    hello from Japan
    I used WinFindr on Windows 7.
    Generally liked it, but there were a few things that bothered me.
    First, I assume that I'm using Japanese 2-byte characters.
    (Perhaps the same things may be observed with Chinese, etc.)

    1. Words are reversed when inputting in-line
      It is rare, but while entering an idiom consisting of two or more kanji characters (for example, a place name or a person's name), the order of the kanji characters was reversed and the word became a word with a completely different meaning.

    2. When I change the setting to Japanese (Settings > User interface language: Japanese - 日本語)
      When I start my search and the results appear, the following annoying message appears.
      ----------
      Format '%d 秒以内に %.0n 個のパスを検索し、%d 個の結果を見' invalid or incompatible with argument.
      ----------
      I am sure that the number of searches, time, etc. that should be displayed in the footer are not being displayed properly.

    I was also disappointed that the mouse wheel was not supported.
    I haven't used it long enough yet, but I thought the ability to search for registry keys was great. Thank you very much.

      I automatically translated just that section of the article.

      In my environment, when I set the search to Japanese, the following error dialog appeared every time the search was completed.
      (The search itself seemed to be working fine.)
      If this error dialog bothers you, you may want to leave it as 'English - English'.

        Thank you for your feedback!

        About the issues you report:

        Words are reversed when inputting in-line

        Which input area this happens on? In the search words area? Or all?

        the following annoying message appears.

        Does it happen every time?

        I was also disappointed that the mouse wheel was not supported.

        Is mouse wheel not supported in the results list or which area are you referring to? Are you using the mouse wheel on a real mouse or some builtin wheel in a laptop?

            Update: I was able to reproduce the "annoying message" issue. This was a nice bug, thank you very much for reporting! This will be fixed in the next released version.

            jv16 Which input area this happens on? In the search words area? Or all?

            It is the “Search terms:” field.
            I don't know the cause and it may be due to my IME.
            However, it has occurred since then, and it is true that such things do not happen with other software.

            Regarding the mouse wheel, it did not work in the search results field.

            Anyway, I will continue to use it and look forward to the next version regarding the message.
            Thanx

                Regarding the mouse wheel, it did not work in the search results field.

                Do you use a normal mouse with a mouse wheel or something like a laptop with a builtin mouse?

                I have a couple of people reporting this issue but I cannot reproduce it. The mouse wheel works on the result list for me, in every testing system that I have. I would really love to fix this issue!
