I use advanced-find 3.3.1 on Xubuntu 11.10.

There are files that gedit can not open, for example *.o, in the folder.
That's why gedit is freeze.
I will see how to do for that.
Before I can fix this bug, you can limit the file pattern while searching to 
avoid it.

GEidt treats binary files *.ppu as plain text files.
That's why gedit froze.
It's a bug of gedit.

I add a filter at v3.3.2 to avoid it.
Please try it and let me know if there's any problem.

About the new version of advanced-find, it works great. Thanks a lot for your 
great responsiveness.
