Hello.

Just today I discovered Find has a bug I am reporting now. Then tonight I discovered Find has a more serious bug causing it to crash! It was recoverable.I will discuss both now. Note that as it is impossible to duplicate my system on your machines I don't know if the bug will show up when you test it but I will demonstrate how to reproduce it. My Workbench volume is formatted with FFS7.

1. Bug: Find doesn't free a DirContext.
Open up the Find window and select Workbench to search in. Now put "image" as the search in Contents and press Start. Let it start searching for a few seconds and then Stop it! I get a requester saying:

The DOS resource tracker has detected an unfreed resource while deallocating a DOS process.

Process: "Find - Search process"
Function: "ReleaseDirContext() tracker."

2. Crash: While searching for Contents.
Once again open up the Find window but this time I had a window selected that was a few levels deep into an SFS formated volume. Kinda funy but this time search for "war" in Contents. I get a GrimReaper!

Here's the log.

Amusingly I also have a log from 2007 that looks like a duplicate. What an old bug!

I do same on peg2 / latest aos:

1. First small-bug reproducable here as well. I just choice "system:", put to contents field "image" words, then start, wait for 5 seconds, and press stop : and amidos window with words about deallocating a DOS process with ReleaseDirContext() are here.

2. I not so understand about "but this time I had a window selected that was a few levels deep into an SFS formated volume". You mean you run find, and by RMB choice SearchPatchs / Add Path and add there SFS volume with 3 directoryes deep ? If so, i do it, mark only that path, put in "contents" field "war" words, press start, and all going fine. But the i choice other path, and trying to search in it , and button "STOP" just never works ! I.e. i press "Start" button, and button deactivates, but searching not starts. I trying to press STOP and no luck (maybe because at this time some "scanning of dirs" happens, but for sure Stop should work all the time).

Looks like you found a problem also with Stop. Wonder if they are related.

But I could see how my description was slightly confusing. I didn't do as you suggested. What I did was open up the root window of a partition on the Workbench and then opened up a few drawers from that same partition until I found the drawer I wanted. I then pressed RAmiga-F. Used RAmiga-Z ro deselect all and clicked the top one (the drawer) to just activate that. Then started my search.

Wish it just activated the drawer I was in!

I have tried your tests here with a beta system, and neither crashes are showing here. I can only assume that this has been fixed since the last update.

Both your tests were reproducible on my Sam system running the public Update2 baseline.

I tried the latest beta version of "Find" on my Update2 machine, and the problems were gone. I'll add a request to the Update3 archive to include the latest Find.

Thanks for the report, even though it looks like you were beaten to it

Same strange result here, but good that it is already fixed

Yes it does but that is good to hear. Hopefully my reports won't delay Update 3 much futher with tidbits.

Thanks also for testing and confirming this.
