for the filesizes you are considering vs the potential problems that could incur....
This is NOT a housekeeping question. I am just curious to the benefit you are envisioning as it might be useful across the community.
Just something to consider.

as i ignore completely what means such lib,
It's a newbie method. as i ignore completely what means such lib, huge ones, as dri, i suppose if not accessed would be useless...
Un peu tiré par les cheveux (Hazardous, very hazardous !)
But 3d, bluetooth, and print can be deleted if you don't have hardware at home.
the bloat !
These ones are not really fun to play Puppy Linux..: bank, todolist, Phones numbers..
