I don't know.. the clipboard menu just worked fine :)

The clipboard contents even stay the same after reboot! great work CepiPerez!

That would be great :D

Re: [ANNOUNCE] FileBox - File manager with root access and more
 

Yes, the clipboard works very well.
I understood from your post that you got a paste option in the context menu (longpressing an item).
A cut and paste option together with the existing copy option in the context menu would, in my opinion, simplify file copy and moving.

That would be also a great ui improvement. One touch over the selection box to select, one touch over the item line to open and a longpress to activate the context menu.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] FileBox - File manager with root access and more
 

Sorry, that was just what I tried to accomplish, I didn't see 'paste' in the context menu.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] FileBox - File manager with root access and more
 

great app..

if possible could you add an option after longpress to show file details such as file size, date created or modified, etc

thank you

Re: [ANNOUNCE] FileBox - File manager with root access and more
 

Any support for rar archiver? What about unrar or unzip support?
Great work until now! I voted!
Thanks!

Re: [ANNOUNCE] FileBox - File manager with root access and more
 

I discovered something strange.Long pressing a file or folder for the menu options is working very hard, sometimes it's not working at all. Can you help me with this?
Thanks!

Re: [ANNOUNCE] FileBox - File manager with root access and more
 

This program is improving every day.

Thanks for the effort.

Will you put the option of sharing (email, bluetooth, etc)?

Re: [ANNOUNCE] FileBox - File manager with root access and more
 

Just a request:

- When multiselection is enabled, share option doesn't appear with long presss. That would be a killer feature, to be able to send multiple files via bluetooth or attached to an email.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] FileBox - File manager with root access and more
 

any chance of exctrcting rar files?

Re: [ANNOUNCE] FileBox - File manager with root access and more
 

or zip files...

Re: [ANNOUNCE] FileBox - File manager with root access and more
 

take your time cepi, don't hurry to answer!

Re: [ANNOUNCE] FileBox - File manager with root access and more
 

What you didn't know the guy doesn't work for you? Cool your wheels and take a chill pill. The world doesn't revolve around your request.

Uploaded version 0.4-4:
- Possibility to share multiple files
- Added fileinfo (date and size) like stock fm
- Current languages: English, Spanish, Arabic, Finnish

Download from here or enable extras-devel repository

Unzip/unrar/untar files need some work, but maybe it can be possible, give me some time.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] FileBox - File manager with root access and more
 

The "traditional" file managers (like FAR) use third-party command-line archiver utilities (zip/unzip/rar/unrar/etc) to unpack archives into a temporary directory and then present that directory to the user (under archive file's original name, of course). It may be the easiest to simply call each such directory with the name of the original archive file.

As for the command line options for each archiver, these are usually stored in an .ini file or the registry (which, I guess, means gconf for us). There is normally a command line pattern for each of these actions: list files, get file/dir, add/replace file/dir, delete file/dir.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] FileBox - File manager with root access and more
 

how to move a file from a location to another? there is not cut or move option?
edit: also ctrl-c, ctrl-x, ctrl-v shortucuts are not working.
any feedback about this?

Re: [ANNOUNCE] FileBox - File manager with root access and more
 

for cut or move, press the sizors in the clipboard when in destination folder

Re: [ANNOUNCE] FileBox - File manager with root access and more
 

Thank you man, but why the menu is displayed in Arabic??

Re: [ANNOUNCE] FileBox - File manager with root access and more
 

File info in not showing up do i do something wrong

Re: [ANNOUNCE] FileBox - File manager with root access and more
 

The info is shown under every file!

Re: [ANNOUNCE] FileBox - File manager with root access and more
 

Thank you i was looking in the context menu

Re: [ANNOUNCE] FileBox - File manager with root access and more
 

Could you make it work like symbian for navigating files? If you use the right arrow to open highlighted folder and left arrow to go one folder up then it would be like the old symbian file managers. Very fast and efficient.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] FileBox - File manager with root access and more
 

Uploaded version 0.4-5 to extras-devel
Now you can decompress tar, tar.gz, tar.bz2 and zip files using filebox

Please make some test for this.
If it works 100% I'll promote the package to extras-testing.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] FileBox - File manager with root access and more
 

is there any chance of auto closing the confirmation boxes after copying a file has finished rather than having to press close, have been using filebox for some intense modding and it is quite annoying after a while.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] FileBox - File manager with root access and more
 

By far one of the best file manager. Much faster to browse my file system now. :D

I have just two requests, can there be an 'open with' feature: should save the problem of having to manually add text editors and stuff.

Also can there be an option to enable 'marking' faster. For example you touch an icon on the side (like where 'settings' icon is located) it enables marking, touch again, it disables marking. Should make browsing much faster than double tapping.

And again thanks for such an awesome filemanager!

Re: [ANNOUNCE] FileBox - File manager with root access and more
 

CepiPerez

Thanks again for your work.

I must have something missing.

I can only compress and decompress tar files.

I can create tar and tar.gz files. However when i try to decompress tar.gz no files are listed in the extract files screen and the size is 0bytes.

tar.bz2 and zip files i can't either compress or decompress.
For instance when i try to create a zip file the compressing screen says finished the progress bar is at 0% and no zip file is crested.

I have bzip2 installed.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] FileBox - File manager with root access and more
 

sacal:
open x-term an type:

- compress a folder:
tar -czvf test.tar.gz any_folder_here (this will create a tar.gz file)
tar -cjvf test.tar.bz2 any_folder_here (this will create a tar.bz2 file)
zip test.zip any_folder_here (this will create a zip file)

- decompress:
tar -xvf test.tar.gz
tar Fxf test.tar.bz2
unzip -o test.zip

tell me how those commands work.

FileBox uses the same commands with differents arguments maybe, but not uses own compressors/decompressors.
If they work then tell me what are you trying to compress or decompress

Re: [ANNOUNCE] FileBox - File manager with root access and more
 

installed the latest update & getting the same problem as sacal

trying to decompress in x term using

tar -xvf thefiles.tar.gz

and get the following response

tar: invalid tar magic

it works if i use

tar -xzvf thefiles.tar.gz

Re: [ANNOUNCE] FileBox - File manager with root access and more
 

mine does'n need z for tar.gz when decompress
seems the problem is the tar binary
what's the tar version?
tar --version

Re: [ANNOUNCE] FileBox - File manager with root access and more
 

Thanks CepiPerez for your support and fast reply

As you suggest i executed from xterm:

and 3 files test.tar, test.tar.gz and test.tar.bz2 where created in MyDocs folder.

Then i tried to create a zip archive but i got:

In fact i don't remember to have any zip file compressor installed.

Finally i tried to decompress the archive files just created and i got:

The tar version i am using is:

I hope this can help you diagnose the problem

Re: [ANNOUNCE] FileBox - File manager with root access and more
 

getting the same output as sacal for
tar --version

Re: [ANNOUNCE] FileBox - File manager with root access and more
 

"-z" is the standard option for handing .gz files with tar. Even if your version does not require it, it should accept this option.

PS: there is also -j ;)

Re: [ANNOUNCE] FileBox - File manager with root access and more
 

so, for ziping unziping files you need installed those packages:
zip 2.32-1maemo2 and unzip 6.0-1maemo1. Those can be installed downloading zip and un-zip addon for file manager from extras devel.

tar.gz - the archive is created but when i try to open is empty

tar.bz2 - it's showing me that the archive is created but i can't find it in the place where i created...

please help witth last two!

a suggestion (question): it is possible to include in the deb file all the needed packages for handeling archives. if no then create dependencies of those files.

thanks!

Re: [ANNOUNCE] FileBox - File manager with root access and more
 

@sacal, adhrie:
I found the problem. You are using busybox tar
I have installed tar-gnu, zip and unzip (dependencies from xarchiver)
Open x-tarm and type:

sudo gainroot
apt-get install tar-gnu zip unzip

This should resolve the problem
I'll add those packages to filebox dependencies in next version

Re: [ANNOUNCE] FileBox - File manager with root access and more
 

i also installed tar-gnu but this don't seems to solve the problem of tar.gz and tar.bz2 archives...
should i perform a restart after installing the tar-gnu utility?

Re: [ANNOUNCE] FileBox - File manager with root access and more
 

check tar --version to see if you are using new version

Re: [ANNOUNCE] FileBox - File manager with root access and more
 

~ $ tar --version
tar: unrecognized option `--version'
BusyBox v1.10.2 (Debian 3:1.10.2.legal-1osso30+0m5) multi-call binary

Usage: tar -[czxtvO] [-X FILE] [-f TARFILE] [-C DIR] [FILE(s)]...

~ $


any idea? plus... i have installed using apt-get install tar-gnu
this should install the lasest version.

looking in app manager i see installed tar-gnu 1.22-2maemo5 ... but ar.gz and tar.bz2 are not working for me.
tar.gz crdeates an empy archive and tar.bz2 creates an arhive who can't be found anywhere.

you can create tar.gz and tar.bz2 after installing tar-gnu package?
another solution please?

Re: [ANNOUNCE] FileBox - File manager with root access and more
 

Thanks

I will install and let you know the results

Re: [ANNOUNCE] FileBox - File manager with root access and more
 

please give a feedback here.
i wanna know if you can do tar.gz and tar.bz2 archives and extract them after installing tar-gnu.
tks!

Re: [ANNOUNCE] FileBox - File manager with root access and more
 

Please wait, the new tar needs to replace the stock one
I've uploaded version 0.4-6
Should appear in a few minutes (all dependencies fixed, I think)

Re: [ANNOUNCE] FileBox - File manager with root access and more
 

now all is working like it should.
my question is is how this package will be ever promotet to extras when depends on packages who are still in extras devel?

can you add rar unrar support? it will be perfect!
