There are alternatives to Beagle, but I'm not sure they're any more "ready for prime-time" than Beagle is.
Yeah, I agree.
Plus locate is - gulp - command line and you need a college degree to understand the regex operations in grep.
Nah. Regular expressions are the bee's knees!
Without regular expressions, programming / computers / digital life _itself_ would be impossible!!
Or... Live by the regular expression, die by the regular expression.
I could go on, but ... you know...
I dunno. Never was able to get the hang of regular expressions. I've been trying to for over twenty years of programming and still haven't. I officially gave up a year or two ago. Besides, I'm a manager now and don't have to actually think anymore. :P
I personally euthanized the darn dog on all my machines and use a logical folder structure to find things.
Well, that's great, if you can get away with it, but my library has thousands of files and no single hierarchical organizational scheme is adequate. The problem is that hierarchies are entirely indadequate for organizing most content, since there's always multiple hierarchies that validly categorize it.
I can't really describe how I do it, because it only makes sense to me, but I just did a count with KDirstat. According to that I have 83,662 files in my /home/kai folder on my laptop and 72,361 on my main desktop. Now, that includes those .hidden folders, so the actual number of files I need to take care of should be less, but I'm sure not TOO much less.
My machines work way faster.
Faster than what?
Faster than a machine running with BeagleD slowing it down. :) -- kai - theperfectreign@yahoo.com www.perfectreign.com || www.4thedadz.com www.filesite.org || www.donutmonster.com friends don't let friends use windows -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
