Searches: There are 3 ways to search for files and populate the found item list. 1) Drop files and folder onto the Found Items List. iPassepartout can quickly list all the files/folders you drag from the Finder onto the found item list or onto the iPassepartout application icon in the Finder or in the Dock. This way you can easily browse the content of all the files the dragged folder contains. iPassepartout will scan and list the files nested in all the subfolders too. 2) A Simple Search. The Simple search allows you to define a source folder or a disk and the word you are searching for, either in the file names or in the content of text files. You can define the operator AND/OR when searching for more than one word and wheter searching for the whole word or for a substring of that word. 3) An Expert Search. The Expert searches allows you to search the files within a given folder/disk using different criteria and options like, filename, content, creation and modification date, type & creator, invisible items, search within the filePackages... iPassepartout will quickly list all the items satisfying the search criteria. Then, even while the search is still running, you can browse the found items list and see, read, play, select, copy, drag the content of the files to other applications' documents. In a while. Browsing: Clicking on the items of the found item list will tell iPassepartout to display the content of the selected files. As mentioned above, iPassepartout lets you browse on several kinds of images, audio, movies and text files. The basic tasks you can do on the content of the selected files, are: select and copy. Depending on the kind of the selected file (text, image, audio and movie) you will be able to perform additional tasks like playing a song or a movie, or searching again within a text file. For example, it's so easy to search for all the files containing the words flowers and .jpg in the whole boot disk and see the content of each image file found. Then if the file shown is really the one you were looking for, you can drag it to the Finder to make a copy, or you can crop the image and drag it to other application's documents. Or, if you are looking for a given string within the text files, you can perform a search for content, get the list of the text files containing that string, sort the list by rank, browse the content of each text file, search and locate all the occorrences of the searched string. • Complete and detailed list of features, technical notes, requirements, version history, upgrade prices, ordering info, is at the Release Notes page.
