Locate 3.0 - great *FAST* HD search tool!

<< < (29/33) > >>

Edit: The program's home page lists a slightly old beta (it didn't have the thumbnails feature).
Here's the link to the Locate32 Beta Page

3.1.8.3260 has thumbnails, there is a message for that in the main page. The downloads page lists only all exe packages (with installers, no beta) and links to locations where other versions can be found.

nosh:
3.1.8.3220 is the last beta linked from the main page, which I'm assuming is http://locate32.net

The only reference to .3260 is regarding translations. Am I missing something?

Carol Haynes:
Try the beta download page at http://locate32.net/files/betas/

Ups  :-[, it seems that I have forgotten to add a message for 8.3260. It's there now.

J-Mac:
After reading much praise of this application for a long time here at DC, I finally had the time and nothing in particular else to do yesterday afternoon  (before some other storm hit the fan!), so I downloaded and installed Locate32.  Beta version.  And of course since I had never installed a "stable" version, which includes the Windows installer, I had to figure out where to put which file and what to run to get the DB in place, etc., etc.  (What an idiot I am! Figured it out and ran the installer with the released version on my notebook after this and it was much easier!).

Anyway, I haven't had a chance yet to run through any serious searches - what I lovingly call my "PANIC searches"!! - what I have done so far was pretty darn impressive based on both speed and on the items it did find.  For example I searched using the first five characters for a file that I know is buried pretty deep and that there is only one possible result for those characters, and it had the result before I even finished typing!  Of course I type extremely fast; about 15 to 20 words per minute!!  If I look at the keys the whole time.... But Locate32 had the filename sitting there in the results box by the time I looked up from the keys.  Very quick.  I also tried searching for a filename that I knew positively was repeated exactly 10 times on my PC.  Of course it found about triple that - pre-fetch and the like.  But all results were that filename I knew about and references/links to that same filename elsewhere.

So at first blush, Locate32 is impressing the heck out of me!!

Thanks!

Jim
