General Information
-------------------
Gnome-find is an easy-to-use, but powerful, graphical version of the
GNU "find" utility.
Installation
------------
See the file 'INSTALL' for detailed instructions.
In general:
./configure
make
make install
Requirements
------------
- GTK+ (v1.2.0 or higher)
- GNOME libs
- libglade
- If you have installed the above three using a prepackaged format
(e.g., RPM format), you need to also install the corresponding
"devel" package (e.g., gnome-libs-devel) in order to compile the
sources.
Authors
-------
Gnome-find is written by Andy Kahn, and is derived from the GNU find
utility (findutils-4.1). It is distributed under the terms of the GNU
General Public License. See the file COPYING for details.

Detailed Information
--------------------
Gnome-find really is a graphical version of the GNU find utility. It
is not just a front-end which just forks and execs "find", nor is it a
utility that reinvents the wheel by rewriting the "find" utility
itself.
The original source code to the GNU "find" utility (as found in
findutils-4.1) was used, and a GUI component was integrated into it.
Consequently, the actual file finding backend component is based on
the very stable and mature code in GNU "find", while the GUI component
provides a modern, easy-to-use interface.
By making it a truely graphical program, it avoids the common
portability problems typically encountered by front-ends when they run
on systems without GNU "find", as well as avoiding messy issues with
forking a new process and communicating with it (e.g., pipes,
temporary files, etc.).
Gnome-find features a default, no-nonsense dialog for use in most
commonly specified searches. Additionally, a second, more detailed
and advanced dialog is available to specify more powerful search
parameters.
Reporting Bugs
--------------
1. Include the output from "gnome-find --info"
2. Describe the problem is as much detail as possible.
3. Try to describe exactly how to reproduce the problem.
4. Send email to the author and/or the gnome-find mailing list.
