- Subject: Searching in setup.exe
This is initially a "how does one...?" question, but may also be a
design/suggestion for setup.exe as per the rules of
http://cygwin.com/lists.html#cygwin-apps.
Here's the scenario: having used cygcheck -p to locate the name of a
package that I'd like to download, I find myself staring at
setup.exe's collapsed tree view, wondering where the package is
located. Most of the time I know the partial name of the package, and
in the cygcheck case I know the exact name. But I still have to find
the containing category in order to click on the known name. Sometime
it's obvious, sometimes it isn't.
So my question: does search.exe support some kind of "search package
names" operation inside the GUI? Skimming and googling over the
archives of cygwin-apps turned up nothing.
