Adding Images in Posts
In order to add an image to a discussion, you need to first have a url to the image. This means that you have to upload the image to somewhere on the internet.
One easy way to do this is to use www. www.postimage.com.
You need to upload your image (remember anyone can see the image by reading a posting here, or other methods). After you upload the image you need to copy the 'html' line and paste it into a discussion comment.
Here is the format of an image in html. (only needed if you do not use postimage.org)
<img src="http://site.com/pictlink.jpg"/>
This forum does not use BBCode - rather it uses html.

Leap 1: [Sticky] Leap and Yep vs Finder - Spotlight searching results in different file count

Spotlight on Leopard:
When Leap or the Finder does a search using the spotlight 'engine' on Leopard, Spotlight returns documents from various places all over the hard drive, (but not everywhere). It does however return files in many unuseful locations, such as Library/Caches, etc. The Finder then takes these 'raw' results and filters out places that you are almost certainly not interested in seeing results in. For the most part I agree with what the Finder team decided.
Leap tries to search the same locations as the Leopard Finder for spotlight searching, PLUS a few additions. So For instance on my computer, Searching for PDFs, I get 1613 with the Finder by doing a 'Kind is PDF' search on 'This Mac'. Leap finds 1908 PDFs. The extra items that Leap finds are mostly in the Developer/Library folder where I decided that there was some useful data that we should not skip. There are also a few other small places that Leap adds as useful places.
I show three screen shots here. Note the first is a PDF search in Leap. The second is a PDF search in the Finder, for 'Kind is PDF', then select all the results and drag them over to Leap. Leap then shows you what the Finder found. Nice. As you can see the results are close, and Leap added items in Developer (in the developer library folder).
Path Finder, I think does NOT use Spotlight and is more similar to a GoDeep search in Leap (not sure about that though). So it finds every PDF in the places you ask it to search. You might be able to do a similar select all in Path Finder and drag it into Leap to see where it found PDFs. You might want to do it one drive at a time.
If you want to use the GoDeep on Leap to do the same thing, you can start a GoDeep search on a hard drive, then when there is a PDF doc shown in the file types click on it, and a GoDeep search will be done on that hard drive for PDFs. This will take a lot longer than a Spotlight Search!. On my machine I did such a search on my main Mac and it returned yet more results. (searching as I write this Leap looked through 1.2 million files - finding almost 5000 pdfs).
A few more points:
- Spotlight on Tiger actually returns more documents for the same query than on Leopard, due to the fact that the Tiger version does far less filtering of results.
- Yep also does very little filtering, and will return more PDFs than Leap will for the same folder.
- This also means that Leap will return fewer results than Tiger's Spotlight, since Leap is using Leopard like filtering (which we think is actually a good thing).
- It has always been a feature idea to have an option to not filter, and just show all results.
- One thing that I did in Leap. If you pick your Library folder as your location, then the filter is turned off, and more results are shown.
File counts in Leap: Don't forget that that sometimes the same file is counted twice or more in the Finder panel. Eg a file called funny.pdf if it is your home folder will show up as a count under your 'Macintosh HD' and under your home account. So adding up the numbers in the Finder panel will not always make sense.
Search on 'Computer' for PDFs on my computer.
Search using the Finder for pdfs by picking kind is PDF. Select all the results in the Finder search, then drag into Leap to see where all the results are.
Here you can see that there are 1613 files found by the Finder Spotlight search. 1523 on 'Macintosh HD' and 90 on Backup. Of the 1523 on 'Macintosh HD', 1424 are in my home account.
Go Deep search with Leap, PDFs only. Scanned 1.2 million files.
Hope this helps.
