gnome-find v0.5 has been released.
gnome-find is an easy-to-use, but powerful, graphical version of the
GNU "find" utility.
It is not just a front-end which forks and execs "find", nor is it a
utility that reinvents the wheel by rewriting the "find" utility
itself. Instead, the original source code to the GNU "find" utility
(findutils-4.1) was used, and a GUI component integrated into it.
The major highlights of this release include:
- Searching for filenames using regular expressions (-regex and
-iregex).
- Handles "~" for home directories.
- File archiving commands on search results.
- Support for searching on specific file system types (-fstype).
- Tearoff menus.
- Searching for files containing a specific string of text.
- Manually entering and executing a search command.
- Preference settings for temporary directory and shell.
- Executing a specified shell command on search results.
- HTML documentation, GNOME help, and user manual.
