Excellent direction, at least to begin with! `locate' is installed by default via `diffutils' (in the base distribution), but it did not return any result... So, I've updated the database, and set up a cron job: --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- 5 5 * * * nice updatedb --localpaths=3D'/cygdrive/c /cygdrive/z' --prunepat= hs=3D'/cygdrive/c/cygwin /cygdrive/c/RECYCLER' --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- Now, `locate' return the correct results, but... it's still not visible in my `anything' buffer on Windows (while it is described in the sources): --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- ;; source of candidates for anything (setq anything-sources (list anything-c-source-locate anything-c-source-tracker-search anything-c-source-buffers anything-c-source-bookmarks anything-c-source-file-name-history anything-c-source-man-pages anything-c-source-info-pages )) --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- It is like if the processes was not called or ...? Though, I've no error messages returned... What could I do to check where the problem comes from? Best regards, Seb --=20 S=E9bastien=A0Vauban
