Type: util/cdity
This program is used for finding things, still you probably worked that out
from the name ;-). Iáwroteáitámainly becauseáIáhaveáaccessáto severaláAmigasá
(TM), each with several rather largeáhard-drive's.áIáfoundáthereáwasáaáneed to
quickly findátheálocation ofáfilesáon theámachinesáasámanyáof them have files
stored in differentálocations. There was alsoá theáarticleáinátheáAmiga
Shopperámagazine on aáfileáfindingáutility.áIámodifiedátheirácodeáa bit (Ok so
now in version 1.3 its a lot) and addedá substantialáamounts, andácameáupáwithá
thisáprogram.
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 onánon-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.
