Locate32 Plugin for FARR by Okke
Okke:
Justice,
The following options will start an update of the databases in the next version: loc /u , loc /U , loc update
Basically what this does is use the Updtdb32.exe command to update the databases (you can set the location
of that command in the Advanced Configuration although you shouldn't have to set it since it defaults to the
same directory location as locate.exe). You won't be able to use the commandline options of Updtdb32.exe though!
It will be like executing the Updtdb32.exe command without parameters. Maybe there will be more configurable option
later but hopefully this will do for now :)
It will show the status in the statusbar. It will let you know the update is starting and also when it has finished.
Btw, it executes the update process in a new thread so it shouldn't block FARR usage.

Fantastic!!!
Oh man, this is a tremendous work, i'm looking forward to the next version!
One advice, though: don't leave "update" keyword to update the database, or people won't be able to search for files named "update" ;)
Okke:
The new version (1.00.02) is out :)
You can download it at: http://www.dcmembers.com/okke/plugins/FarrLocate32/FarrLocate32.zip
Just extract it in the Plugins\FarrLocate32 directory.
It now contains a dcupdate file as well so the next time it should be able to update it through the dcupdater tool (hopefully if all goes well ;)).
---------------
Version 1.00.02
---------------
- loc /? and loc -h show the available locate options in the resultswindow
- loc /u and loc /U update the locate databases (info is provided in the statusbar when starting and when finished)
It uses Updtdb32.exe, it's the commandline version for updating the databases. You won't be able to use the commandline options though!
It's just started without parameters which defaults to updating all databases.
(If you already had the plugin you shouldn't have to set the location of Updtdb32.exe, it defaults to the same location locate.exe is in)
- Show all results mode added. It can be enabled/disabled in the Advanced Configuration. It's turned on by default
@jgpaiva:
Yeah I figured that too so I took out both the loc update and loc help options. You could still search for them with loc "update" but that would just
be annoying ;)
Okke:
Mmmmhh, maybe it would be nice to have something like the following:
Type "loc " and then have some options in the resultswindow.....Help, Update databases and such
mouser:
yes, hamradio did this for his kk plugin and it works well.
