Title: search tool and calc apps???
Post by: trinity on November 10, 2009, 09:32:08 AM

This is only my second day with TC so I may be missing something but after installing TC2.5 I couldn't find a calculator app nor any gui based file search tool in the repository of tcz-based apps.
Do any exist?
Thanks

mbasecalc.tcz is a calculator.

I am not on TC at the moment, but that one should show up in the search function of the appbrowser.

Hi Jason,

Thanks for the quick reply.
Yes I have now installed mbasecalc.tcz

I had a look in the archives and see that there is a galculator.tce which I guess won't run in TC2.5 but is there any plan to make tcz files of what was previously available in tce?

I think galculator is a worthy candidate as is any file search tool, such as searchmonkey, which I am desparate for so I can find my way around TC.

Thanks again

Try...gtkfind.tczl....from the repository to search for files...etc

Thanks for that.

I found emelfm and beaver apps very easy to use when first learning TC
If using emelfm remember to press little H buttons near top (displays hidden files)
and suggest you use configure button in emelfm to make a new EDIT button....
with command ..sudo beaver %f.....that way you can open and edit files very easily

perthie:
Does that mean you will be submitting this shortly in which case that's very good news about gcalculator. Thank you.

gwalther:
It's not that I needed a file manager or editor as I have xfe and leafpad already. Although I agree that beaver and emelfm are nice apps.

It's that I needed to be able to search for files to see the structure of TC. Luckily gtkfind seems to do an excellent job.
Thanks for your help anyway.

Exist a calculator similar to tabbycalc for windows?

It's all done from the keyboard and the expression is always modifiable
