I use now "search from @c:\mylist.txt", and want to suggest better information for NOT found files.
a) Title "Searchpath not found" is confusing. Are the "path" or the "files" or "path with files" not found?
b) The pure message box is unhandy. It wraps long paths, can not be increased and does not show all results. Maybe you can replace the message box with an intelligent list?
Have a good time!

a) This means that the path in which the search should start couldn't be found. If the list file couldn't be found you get a "File not found" instead.

Re: Serach from @c:\mylist.txt - improve message
I want to give an example. I have (among others) these lines stored in "c:\filelist.txt"
A search with "@c:\filelist.txt" works fine.
Then I renamed file and folder:
A search with "@c:\filelist.txt" shows a message:
Code: Select all
d:\xxx\del_file.txt
d:\xxx\del_folder\del_file.txt
Then I renamed file and folder:
Code: Select all
d:\xxx\del_file.txt --->> d:\xxx\zzz_del_file.txt Folder still exists, but not the file
d:\xxx\del_folder\del_file.txt --->> d:\xxx\zzz_del_folder\del_file.txt Folder does not exist, but the file in in
Maybe I have the wrong understanding of the word "Searchpath", but in a precise description I would see ...Searchpath not found (2x)
d:\xxx\del_file.txt
d:\xxx\del_folder\del_file.txt
Or a simple message would be:File not found:
d:\xxx\del_file.txt
Path not found:
d:\xxx\del_folder\del_file.txt
PeterNot found (2x):
d:\xxx\del_file.txt
d:\xxx\del_folder\del_file.txt

What is so complicated to understand the word Searchpath ?
