ScuzzBlog: Diaries June 2024 Entry 24th June 2024: Post 1: Amiga Workbench - 3.0/3.1 Search. Amiga Workbench - 3.0/3.1 Search. Just a quickie tonight showing the magic of the 'Search' facility. I'm sure at some point mucking around with the Workbench you have accidentally dropped a whole load of files into an open drawer and then forgotten which one it was. Simple solution is to check that in your 'C' directory you have the 'search' tool and all your problems are solved. Simply fire up the SHELL/CLI and type in ... search [directory/volume]; all file and the name of a file you want to track down, in the example I used Heddley, and like magic it will scan the volume and tell you where it is. I hid a text file in a drawer inside the Heddley drawer and the Amiga found 'Clara is hiding' in double time. Use quotation marks if there are spaces in the file title. This came with OS3.1 but I ran it also on Workbench 3.0. Whilst preparing the blog I came across a link from the very lovely Cammi for Grunch a useful tool that advises of what dependant files are missing from your system to support known applications. Have fun. Amiga Workbench - 3.0/3.1 Search.
