Hello All !

Like with OS 11.3 I used Yast software manager to install “nautilus-search-tool” extension to put “search for files” on the context menu of folders. But nothing works, extension doesn’t appear on context menu. Is it a bug to be resolved or is there any special issue about ?

Thanks a lot for any help !

See u
Mike

i can’t help directly (don’t use Gnome) but maybe there is a bug
logged on that? you can check here:
http://en.opensuse.org/Submitting_Bug_Reports

or, maybe someone else has had a similar problem and solved it, and
google might find that (or not), using a search similar to

or, maybe a Gnome user comes along with a solution…

or, if no one around here can help you might try contacting the
author, i see in YaST that that is: azagli AT inwind DOT it

Hi DenverD

Thanks for your quick answer. Unless I am mistaken I didn’t find anything about this trouble on these links or other google searching.
But I did this action > Basic extention inside Yast is 0.3.0-9.1 version. On OpenSUSE download link i find 0.3.0-14.1 version. So i installed this one > nothing more even after reboot.

When i read the changelog of this extension in Yast it is written >

15 septembre 2010 (vuntz@opensuse.org):

  • Use gnome-search-tool BuildRequires instead of gnome-utils for
    11.4 and later, since gnome-search-tool got split.

So > 1st : after nautilus-search-tool uninstalling i installed gnome-search-tool with Yast > this search tool works perfect as it looks inside all the tree (find its icon launcher “in more softwares” panel / accessories). 2nd : i re-installed nautilus-search-tool (ver 0.3.0-14.1), reboot the system and all works fine now. I have the context search tool.

It should be interesting to know what is the real reason. See u Mike

happy your sorted it out…i guess built the old
nautilus-search-tool into gnome-search-tool and forgot to tell
everyone to remove the old…but, that is just a WILD guess

anyway, CONGRATS on your solution!! [SOLVED]
