lookFor

'lookFor'

Description

    Quickly look for files on your system, using (optionally), a
string portion of the file name, the location to be searched,
and anything the file name ends with.

lf   - Returns simple file name results.
lfl  - Returns detailed file results.

Installation

Install Pre-reqs.

For Debian systems:

sudo apt install git build-essential libglib2.0-dev libgtk-3-dev gettext automake libx11-dev libxft-dev libxpm-dev libxt-dev libxext-dev x11proto-dev libxinerama-dev libxtst-dev libxkbcommon-dev libgsl-dev appmenu-gtk3-module

For Fedora systems:

Usage

lookFor string target endswith
lf string target endswith

lf
lf foo
lf foo ~
lf foo / .cpp


lookForLong string target endswith
lfl string target endswith

lfl
lfl foo
lfl foo ~
lfl foo / .cpp

NOTE:

    If the target of lookFor or lookForSelect is the root dir "/",
the user's /HOME folder is assumed un-interesting and will be skipped,
perhaps requiring a second scan for an entire system review.

    We're now also skipping /MEDIA during root scans to avoid
thrashing thumb storage file-systems. Use an explicit scan requeast.
Yeah I do.
