Ah ha.. this is an interesting one 1a) I noticed a while back that I could use the ..\.. (etc etc) notation to move up and out of the the j602 directory to search where i wanted. (Bjorn could have used . to extend beyond Project and User)
But I don't think this allows me to move away from the drive where J is installed. Example: 'this is a little test for FiF: word insert' (1!:2)<'..\insert.txt' Searching for string 'insert_this' with '..' in the 'In Folders' field returns: c:\jsoftware\j602\..\insert_this.txt (1) insert_this Is there a way to override the 'c:\joftware\j602\' prefix? (other than hacking fif.ijs) FiF is really very useful but running J from a USB stick install would limit the it searching the stick. 1 b) It would be neat if variable substitution aka perl was possible - for example: ..\..\$pathx\conf\ where, in the current locale, pathx=:Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 6.0' or in named locale ..\..\$pathx_locale123_\conf\ 2a) When the FileType field is empty (or blank) then switching to the Help tab and back again causes an error: error in: fif_tabs_button domain error:wd wd'setselect etype ', ":j i. <FIFTYPE 2 b) Would be nice if FileType honoured the text entered - (e.g. a type of myx is ignored - must select 'All' instead) Regards David On 10/1/07, Chris Burke <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Björn Helgason wrote: > > The Find in Files folders only show projects and users. > > It is quite limiting compared to J601 which allowed to search in all folders > > It is very useful to be able to find in system folders > > Agreed, I'll restore that. > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm
