I think you mean open (expand) a folder to show the contents. Just double-tap the folder to open, hit the 'up' arrow (back button) to close.

The Filebox seems to try to be independent of other system. It uses its own themes in /opt/filebox/icons. However, it's theoretically possible to add your own 'symlink' theme which would add support for current icon theme. There isn't need to read any files for it.

EDIT: attached tar.gz
After extracting it there should appear a folder
/opt/filebox/icons/current
full of symlinks
And in Filebox settings there should appear one more theme:
current

Select it, close and open Filebox, and Filebox should use icons from your current Maemo icon theme

Thanks for the howto but i was asking not only for me but others. If you are using a custom icon-theme you just found in the app manager you would not bother..

It would be a simple thing to implement and would optimize the download size of filebox. Instead of pointing to /opt/filebox/icons/icon.png it could point to /usr/share/icons/*variable*/48x48/icon.png. Where the variable get's the icon theme string from /etc/hildon/theme/gtk-2.0/gtkrc.

Filebox wants to be independent from osso, hildon and their themes. At least, it's my impression.
That's why it uses its own themes. Not to mention that clipboard, cut, copy, paste icons cannot be found in an osso theme.

That's why, supposing that all themes use the same icon names, I offered to use symlinks: it should allow you to effortlessly integrate Filebox into whatever theme you use.

I understand that it would be possible to read /etc/hildon/theme/gtk-2.0/gtkrc. It would even be possible to read text and background color from the same file. But it would be the way of depending on GTK and hildon, while Filebox is Qt-based.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
By the way, default filemanager does have bookmarks, but they are hidden. It's also supposed to have folder tree, though I have never seen it.


What about adding option of folder tree in sidepane to Filebox?

Well.. then he could just add an if-statement and still be open to other OSs. Keeping it integrated but still independent. He could also add the clip board icons to the stock hicolor-theme.. which would be used if the current theme you are using does not. However... it would be a breeze for a developer to add it to his icon-theme. I would do it to the AwOken theme. ;)

The folder tree idea are awesome.. would love to see that one.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] FileBox - File manager with root access and more
 
Using Filebox for some time, I recently tried to use a cool feature: unzip.

However I am just not able to do it. I have a zip file that I double-click, and nothing happens...
I tried to maintain a click to have the menu but I can see nothing else than 'compress' but not 'uncompress'.

The zip file unzip fine on my computer though...

I have also tried to uninstall and reinstall Filebox but not surprisingly it didn't help.

Any ideas welcome ;)

You need to install unzip for this
It's not installed with filebox
Open x-term and type:
sudo gainroot
apt-get install unzip

Works fine for me, are you sure you have the zip, unzip and unrar utilities installed? none of them willwork if you dont first install them from thr repo's.

Edit; @CepiPerez you beat me to it by like one minute:(

Re: [ANNOUNCE] FileBox - File manager with root access and more
 
obviously that can help :)
I should have checked this but honeslty thought that was part of the dependencies!

So basically "compress" is integrated but not "uncompress"...

Thanks for the quick reply
