Description: a gnome version of the the GNU find utility
Gnome-find is an easy-to-use, but powerful, graphical version of the
GNU "find" utility. It is not just a front-end which just forks and
execs "find", nor is it a utility that reinvents the wheel by rewriting
the "find" utility itself.
.
The original source code to the GNU "find" utility (as found in
findutils-4.1) was used, and a GUI component was integrated into it.
Consequently, the actual file finding backend component is based on the
very stable and mature code in GNU "find", while the GUI component
provides a modern, easy-to-use, yet powerful, interface.
.
By making it a truely graphical program, it avoids the common
portability problems typically encountered by front-ends when they run
on systems without GNU "find", as well as avoiding messy issues with
forking a new process and communicating with it (e.g., pipes, temporary
files, etc.).
.
gnome-find features a default, no-nonsense dialog for use in most
commonly specified searches. Additionally, a second, more detailed and
advanced dialog is available to specify more powerful search
parameters.
