A simple request.
Could a button be added that would open xterm and automatically cd to whatever directory I am in the file manager.And if root access option is selected then open xterm with root access as well:) I know the path can be copied and then pasted in terminal but it would be nice to have this feature.
You know like how in windows you could modify the registry so wherever you are in explorer ,right click and you get "Open cmd here";)

Hi

Very nice the arrow for symlinks. When i click in symlink for folder, the adress bar dont' show the destination.

Eg: in /usr, games it 's a symlink to /opt/usr/games

In the adresse bar i show:
games
/usr

It would be perfect if i can show
games
/opt/usr

Thx


Sorry fort my bad english.

awsome improvements and fixes, no bugs foud, great work as usual
little request, could another arrow for folder up be placed on the other side if the address bar? i can pretty much do everything with my right hand in landscape mode except move up a folder. it would speed up my navigation of the filesystem. thank you

Great software. now I have to think about what is faster:
FileBox or xterm :D

I have a feature request:
Make the file and folder permission changable (of cause not working on fat partition)

Tested the last version. MIME types fully work now, even the *.gz ones.

You have CTRL+V to paste selected files in clipboard.
In this version I've added CTRL+X to cut.

Yes. Thanks again. It works as expected.

However it is still necessary to open the clipboard to select the items to paste / cut.
It is a handy feature but imho i think that after selecting copy in the context menu the files in the clipboard should be all automatically selected so that just pressing CTRL+X or CTRL+V would be needed to copy / move the selected files.
This way the user would still have the option to change the selected files in the clipboard before copy / move. If the user doesn't need to change the selected files then there would be no need to open the clipboard.

Note that this is just my opinion / contribution to make the user experience using Filebox even better.
I am very happy with the current version of Filebox and all credits and thanks go to CepiPerez and his great work. ;)

I subscribe! I could not agree more! But I'd like to ask also for a Ctrl-C command. This should be implemented before Ctrl-V and Ctrl-X.

Also, and this is my oppinion, the pop-up menu is still a little bit slow. Can be improved?

This latest version made Filebox my default file manager. ;)
Thanks!

Feature request:

It will be nice if Filebox will have an option to open in the last used folder. This can be configurable in settings, checking or unchecking a box: Remember the last position.

Hi!
Filebox crashes reproducable, when holding the pen into
the empty zone under the filelist. The first time I thought,
that this is the way to paste copied content into the
current folder, like some other filemanagers do. Then I found
out, that I have to go over the clipboard page.

An option "open with" to choose the program to open with
would be great!

Overall a great program, and the filemanager of my first choice

I have often wished for this feature also, to exit to the directory I'm looking at.
