Karolis Martinkus <[email protected]> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |[email protected] --- Comment #3 from Karolis Martinkus <[email protected]> --- I think it would be better to implement this as a new thunar plugin, same way it is with thunar-achive-plugin, thunar-media-tags-plugin and others. I'd call it thunar-search-plugin. Motivation for this is because I think this adds up some complexity in several places (not that I would be familiar with the code itself, sadly), but also - maybe not all users may want this, especially those "minimal install" fans, including me. I can see thunar getting a UI upgrade by installing this plugin, example - a search field always sitting in the top, right of the location bar, and an extra tab in the settings dialog. Thunar should also be able to display files sitting in multiple directories (results of the search), as opposed to working always only on current working directory. I believe this search should happen from current directory going in recursively (optionally including hidden files/folders). For starters - it could look at only filenames. For example, I currently have this in my bash profile: `alias findhere='find . | grep -i'` - works for me, somehow I find it faster than `find . -iname "*$1*"`, but it returns what I suspect should be the most basic minimal goal of this feature. Adding more advanced search later on (full text search, picture file metadata, pdf authors, ...). Thunar has it's own versioning, but I guess this should be targeted together with xfce 4.16 or whatever the next installment will be called. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug. _______________________________________________ Xfce-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://mail.xfce.org/mailman/listinfo/xfce-bugs
