After switching to KDE4 I really missed this add-on. Since it was not maintained any longer I had to port it myself :-)
kio-locate is a KDE I/O Slave for the locate command. This means that you can use kio-locate by simply typing in konquerors address box.
You can e.g. type "locate:index.html" to find all files that contain "index.html" in their name. There's even more: You can use kio-locate in all KDE applications, that accept URLs. Just take a look at the screenshots.
Thanks to Armin Straub, Tobi Vollebregt and Michael Schuerig for their great work.Last changelog:
kio-locate (0.5.3) -- Bernd Brandstetter
* Made online help available in KDE help center
kio-locate (0.5.2) -- Bernd Brandstetter
* Several fixes, mostly related to localization
kio-locate (0.5.1) -- Bernd Brandstetter
* Support for localization * Added czech and greek translations provided by Pavel and Dimitrios - many thanks!
To have a working and clean install in Debian, do the following:
• Apply the change of the comment before this comment
• mkdir build; cd build
• cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr ..
• make
• sudo checkinstall --pkgname kio-locate
If sudo is not installed, you can use su -c "…". If checkinstall is not found, it has to be installed from the package manager (sudo apt-get install checkinstall).
Thanks for the notification. I had never bothered to check whether the online help is accessible in khelpcenter. I have now just uploaded version 0.5.3 which fixes this.
Maybe there is a bug in kio_locate.kcfg?
<default code="true">i18n("(%1 Hits) %2")</default>
In my search results appears the String I18N_ARGUMENT_MISSING.
The exact steps I did to install kio-locate.
- I downloaded 120965-kio-locate-0.5.1.tar.gz in my home directory
- tar -xvpf 120965-kio-locate-0.5.1.tar.gz
- cd kio-locate-0.5.1
- mkdir build && cd build
- cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr ..
- make
- su
- make install
- run Konqueror
- type into the adress bar locate:/index.html
- I get several grouped results with a green folder icon and a title like
(670(I18N_ARGUMENT_MISSING) Treffer) /usr(I18N_ARGUMENT_MISSING)
As you can see, I am using German localisation, but this also happens in the English version.
My distribution is Gentoo, and I am using KDE 4.5.4 with Qt 4.7.1.
What else could be useful?
thanks Bernd for porting kio-locate to kde4.
this was one of my favorite tool for day-to-day work. thanks a million.
May you be blessed with all the goodness :)
Please can you add the greek translation that i have uploaded here ? :
http://www.mediafire.com/file/n2nindyzg2a/el.po
I cant compile it with the translation, is a makefile missing in the /po folder ?
I haven't worked on the translations yet, the 'po' folder is still the one from KDE3. I will provide an update within a few days which will also support building the translations (including yours :-)

miss it thanks,
Well, surely not by me. I haven't switched to 5 yet and don't plan to do so in the near future. Anybody wanting to take over the project is welcome.

Compilation fails with GCC 4.7, you need to include <unistd.h> in locater.cpp
I cannot find the documentation for the kio-locate in khelpcenter and where i can translate it

Hmm, I'm not able to reproduce this. Could you send more information?

Very useful and handy. What about to make a runner for krunner too ;) ?
Hi, The file seems to be corrupt, I get a 0-byte file with extension .gzl
Oops, indeed. I will update it in the evening when I'm back home. Thanks for the notification.
OK, fixed it now. Sorry for the inconvenience.
