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...

Million Thanx my brother .. It's really work perfectly .. I think kmplayer was need the full path as u said .. now the program became usefull with this great feature , so when i need to play video which cannot open with default player and only need kmplayer , all i have to do is just : open with ... no need to open kmplayer and search for that file ..

Excuse my absence, since the last update I was so busy that I could even hardly find time to sleep, but still I somehow managed to dedicate a few minutes now an then to this project and this is how, with much struggle, Hamster Filer 0.6.2 finally appears. :) There are no shiny features, but some useful improvements are present:
  • Scrollbar position is restored after selecting a directory from the location bar or performing an operation which causes the file list to be reloaded.
  • Location bar can be shown/hidden without reloading the file list.
  • Some example application entries are created on the first run.
  • Removed all traces of the menu bar of applications window when opening it in application-launching mode.
  • Enabling multi-select clears the selection to prevent selecting an additional item by mistake.
  • Loading indicator is shown when opening a directory.
  • Fixed sharing via Bluetooth.
  • Fixed the location bar scrolling to an outdated button.

And yes, I know this sounds like me or my N900 are on some heavy medication, but this is what is happening!

Sounds very strange indeed and I have no idea what's possibly going on, so I'm afraid I can't help you.

When you visit a folder and come back from it and delete it, it stay still in the "navigation bar" as a box you can choose (if you use that type of bar). If you click on it (I did, accidentally), the software goes black for a while as it loads something, and is momentarily unusable. After that you can resume using the software as you want. I also tried this with your latest version you released six hours ago.

I haven't observed anything like that, but 0.6.2 treats nonexistent files in a more careful way, so it might fix the problem for you.

It's actually half-bug, half-feature. ;) Selection is disabled for the first item so that the parent directory cannot be a subject to file operations. Maybe I'll think of a better solution.

I have the opposite feeling about that. :p In FileBox you can't see the moment of refreshing a directory just because its GUI is frozen (try pressing a button when loading a lot of files). Hamster Filer will show an empty list for a moment, but the GUI is responsive for most of the loading time.

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.

Do you remember about Ctrl+L? But if it's still not fast enough, I think I could add such option.

Good catch - I forget about it. Yet, it would still be useful, to have possibility of setting it as default way of "handling" directory path. After all, it eliminates ctrl+ L on every startup... ;)

Thanks a lot for your work on this project it's really, really appreciated!

This file manager rocks!

Suggestion for 2 very useful features:

1. A "back" button - to return to previous folder/s
2. Save last folder on exit and return to it on next startup

Hmmm, no one complains that Bluetooth is still not working? :p I lived in a blissful belief that I fixed it last time, but to my disappointment, I have recently discovered that it is still broken.

This time it should be taken care of for good -- I tested it over and over again until my N900 started to complain about low battery. ;) That is only one among a few changes in Hamster Filer 0.6.3, all of them are listed below.
  • Added an option to save the location on exit.
  • Fixed misdetection of existing entries when creating a new file/directory.
  • Fixed sharing via Bluetooth.
  • Added some error messages to the file details dialog.
  • Better recovery from an invalid starting location.
  • Reduced the margin in the settings window to avoid horizontal scrolling with wider fonts.

Thanks for the great filemanager . This is the only file manager that worked with the keyboard ( the digitiser was broken last month ) .
