SYNOPSIS

use Gtk2;
use Glib qw(TRUE FALSE);
use Gtk2::Ex::FileLocator;

Gtk2->init;
$this = new Gtk2::Window;

$this->set_title('File QuickFind');
$this->set_position('GTK_WIN_POS_MOUSE');

DESCRIPTION

The File QuickFind dialog allows the user to retrieve the icon for a particular file, or conversely to obtain the fully-qualified filename for an icon.

The File QuickFind dialog presents a small window containing a drop pocket and a text field. If the user drags an icon from the Desktop into the drop pocket, the text field will show the icon's location on the system with its full path name. If the user types a name in the text field, the dialog will search for an icon matching that name in the user's home directory, then, if no matching icon is found, in the directories specified in the user's path environment variable. Icons that appear in the drop pocket can be dragged out onto the Desktop or manipulated in place (ex., double-clicked).
