Oh yeah. That’s right. But wrong place I think, like the other comment mentioned.

You don’t even need to specify the decompression algorithm anymore, I don’t even know if it was mandatory at some point but since I was introduced to Linux like 20 years ago tar would already extrapolate the decompression from the filename extension. Now for the compression I think you do need to include the algorithm, it would be nice if it would default to the extension on the supplied filename also.

I think find UI is so bad every time I use it I think about hacking a script just to make it simpler for my use case. At the same time I am very reluctant to use one of this new versions of standard commands trying to reinvent the wheel.

Some things I don’t link about find:

1. How the directory needs to be the first argument. I get the reasoning but it is such a pain, specially if you are using it with the same query repeatedly in different paths.

2. The parenthesis to set order of matches, you are doing it in the shell so you have to escape them which is never fun.

3. The fact that -name does not match partial names and there is not a version that do so you have to keep doing stuff like -name "*foo*" and of course you have to escape that shit or risk you shell expanding it. Having the GLOB version is nice but there could have a more ergonomic way to do this type, which I assume is a very common use case.

4. Actually, doing more complex logical matches is always a pain and it would be nice to have a easier way to do some common operations.

5. The fact that when you do some complex match then the -print is not automatic anymore or the the behaviour is kinda weird. And is a pain to add it in all logical branches or do it in a way that you do not repeat a lot.

Anyway, sorry for the rant.

No TempleOS (never mind. It is there… but in the wrong place) no HannaMontanaLinux and you call it a meme? How dare you.
