- This program is used for finding things, still you probably worked that out
- from the name ;-). I wrote it mainly because I have access to several Amigas
- (TM), each with several rather large hard-drive's. I found there was a need to
- quickly find the location of files on the machines as many of them have files
- stored in different locations. There was also the article in the Amiga
- Shopper magazine on a file finding utility. I modified their code a bit (Ok so
- now in version 1.3 its a lot) and added substantial amounts, and came up with
- this program.
-
- Current features in version 1.3
-
- -> Find any file on a disk, using standard AmigaDos(TM) file matching patterns.
-
- -> Fully implemented as a commodity, with user definable hotkey etc.
-
- -> Limit search size parameters, only files in a certain size range are checked.
-
- -> Limit date range parameters, only files in a ceratain date range are checked.
-
- -> Window is sizable.
-
- -> Interface is an "AppWindow", when a file or directory is droped on the
- interface its path is entered in the path gadget.
-
- -> Now able to search multiple paths.
-
- -> Much faster when doing date or size limited searches. Now only 25% slower doing
- a date limit search. 60% slower in pre 1.3 versions. Size limit search now
- has no visible overhead. 50% slower in pre 1.3 versions.
-
- -> MUCH FASTER overall when searching, upto four times faster than pre 1.3
- versions!!!
-
- + a few bug fixes.
-
- -> Stack overflow fixed. Reported by millions (well at least four people :-)
-
- -> GUI problems when running on non-interlaced NTSC machines fixed. Reported by
- a NTSC A500 user, thanks!
-
- -> Problems with SoftLinked directories fixed. Well they now work on my
- machine, if you know different let me know ;-).
-
- -> All gadget enteries are remembered even if GUI is hidden.
-
- -> Close window gadget now "hides" the interface instead of closing it.
-
- -> Solved problem with overflowing text when using topaz 8 font.
