Warning! There is odd obscure bug in pfind when you search a specific folder.
I discovered that the folder name must not have a '$' character.
I didn't check for other characters. Nothing too serious.
Here is an example...

I noticed that when making a right click script for Easy linux
there was an unusual behaviour that I haven't seen in other versions of puppy linux.
Barry K warned that a pinstall.sh script was necessary.
This worked well .

However a script that my PET package installed
needed "$1" passed to pfind. Apparently a Bash rule.

Code: Select all

#!/bin/sh
pfind -d "$1"

For what it is worth,
i have 1462 files and dirs in my ntsf MS Window partition, that have at least one $ in the name.

Code: Select all

# f5 \\\$ | wc 
   1462    4676  163573
#

F5 is my bash script version of slocate. Slocate used to be a shell script.

$ is a special character in bash, and needs to be escaped and you need to be careful that the bash expansions in the script work correctly.

Thank you.

In this bug pFind doesn't search in the folder that is designated i.e. the foldername has a "$" character.
Fortunately this is rare.

The filename can have "$" character.

Thanks for testing.
I warned about using different versions of puppy because the link is
put in 'OpenWith' folder. Earlier versions of puppy linux used the "SendTo" folder.

.. but it probably doesn't matter.
