New features which should be implemented in Porteus; suggestions are welcome. All questions or problems with testing releases (alpha, beta, or rc) should go in their relevant thread here, rather than the Bug Reports section.

Bulldog Finder for Thunar

Bulldog Finder for Thunar
Available ---->
http://www.datafilehost.com/download-6d77c676.html

I've written a nice program to find files.

It's especially designed for Thunar
see image

Instructions:

Right click 'Send To' menu and see the
'Search Inside Folder'. You can then do a search
for a file using both a name fragment or date.

Sometimes a logout and then login is necessary for
the Send To menu to be rebuilt. :(

Thank you very much, don570! I appreciate all of your input, especially the XFCE specific stuff ;) I'm trying to catch everything up and make final tweaks before 1.2 final. I don't know that I'll have time to add and test anything new, the window is closing quickly...

Anyway, regarding bulldog finder: there is currently a right click option to search folders in thunar: right click on (or in) a file and select 'search', and that will open pfilesearch, which you are probably familiar with from puppy. Bigbass brought that over as a dependency of pburn, and I have switched to using that instead of catfish in the latest versions of porteus-xfce. Please give that a shot and let me know what the advantages are to using Bulldog vs. Pfilesearch.
Please take a look at our online documentation, here. Suggestions are welcome!

Bulldog Finder will actually open a Thunar window which is very convenient.

Combined with Monkey find 1.9 it's enough for a casual user.

Note that it only works with xfce interface :(
