The .ahf search 2.0: A public menu test

[Ex-jazz]

Nice tool Ex-jazz, I just tried it out.

On the first run I got this error:

WindowsError: [Error 3] The system cannot find the path specified: 'C:\\AHFsearch\\AHFsearch\\ahiiterr/*.*'

I then copied my ahiiterr-folder to the specified path, and then the tool worked as it should.

It seems the path is hardcoded somewhere?

Hi

Thank you for your feedback.

Please, move whole AHFsearch folder to the Aces High\films folder. This should fix the problem.

In some error cases tools is creating a AHFsearch20.exe.log file for the error details. You can open it with Notepad.

Hi

Any other takers?

You mean it will search the text buffer? And the user-names inside the film? And the terrain? Wow.... AWESOME. I'll make sure I try this out when I get the chance.

Program works fine here... after I realized that I hadn't filled out the "subdirectories" and "match with all strings" fields. I guess that could happen to some more folks, so I would propose to add something making more clear that these fields are mandatory.

Quick question.  If I use this to search for something will my computer be busy for hours processing or does it run rather fast?  How does it work?  If it has to actually load all the films through the film viewer I think my machine will catch fire.

It does not use the film viewer at all. It's scanning the raw .ahf files and presents you a list with all films that match your search criteria.

Nice I will give it a try then.

Hi

Any user feedback out there?

Works great.   I would add something to (unless I missed it already present) dump the positive match list to a text file.  Some file details would be useful too, e.g. "date modified"  either in the results list or in such a text dump.
