XLocate Description

A Qt4 frontend to the standard Linux locate utilities XLocate is a configurable X front-end to the standard Linux utilities slocate or GNU locate, used to quickly spot filenames by means of database (index) files.These tools are traditionally used to create one huge index file of the local hard disks, which is automatically updated by the system. A more flexible and convenient use is made possible using XLocate. Here are some key features of "XLocate": · Easy management of index files for local and remote file systems, including shelved collections of removable drives, CDROMs and data DVDs. · Read-only volumes are treated as such (no update expected). · Preset buttons let you define sets of volumes used in your typical searches. · If a directory name happens to match your search string, XLocate will by default refrain from listing all the sub entries of this directory, hence improving the readability of the results. · Any index file can be easily created or updated from within the application. A special effort has been made to access any command with the keyboard: · All functions are accessible through context menus (SHIFT-F10). · Unlike what happens in OpenOffice.org, Mozilla or KDE apps, SHIFT-INSERT is not a clone of CTRL-V and can be used to paste the system wide mouse (or keyboard emulated mouse) clipboard selection. · keyboard shortcuts allow for quick navigation between sub-windows. · For convenience, edition of text files and readonly display of HTML files is supported. · There is a debug mode where you can control and edit the command lines sent to the locate tools. · XLocate is entirely configurable from within the application. Requirements: · Qt · slocate · blkid from the e2fsprogs package
