Here's ANGRYsearch in action

>what is mlocate

Useless shit no one needs.

Sage since this doesn't deserve a post, but I'll give you one anyway in case you aren't trolling.

good effort OP

>>47273648
a thing at the heart of angrysearch, providing data
a thing that has database limited to certain size at it seems
a thing that will make your hdd rattle even when you are just searching for something, which makes no fucking sense since it is suppose to just search the databse
...

>>47273685
>hdd
Fucking poorfags these days.

why not do it in another language so it could be integrated into a file manager?

>>47273702
no excuse for inefficiency.

>>47273705
>integrated
fuck that shit
that what irked me in the first place, every file manager has some search integrated in to it

also I actually had to learn python to make this, its not like I am here standing with C and C++ and java, haskell and ruby and choosing with what do I make this shit...

I complained a lot around, and no one competent seems to like the idea of everything-search enough to actually make it

So here it is and be glad its not in javascript and nodejs

>>47273629
This seems like a shit-tier version of find.

$ find / -name '.*muh\s*shitty\s*music.*' -type f 2>/dev/null
<lots of shitty music>

>>47273794
no doubt
find is powerful and content aware if you want it to be
also its slow

everything/angry is more like instant file/folder navigation

I like it, what it needs is a little bit of a neat UI. Add little icons for the type of item you are listing, so that you can see if its a directory or a file and what kind of file your are showing.

>>47273838
With warm caches, 3.506 to search my whole hard drive with a regular expression.

>>47273840
yeah, would love to
but I am a noob and the crawling through filesystem, indexing everything is done by mlocate pacakge, the locate command.

And though they say that internally in mlocate database they know what is folder and what is file, they dont offer a way to get that info ouf with locate command.

so unless I would be testing all paths in results if they are directory or a file, i cant distinguish between them :[

>>47273629
don't fret OP, I like it. I'm on windows now, but when I get home on my linux machine I'm going to get it right away.

>>47273773
why would you not integrate it? that's where i want to find my files so i can do things to them. sure if you're looking for a mp3 to play that's all very good but other files you want to do more complicated things to

>>47273909
I don't know much about mlocate, but in that case I would just bypass it and check the files yourself.

Only try to load the thumbnails for the items that are currently displayed (in case you display big amounts of stuff). If you want you can improve this a little by caching, or preloading nearby items.

Make it an async job in a separate thread and add the thumbnails / other infos once they are loaded, display just the paths until then, so it won't slow down the interface.

>>47273987
isnt part of linux philosophy to do one thing well?
when I complained here that linux lack everything like program people claimed integrated stuff as solution, search in dolphin, search in nemo, mlocate integrated in krusader, search feature in dmenu,...

integrate away if you want to put it somewhere but what I love about everything search when I am on windows is that its standalone...

integration actually happen on the different end, you can double click file and its opened in your file manager... so one might say file manager gets integrated in to angry...

You should make a dmenu extended plugin

Please use gksudo (or one of the alternatives) or look into https://stackoverflow.com/questions/982682/mark-data-as-sensitive-in-python/983525 instead of storing the user password/running sudo on your own. It's a security issue.

Aside from that, I really like angrysearch. Indeed it's fast as fuck. Good job.

>>47274541
maybe will bother with it if its not hard
as stated I am a noob who needs to google how to lower case string when its needed, or which one is again list/tuple/dictionary

>the whole thing is one 500 line .py file
pyQt really lets you shit out GUIs fast and easy

What was the downside using it again?

>>47274849
/g/ will think less of you

>>47274849
OP here
I never tried some different GUI appart from PySide which is basically the same as PyQt except free to use to whatever, even commercial products

its pretty easy to use and working reliably, at small shit like this..

I liked this video about Qt vs Gtk

one small thing:
it requests the sudo password even after doing sudo angrysearch
you should have it prompt for sudo only if it doesn't already have permissions

60 hours? but really dunno, might be 20 or 100

I have some basic of javascript as I made couple of browser extensions

>so with python
- done codecademy (5 hours total?)
- then some codeeval challanges (i am at 36 done as of now, starting from easiest) (10 hours?)
- paralel to codeval I tried to make first gui application, since the commonly posted /g/ challenges start with name generator I made one that scrapes wikipedia common surnames and firstnames by region and combine them in to random name (10 hours?)
- then I started with this search thing and it was rather simple at first and grew so maybe 30 hours but after some point it was just hunting bugs and tinkering on details, not really coding. At the begining there was hunting for good youtube videos tutorials to show how to stuff with pyqt

You do realise there's a find command?

find -name "searchterm"

very nice OP

>>47276744
you probably mean

find / -name "*searchterm*" 2>/dev/null

and after that you can try dicking around trying to copy part of the results to get somewhere

>>47273629
Can it directly read the MFT on NTFS partitions like Everything does? That's a big part of the whole "instant" thing.

>>47277312
nope
what it can do is tell locate command to spit its data in to a plain text file
and then push that data in to a database
then index the database for quick search

that is all, it could be called front end for locate, but locate is dump and access hdd whenever it likes, ignoring its own database

Very nice OP, I'll try this at work tomorrow.
Congrats on the initiative.

>>47277369
>>47277312
oh, and as the result its not instant, it can be uptodate if you press the updatedb button and let it finish

is it a drawback? You got damn fucking right it is

What's the purpose?

should make a patch for synapse, op

it's already a pretty solid popup searching tool, and it's got locate support, only it's not quite instant

>>47277417
- fast navigation wherever you want to go without too much clicking
- reliably and without waiting searching for stuff you know you got somewhere on your disks

thats my usage for it

>>47277461
Oh ,okay. It's just useless for me unfortunately.
Nice work though OP.

Have you even used Linux?

Search is one of Gnome3's primary navigation tools, you can hit the super key, type shit, it'll match a file/document/program/software that can be installed from repos.
Unity does this too, not as nice as Gnome but adds lenses so you can add/remove search sources.

>>47277664
krunner also does this. However, OPs program is the only one I'm aware of that does this without being part of a massive DE, so there's some merit at least.

Why would I need this? Mlocate and spacefm's file search (not to mention find) work perfectly well.

This is actually pretty cool. I don't know how many people would use it but it could be big if something like Mint or Manjaro catches on to it.

gentoo ebuild when?

>>47274161
OP DO THIS I CAME HERE TO SAY THAT

this is pretty sick. So there isn't a competent version of Everything Search out there already? I'm pretty new so I didn't know, but I feel like people would want this.

>>47278070
The people that want this probably use DEs like GNOME or KDE that already have this functionality.

Everything is botnet.
Emailed the developer a few minutes ago, asking him what Everything is using my bandwidth for, before blacklisting it in my firewall.

>>47278283
Man, I feel like proprietary software just keeps getting shittier and more malicious these days.

>>47278305
I know. I installed Everywhere today to try it out again and for some reason decided to check my network activity, only to find out that Everything was using up some of my bandwidth.
Tried to google it, but to no avail, due to its name (mostly).

>>47278353
Where did you download it from?

>>47278388
The original site. It's trying to communicate with live.rads.msn.com, an ad server.

Just ctrl+r 'resmon.exe' and monitor it from there. Or use wireshark.
