Thank you Micha

2) Have you renamed HFinder_Classic to HFinder as stated in the readme? After changing the language the program launch another istance of the program and ends, this trick is used to restart the gui into another language.

4) Great!!! I will send you a list of the text that need to be translated

5) After these fixes I will upload the various versions in the relative archives like Aminet, OS4Depot, AROS Archives and so on

Hello, I've released a new application developed with Hollywood 3.1 and ScuiLib 0.6 Wip, it is a tool you can use to find files in your hard disks setting a search pattern and a starting search location, you can download the archive and have more detailed informations here http://sdb.freeforums.org/hfinder-v1-0-t24.html

Please report any bugs you may encounter, I've tested this program under AROS and WinUAE + OS3.x, Windows version need some more tuning and it's not available at the moment.

Have fun

PS: Oh, there is a nice "closing x" at top left of pref window! New feature of SCUILib 0.6? When will it be released?

Amazing! I searched for #?.c on my SYS: partition which contains a lot of files and even more files matching #?.c. Well, the search took ages and according to the status bar it scanned some drawers twice or thrice but when the search was finally done, some 1567 files appeared in the list view. And everything was still working... I could change the sort criteria in the list view column. It took some seconds to sort the list view, but it didn't crash. I'm really amazed that this thing runs so stable. It's not very fast but it's stable. Really

I should probably bring some more sophisticated directory scanning functions for the next Hollywood version. ReadDirectory() is pretty slow because it sorts the results using some poor bubble sort algorithm I'm thinking of a function that can be used to iterate over all entries in a directory, i.e. something like:

Code: Select all

OpenDirectory(1, "SYS:")

While MoreEntries(1)
 DebugPrint(GetNextEntry(1))
Wend

GetNextEntry() should return the name of the item and if it's a file or directory and maybe the file size and attributes also. I think something like this should come for the next version. For small directory scans, ReadDirectory() is of course fine, but for such a vast scanner like HFinder I think we need some more sophisticated control here.
