How to easily navigate a large filesystem?

I programmed something that will help navigate a large filesystem.
First, the program crawls the whole filesystem, then you can simply type "j [query]" and then it will return the top 5 results matching the query.

Is anybody interested?

Not really:
locate -A ~ foo
In other words, pass your home dir as one of the patterns, and tell locate to match all patterns. locate(1) for more details.
Good work though, nothing beats scratching your own itch.
Haha thanks
On the other though....:
[~]$ locate -A ~ nacl
locate: warning: database `/usr/software/var/locatedb' is more than 8 days old
[~]$ updatedb --localpaths="/home/ec2-user"
/usr/software/bin/updatedb: line 223: /usr/software/var/locatedb.n: Read-only file system
I guess most users on this forum use Linux on their own desktop, so privileges won't be an issue for the most part. Hmph.
Ideally, a user should not even have to lookup/know which flags to use. Ideally, it should be "Google like" -- just type in your query, and you got what you want.
The problem might be that it's not that big of an upgrade, i.e. not a big deal.
Could you look at https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=167567 ? this is a tangential offshoot to what I did here.

Hi figgienewton,
To scan an item to be attached to an email, please follow these steps:
1. Open the IJ SCAN UTILITY program.
2. In the Canon IJ Scan Utility window that opens, click SETTINGS.... in the bottom right of the window. The Settings dialog box appears.
3. Click the DOCUMENT SCAN or PHOTO SCAN option on the left pane of the window, depending on what you would like to scan.
4. In the right pane of the window, locate the APPLICATION SETTINGS section, then click on the radio button next to the ATTACH TO EMAIL option.
5. In the drop-down arrow next to the ATTACH TO EMAIL field, select your email application. If your email program is not listed, please click the ADD... button to navigate to the location of your email program, then click OK to have that email
program added to the drop-down field.
6. Once your email program has been specified in the APPLICATION SETTINGS section, click the OK button at the bottom of the window to save the changes. The IJ Scan Utility main screen appears.
7. Click the DOCUMENT or PHOTO button, depending on what you are trying to scan and attach to email. Scanning starts. When the items are finished scanning, your email program will be launched and the scanned item(s) will be attached.
Hope this helps!

HT4112 how does one navigate with out the use of a mouse? do we still need to use finger to move to different things?

how does one navigate the keyboard without a mouse. Do we still use finger to move from place to place?

Yes you still need to use your finger to do all of the things that you need to use it for even if you use a wireless keyboard. You are merely adding a larger more robust keyboard to the device. You are not replacing the touch gestures features with the use of an external keyboard.

I cannot figure out how to make the text larger on an incoming email. The finger method doesn't work and I cannot find any toolbar with which to do it. I could find nothing in settings also. Plese help and thank you.

I cannot figure out how to make the text larger in a received email. The finger method doesn't work and I can find no tool bar as I can for composing emails. I can find nothing in settings. Please help and thank you in advance.

Hi there,
Download a piece of software called TinkerTool - that might just solve your problem. I have used it myself to change the system fonts on my iMac. It is software and not an app.
Good wishes,
John.

How can I convert a large batch of NEFs to JPGs in one step or action?

How can I convert a large batch of NEFs to JPGs in one step or action? I'm very new to Lightroom and know almost nothing about it, so I need to know step-by-step. I've seen online advise about exporting but I don't know what that means - export from where to where? Can anyone help me? Thanks!

I suggest you take a little time to watch some tutorials. If you are that new to Lightroom that you don't understand what export means then it would probably be a good idea for you to get some other information as well. If you don't I think you'll find Lightroom can be very confusing. You haven't indicated what version of Lightroom you are using. The link I'm providing you is a series of getting started videos for Lightroom 5. And just about everything in this series will apply to other versions. You will note that there is one video devoted exclusively to exporting images. But I think you really need to watch the whole series.

gv_transcr_popup->set_on_close_event( iv_view = me iv_event_name = 'AssignTranspReq' ).
gv_transcr_popup->set_display_mode( if_bsp_wd_popup=>c_display_mode_surrounded ).
gv_transcr_popup->open(   ).
through the iv_usage_name i will open in this popup a search view from another window
in this window is a searchview implemented and now after selecting the line in the result view in want to navigate through outbound plug / inbound plug to the starting view .
but i get the exception
Target view AIC_CM_TRANS/TransportReq of the navigation is not assigned to the current window AIC_CM_TRANS/AssignTranspReq ( which is true)

How do I share a large file between accounts on my imac

Put the file in a folder that both users have access to, such as /Users/Shared or one user's Public folder. You may also need to change its permission settings in the Finder Info window.

How do I navigate from a hyperlink on one page to an anchor within the tab widget?

Hi guys can you please assist me with that issue I am describing in the question: How do I navigate from a hyperlink on one page to an anchor within the tab widget? I assume that it is not working because the tab widget is truly just on one page and anchors work within a page but not a specific tab. Is there a way around that?
Thanks.

an interesting question. Anchors work across pages (global) without any problem. Do they work within tabs or any other widgets I haven't tried, but it looks like you have and without success. I can see the temptation for doing this, but if you think about it why would you? Set the anchor on the page next to the tab(s) and hey presto the user needs only click the tab to which the hperlink refers, nothing could be more convenient! Of course, if the user cannot relate the tab to the hyperlink there's a problem. Generally solved by titling (like if the hyperlink is cats, the tab should preferably read cats and not dogs)! It's the only work around i can think of. Hope it helps.

One of the available commands in the Action Wizard is Print (under the More

A pdf file failed to convert to word, presumably because of size. how do i split a large pdf file into manageable secrtions?

I'm running Abode Reader XI version 11.0.7. Repeated attempts to convert a large (439 page) file, a dissertation, failed. How do I split a large pdf file like this into manageable sections for conversion?

Hi Mike,
Your 11MB file is well within the file-size limits for ExportPDF, but depending on the number of pages, complexity of the file (and yours doesn't sound complex), and your connection speed, it is possible that the service is simply timing out before it can finish processing. These steps can help:
If the file already contains editable text (that is, it isn't a scanned document), try disabling OCR as outlined in this this document: How to disable Optical Character Recognition (OCR) when converting PDF to Word or Excel.
Clear the browser cache and try again.
Try a different browser.
Let's start there. If you still can't export the file to Word, let me know and we'll take it from there.
Best,
Sara
