Bug#743577: pcmanfm: find files inconsistent

[Andrew Kane]

Thanks, installing libfm-modules did enable the Ctrl-Shift-F Find Files
dialog, which works as expected except that you have to glob explicitly
(i.e., it left-matches as mentioned in the initial bug report unless you do
*string or similar) which surprised me, although it probably should not
have done. Using the glob in that way does not affect the Ctrl-F fikd
method. Weird!
Also, Go - Applications works now, as you mentioned.

 The issue with unavailable Find Files menu option usually happens if the
 recommended package libfm-modules is not installed, in that case the menu
 option 'Go'-'Applications' also becomes unavailable. Check if mentioned
 package is installed, please. Thank you very much.

Bug#743577: pcmanfm: find files inconsistent

[Andrew Kane]

Package: pcmanfm
Version: 1.2.0-1
Severity: minor

Dear Maintainer,

PCManFM has two apparent ways of finding files:

1) Select Tools - Find Files... (Shift-Ctrl-F)

and

2) Press Ctrl-F

Option 2, which is undocumented AFAICT, is therefore not actually apparent- but
I'm used to using that keystroke to find strings, so I stumbled upon it.
Unfortunately it's not very useful for finding files, because it only matches
from the left; that is, if you are looking for files that *contain* string
`thisstring`, the Ctrl-F will only match ones that *begin with* `thisstring`.

Option 1 does not work at all; it is grayed-out under all circumstances which I
could think of under which to test. From the ellipsis (Fiiles...) I assume that
Option 1 is meant to fire a dialog.

Thanks for all you do, and I hope you have a wonderful day.
