- Short: A comodity based file finder. V1.1 (26/2/95)
- Author: u9326383@radon.sys.uea.ac.uk (Mark Melton)

- Type: util/cdity
-
- This program is used for finding things, still you probably worked that out from the name ;-).
- I wrote it mainly because I have access to several Amigas (TM), with rather
- large hard-drive's. I found there was a need to quickly find the location of files on
- the machines as many of them have files stored in different ways. There was also
- the article in the Amiga Shopper magazine on a file finding utility. I modified their code a bit and
- added substantial amounts, and came up with this program.
-
- Current features in version 1.1
-
- -> Find any file on a disk, using standard AmigaDos(TM) file matching patterns.
-
- -> Fully implemented as a commodity, with user definable hotkey etc.
-
- -> Limit search size parameters, only files in a certain size range are checked.
-
- -> Limit date range parameters, only files in a ceratain date range are checked.
-
- -> Window is now sizable.
-
- -> Slightly faster search routine.
-
- -> Interface is now an "AppWindow", when a file or directory is droped on the interface its path is entered in
- the path gadget.
-
- + a few bug fixes.
-
- -> Stack overflow fixed. Reported by millions (well at least four people :-)
-
- -> GUI problems when running on non-interlaced NTSC machines fixed. Reported by a NTSC A500 user, thanks!
-
- -> Problems with SoftLinked directories fixed. Well they now work on my machine, if you know different let me
- know ;-).
-
- -> All gadget enteries are remembered even if GUI is hidden.
-
- -> Close window gadget now "hides" the interface instead of closing it.
