Package: mc
Version: 2:4.6.2~git20080311-1
Severity: normal
In 'Find File', it's unclear that the "case Sensitive" and "Regular
expression" boxes apply only to the 'Content' field. Example:
+----------------- Find File ------------------+
| |
| Start at: /bin/_________________________ [^] |
| |
| Filename: BASH__________________________ [^] |
| [x] Find recursively |
| |
| Content: ______________________________ [^] |
| [ ] case Sensitive |
| [x] Regular expression |
| |
| [< OK >] [ Tree ] [ Cancel ] |
+----------------------------------------------+
The search returns nothing, which some users don't expect, since "case
Sensitive" is unchecked. Since 'Filename' field does process command line
wildcards, (e.g. "[^d]ash" would return 'bash'), it's natural to
suppose that regex could be an option.
'man mc' doesn't describe which pattern matching character sets
'Filename' allows:
man mc | grep -n -A 4 "Find File" | head -n 6
874: Find File
875: The Find File feature first asks for the start directory for the
search
876- and the filename to be searched for. By pressing the Tree
button you
877- can select the start directory from the directory tree figure.
878-
879- The contents field accepts regular expressions similar to
egrep(1).
Possible fixes:
1) Add regex & case sensitive searching for 'Filename'.
(It would be useful.)
2) Or graphically segregate the 'Content' field
and its options in a surrounding sub-box; and add
text to 'man mc' explaining how 'Filename'
accepts command line wildcards only.
Hope this helps...
