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

offtopic: looking for bzip2 I found that is located in Maemo 5 device SSU repository (PR1.2) http://maemo.org/packages/repository...u_pr1-2_armel/
what is this repository?

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

also looking for unrar support if its possible. seems impossible to install unrar today ;)

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

I wanna take a look at this issues:
-if i try to open a doc, docx, xls, xlsx... the documentstogo app is open but show me the message unknown error
-if you make a new folder named doc,xls,mp4...or any other name similar to an extension than that folder does't have any icon assigned
-i'm using leafpad. if i create a new document, ex. test.txt, the document is created but when i long-press it and choose edit nothing happens. anyway this happens with all the documents that leafpad normaly is editing. (short version: edit with leafpad is not working)
-trying to access file/folder options takes too long. the time for the pop-up menu can be shorter?

that's will be all for now. i will post more if i found new bugs.

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

piradu:
Should wait to those packages get the extras repository
there's no a free rar compressor

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

rar is not so interesting but unrar is mostly needed (and unrar is in extras-testing, you only have to build dependencies and add the command lines).

what about the bugs i wrote previously. can you confirm? can be solved?

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

I second this request.

FileBox has now become my default file manager and it would be nice to also view and edit text files from it. My default editor is vim, and I don't have any of the editors in the selection list installed.

CepiPerez, could you please add vim to the editor selection as well? Vim for editing a file with full file name "path_to_file_and_filename" the following command can be used (including the Xterm needed for vi):
It would also be nice to include "vi" in the editor list, as it comes pre-installed on the N900 -- just replace "vim" by "vi" in the above command for vi.

Would be great to see vim in the FileBox editor list. :) Thanks for the development of this fine program!

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

Version 0.4-7 uploaded:

- Fixed leafpad editing (I hope)
- Added vi and vim editors support
- Fixed icons for folders with same name as filetypes (doc, xls, etc)

I will try to make popup menu faster and try to add unrar support in the next days.

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

Uploaded version 0.4-8

I made a mistake in 0.4-7, sorry

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

feedback :
-leafpad is set as editor but when i try to edit a file both leafpad and xterm is opening!
-trying to open doc,docx,xls,xlsx files opens documentstogo but gives me unknown error!
-the folders named with filenames extension now are having proper icons.
-is just me or you removed the support for the oldest supported text editors?

thanks for the updatel!
please try to solve the first two points.

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

thanks for adding the opption to ise the current theme icons. i use black plastic theme. now filebox fits perfectly!
thanks!

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

no old text editors supported removed
if you don't have them, then you don't see them on the list
seems I made a mistake too, I'll fix it soon
can you open office files with default filemanager?

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

Lots of activity in last few hours. :)

Compress and decompress are working just fine after upgrading from 0.4.5 to 0.4.8.

CepiPerez: you should also include an about item in tools or settings with
Filebox version and your most deserved credits.

Thanks

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

All right
Uploaded version 0.5-1
- Fixed edit file
- Added about dialog

sacal:
tomorrow I'll install docstogo and try to find the problem

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

BTW, I just checked and I cannot properly open emulator files (*.rom, *.sna, *.z80, *.gba, etc) with the FileBox. When I click on one of these files, the appropriate emulator starts and presents me with the file selection dialog. The standard Maemo5 file manager opens them just fine.

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

why i can't add it to desktop shortcut???

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

I think the best option for archiver support would be p7zip-full as it will handle zip, rar and 7z archives.

"-z" is the prefix for all *.gz to my knowledge. The "-j" might work in the gnu-tar. Have not tried. For a tar without .gz the xvf would work.

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

Edit is now working properly with leafpad, about is in his place :).

I'm really look forward to see docstogo shortcut fixed and unrar added to dependencies.

Great job! Thanks!

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

Great app, good job! Adding compress/uncompress support has made this my default file manager. The new version seems really fast.

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

This has now become my default file manager too,
for my use its way ahead of the competition.
Keep up the great work.
Tfhanks.

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

Would you want some help to translate this app in French ?

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

Assuming that I have both file managers opened and I browse in the same "x" folder in both. If I delete a "y" file from "x" dir in filemanager then I switch to filebox the "y" file is still shown in the "x" directory. that means that filebox doesn't auto-refresh like filemanager!

This can be fixed?

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

I love this implementation. It is an excellent job.

I think there's a small mistake with the screen showing the files in the interior of the tablets. Do not display their names correctly.

It is a good thing that the windows that open when you select an option is seen with the same orientation. In my case if I'm working on Portraid and choose to see the clipboard it opens in landscape position, and with all options.

Thank you very much for this work.

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

Assuming that you are in a "x" folder in filebox and you let the application in background. when you download a file from internet in that folder, after the downoad is finished the file is not shown in filebox. this doesn't happen with the default file manager in the ame conditions.

i think is the same auto-refresh issue.

can this be solved?

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

another one.

when you try to extract an archive, marking the Keep existing files is not working. it will overwrite the files with similar names.

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

are you shure? mine is working fine (although the file is shown in the progress dialog)

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

auto-refreshing folder content: to reproduce let the browser to finish download than recall the filebox from background. but first make sure that you are in that folder in filebox.

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

even if the "keep existing files" is marked the output is the same! to reproduce extract the same archive in the same place, marking and unmarking the option. no diference!

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

hi!
i hope to take your time and solve this problem. also please don't forget about auto-refreshing issues that i described!
thanks for your support!

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

Hello

i've a quick request:

Deleting folder with file, it's impossible. Could you please add this possiblity, perhaps with confirmation dialog.

Thx for your very good file manager

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

If you want to access as 'root' you should install the package rootsh from Extras:

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

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

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

Hi !
Great progress until now. I hope that you will find time to fix the quoted issue.
Also I hope that you will investigate the folders auto-refreshing problems described in my previous posts!
Thanks!

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

have tested zip and rar extraction, they work fine but with rars it doesnt show the contents of the compressed file, it just says 0 bytes, with zips it shows the files within.

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

confirming. still I think that are unrar, unzip issues.

there are also zip files who are not showing content and by the other side there are rar files showing the content. with all that they are extracted just fine! another good thing is that all content of the archives created with filebox is shown!

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

Brainstorm: It is possible to add all dependencies of Filebox in a single deb installer? This will allow a quick instalation and easy way to be promoted in Extras. Plus, I am a software collector. :D

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

No. The package dependencies are invented specifically to avoid having to do this.

Using Hildon App Manager or FapMan allows quick installation of the current version of FileBox. Any problems you are having are yours alone.
