| Summary : A GNOME version of the GNU \"find\" utility.
|
Description :
gnome-find is a graphical, GNOME 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 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.).
It is by far more powerful than any other GUI-based \"find\" utility,
including \"kfind\" and \"gsearchtool\" (aka \"GNOME Search Tool\").
