3.2 A quick file found

If you run a first instance of Smbc, Smbc creates a child process. A child process is looking for all files from network and saves it to file "findfileprim" in "~/.smbc" directory. When all files form network were found the child process rename file "findfileprim" to "findfile" and sends message to Smbc process that a process from network searching files was finished. At this time you can use a quick find file function. If you run more than one instance of Smbc only one Smbc indexing files from network process is started. If this instance of Smbc will be closed, next instance of Smbc creates a child process for indexing a network files. The child process after finishing files from network indexing waits "indextime" (see Content of parameters form ~/.smbc/smbcrc configuration file) seconds and starts indexing again.
