Re: [Maemo 5] [Announce] Hamster Filer 0.6.1 - a new file manager
 

About "always open file with", isn't dbus-switchboard package exactly mean't for that? As it affects whole Maemo, I don't see reason, why it shouldn't be compatible with Hamster.

Even more than that - if decided to duplicated dbus-switchboard functionality inside Hamster, it would be regression for people using the former. So, if decided to, make it at least configurable (aka "turn off"), pretty please.

Well this way is the most-flexible way I think but I would like to see just as in filebox, a special option for edit, used this alot.

Unfortunately did filebox not list all texteditors, like it didn't list txpad or KhtEditor. Nano and leafpad were succesfully integrated there.

Since I compared to filebox, I spotted more convenient differences for example
*Filebox has a nice way to tar a folder and or multiple files
*Filebox has inbuilt ability to open zip and tar internally (maybe even rar too but I don't remember)

Of course this are just request of useful features. You are not forced to implement anything of this. Actually I like the flexibility of putting your own command for open with..

Drawback of this method is that is a bit more unconvienent/difficult to set (for less experienced users).

Re: [Maemo 5] [Announce] Hamster Filer 0.6.1 - a new file manager
 

Noticed a bug: When you use the keyboard to navigate it doesn't highlight the upfolder icon in both grid and list view. The highlight just dissappears.

Also when entering the folder you don't see the highlight because it starts in the upperight corner, the upfolder icon. When entering a folder you lose kind of your highlight...

Other thing, could backspace be mapped to previous folder? Just like you did with OMP?

Thanks gidzzz

Bugs:
1. Switching navigation bar (with bottom left icon) on/off resets multiselecion highlight
2. Go to some long patch, for example "/home/user/MyDocs/cities/diskcache/0/0/", now swipe navigation bar to the right to see "/" button and use it: You will be taken to the "/" as expected, but navigation bar swipes to the left by itself. Shouldn`t it stay at leftmost position showing "/", where You currently are?

While changing directory, filebox is able to show another directory without flickering screen. Instead of showing blank screen for some milliseconds, it keeps on showing the old directory until new directory view is ready. It feels faster and smoother that way. I hope you got what I am saying.

Would be nice to see about and help menu in the application.

The view is not aligned to center of screen (instead, some space is left on right).

Possibly different sizes of grids to choose from for grid view.

Great works man. Will be replacing my filebox with this one soon.

Re: [Maemo 5] [Announce] Hamster Filer 0.6.1 - a new file manager
 

Request:

When one long-press path tabs (tabs, representing directories in path to current one), it got replaced by familiar imputable text field, where we can define path manually, using auto-completion, just like in filebox.

For me (and as I suppose, for many other users), it's more convenient, than clicking on tabs. Could there be an option, to make it *default* way, in which path is presented? Currently, upon every start of hamster, one need to long-press it, as toggle trigger.

Thanks in advance,

Re: [Maemo 5] [Announce] Hamster Filer 0.6.1 - a new file manager
 

How can I open video files with another player instead of default player ?
for example : Kmplayer ..
I tried to add kmplayer to applications like that :
( kmplayer) in the upper field .
( Kmplayer %s) in command bar
>>>>
but when I try to open a file with ( open with ) then chose kmplayer , nothing happen ..
how can I add my favorite apps please ??
I love to add those :
Kmplayer , leafpad , mypaint , symfonie , evince ,
>>>
ooh sorry .. I forget to thank u for this great app .. keep going man .

Re: [Maemo 5] [Announce] Hamster Filer 0.6.1 - a new file manager
 

Not all apps can to open file from command... but need to try it!

Example for KMPlayer:

• 1. Try to run from terminal.
  "kmplayer" -> not found
• 2. Okay, then go to "/usr/share/applications/hildon" and reading ".desktop" file.
  "kmplayer.desktop"
  Exec="/opt/kmplayer/bin/kmplayer"
  It's path to binary - u can run it!
• 3. Try to run from Hamster.
  "/opt/kmplayer/bin/kmplayer %s" -> it's work - release & happy :)

"leafpad %s" -> working.
"evince %s" -> working too.
....

I think it's good feature request - preinstalled examples for applications, OR better - "Open with..." show dialog with list of applications, loaded from .desktop files - choose and auto add name and command with %s param favorites in top - it's really like "Open with...". And for commands other item menu...
