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

I didn't say that this is a problem for me. My problems are deeper than the dependencies of a software.
I told that will be nice. Skiping with this one, I always loved independency. It's so strange to depend on something or someone!
In many cases Independence=Power!(but not in all instances)
One about he other this software is an entire teamwork.
Congratulations and thanks to all the team players!

And Filebox is getting better again :)

"- Fixed opening files with DocsToGo" - working fine now
"- Added stock Notes application to editors" - works ok
"- Added unrar support" - no rar contents display but working

"Also I made some fixes in clipboard, let me know if you find bugs."

I found no bugs but if i may insist i would prefer a cut and paste option in the context menu.

Thanks

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

For those who has problems with showing rar/zip content:
Can you send me some files (not too big) to my PM Box?

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

Hi CepiPerez

This is great application. I have one question: is there a Move option available? I can't see it. Please let me know if I am missing some settings.
It is available in default File Manager application. I wanted to Move some files from a folder and then I ended up using File Manager which I don't like that much!
Thanks for great work!!

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

the scissors icon is for cut
so you can add your files to clipboard and use this function for move them

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

Oh I see, never thought about it! Thanks for quick response.

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

Another question about the clipboard. i did not see it mentioned in the thread, unless I missed it somehow, but how do I a) clear the clipboard of files and b) select all files in the clipboard?

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

@CepiPerez
thank you for adding notes as a editor.

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

Hi CepiPerez

I think i may have found the problem with unrar not showing the file list.

The same rar file but with two different names:

test.rar - works ok and show file list

test test.rar - works ok but doesn't show file list

So perhaps this is the problem.

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

Uploaded version 0.5-3 to extras-devel
Should fix the problems showing compressed files content
Also I've added a filter bar (quicksearch)

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

The problems i had showing compressed files content are now fixed. ;)

Thanks

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

how to move files?? i cant find move option..

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

Is it possible to add an "open with option for files.??.This is one thing badly needed..."

Thank you for the awesome applcation. i feel it is now the best File Manger now for N900..

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

just 5 posts before someone asked the same question and got answer, try to read before writting next time.
(the scissors icon for cut, and than you paste the place you want - it's like move)

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

i think it's already the best file manager that we have for maemo and it has everything we need, but there are always ways to improve. i would like to ask for preview options (kinda pop-up for pictures and playback for music files with no controls but still), like in some DE or file managers for desktop.

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

The arrow keys open the quicksearch bar now instead of scrolling. Still hoping for left arrow one folder up and right arrow open selected folder/file. Loving the program thanx!

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

I think that the dependencies are not defined like it shoud! Trying to uninstall filebox only unzip, unrar and bzip2 package are removed and not all the packages installed with it: zip, unzip, unrar, bzip2 and tar-gnu.

Thanks!

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

New Filebox user here.. great work - easily the best filemanager!

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

Is just me or this latest version unloked some folders?

/ # ls -a
. boot floppy media root syspart
.. cdrom home mnt sbin tmp
.dev dev initrd opt srv usr
bin etc lib proc sys var


I didn't remember to see sys and syspart until now.

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

this is a really nice app, thanks, simple yet powerful.
if it could integrate browsing s/ftp mounts that would just be awesome.

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

Hi!
Using the last version seams that sending multiple files via e-mail is not working. I selected 5 pictures and tap send via email option but nothing happened.
Also I encountered problem trying to send files via bluetooth. How to reproduce: Open filebox, choose a file and tipe sending via bluetooth. The bluetooth is activated and the window of available device is shown. After the seending is complete try to send another file to same device. Nothing happens. The pop up with the devices available is not shown.
Please investigate those two cases.
Thanks!

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

Current FileBox processes compressed files before it tries to recognize their MIME type and act on it. For example, if you have a *.rom.gz file, which has a valid MIME type "application/x-msxrom" (installed by fMSX), FileBox will try to show archive contents rather than load this file info fMSX.

Somewhat related to the above problem, FileBox will show empty contents for single GZIPped files (i.e. *.gz but not *.tar.gz).

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

lol @ OP's english apology. its better than most americans!

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

Just noticed that when you're copying files or folders with FileBox, it ignores to copy symlinks / symlinked filed and folders. Can this be fixed?

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

A problem I've been having with Filebox, is the copy paste feature. I copy files, but when I go to the location for them to be pasted too, filebox always closes when trying to activate the menu to select paste from.

Anybody else having this problem?

2d

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

Are you just trying to copy and paste or copy and overwrite something? like for a icon or something?

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

Hi CepiPerez,
I tried scissors but it didn't work, it was disabled and also to go to scissors icon I have to first click on clipboard, which in my opinion too many clicks. Am I doing something wrong? Also why can't we have a "Move" or "Cut" option in menu like we have other options?

Regards

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

Copy paste works fine in my system. Are you using the latest version of filebox?

Also after selecting the files and the copy option in the context menu go to the target folder, select the clipboard icon and then the paste or cut ( to move files) option.

I also think that it would be easier and faster to have a cut and paste option in the context menu. It could bypass the need to select from the clipboard.

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

All right, new version 0.5-4 uploaded

Now filebox watch the current dir and refresh on changes.

Fixed up/down arrows.

Send via e-mail sometimes does nothing.
I don't understand why, cause filebox uses dbus for this.
I will keep checking this.
Send via bluetooth works always for me, let me check sending another phones from some other friends.

Fixed, I think, please check.

Yes it copies, but the problem is when the copied symlink is broken (symlink copied not linking to the full path of the source).
Anyways, I'll add this. If the symlink is broken you'll see it now. Also you'll see a little arrow for all symlinks.

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

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

All the reported problems are solved! Thanks!
I think you should update in About the version of the program.
There will be one more thing but I will tell you later!
Thanks!

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

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";)

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

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.

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

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

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

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)

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

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

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

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. ;)

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

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!

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

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.

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

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

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

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