not easy to use grepWin #380

Open okpapt opened 1 year ago

okpapt commented 1 year ago

Hello,

Sorry for my poor english and mistake.

I discovered grepWin yesterday.

a) With other programs, the order making a search is : 1) path 2) file name 3) file attribute 4) file content

and with grepWin : 1) path 2) file content 3) file attribute 4) file name

b) Can you purpose choice between your interface and usual order, or offer us to use/create skin ?

c) Replace setting button by a wheel.

d) French translation is not complete, for example "tread files as binary".

e) In "setting" change language, purpose country in native language.

f) Add a preview file windows

g) Right click on file purpose "open folder content this file"

Thank you.

What other programs do you mean? And why do you think the 'order' of grepWin is wrong? I mean I almost never change the settings for attributes or file names at all. So the first and only thing I want to do is to enter the search text and hit enter.

c) Replace setting button by a wheel.

Sorry, I don't understand. What do you mean by 'wheel'?

d) French translation is not complete, for example "tread files as binary".

translations are done by other users. You can edit the file yourself if you like: https://github.com/stefankueng/grepWin/blob/main/translations/French.lang

e) In "setting" change language, purpose country in native language.

not very likely to change, but I'll keep it in mind.

f) Add a preview file windows

g) Right click on file purpose "open folder content this file"

you mean the entry in the context menu at the very top that reads "Open containing folder" ?

I believe the ask is to replace the settings input from the text Settings to some sort of cog/wheel icon (⚙️). I assume they were looking for settings in attempt to change language options, but since English is not their primary language, it was non-trivial to find a settings panel which could help them switch to a language they better understood.
