Catfish

Set default search parameters?

Asked by Si Dedman

Hi Sean, guys,

I was wondering: is it possible, either by a program tweak to expose the settings, or by manually editing a file somewhere, to change the default search parameters,

e.g. from: location=user's home folder, modified=any time, file type=all
to: location=specific NTFS drive, modified=last week, file type=folde

?

Cheers

Si

Is it possible to change/remove the default launchpad expiry from 15 days? You guys are busy and it seems odd that someone would have to look at this that quickly...

Notes, mostly to myself:

In CatfishWindow.py:

        # Set the selected folder path.
        self.folderchooser.set_filename(self.options.path)

This section controls the time option:
def on_radio_time_any_toggled(self, widget):

These are the file type toggles:
    # File Type toggles
    def filter_format_toggled(self, filter_format, enabled):
        self.filter_formats[filter_format] = enabled
        logger.debug("File type filters updated: %s", str(self.filter_formats))
        self.refilter()

    def on_documents_toggled(self, widget):
        self.filter_format_toggled("documents", widget.get_active())

etc for other options, but "folders" is missing...!

This is partially the same as this bug, sorry: https://answers.launchpad.net/catfish-search/+question/241569
