pyfindfile
Fast utility for searching your entire file system for files and folders based on a file name using a fuzzy search.
About
pyfindfile uses substring matching to find files and folders in a starting directory. It traverses your file system and looks for any matches it can find.
This is useful if you are looking for where you left a file but you know its name. Searching a file's contents is slower and more complex, and this tool does not do this.
Running
- Download Python (3.8+ ideally) from the official website.
- Download the program here.
- Run it using python. Double-clicking it won't work, so you need to open a terminal, or command prompt if you're on Windows.#
Contributing
I don't intend to update the tool much, after all, it is meant to be basic. However, feel free to create an issue or pull request if you find/add anything noteworthy.
