Please see posts 220 and 223.
You're right. It only happens when there are other apps running in the background that do not have portrait mode. e.g. you can have a bunch of webs open in the background and the "bug" won't happen (if microB is set to auto rotate).

What do you guys think about customize folders icons?

It's already done.
Should I update the version before promote to extras?

It's a very nice idea. :D

As to the update perhaps you should wait some more time (and some more features i hope) before promoting again.

I would like to ask you to check the "#" char problem in post 212.

@sacal:
Sorry, I forgot to check the # character. I'll do it for tomorrow for sure.

@fifthelement89:
Let me try it tomorrow. I let the source in my work.
BTW: Did you have rootsh installed?

@HtheB:
Open one of the .ts files in /opt/filebox/lang folder and edit it. It looks like an xml file. Send the files to me and I'll make the .qm file (the real lang file needed). Or you can download QtLinguist to make it.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] FileBox - File manager with root access and more
 
Very nice (0.6-5)

sacal 2010-09-19 00:28
Re: [ANNOUNCE] FileBox - File manager with root access and more
 
Hi CepiPerez

I did install filebox 0.6-9 but i can't find the option to apply custom icons to subfolders.
Also in the about box the version is 0.6-8
As to the "#" char issue it still remains in 0.6-9. Looking at the source file mainwindow.cpp line 678:
Code:
678      file.replace("#","%2523");
i wonder why is it "%2523" and not just "%23" ?

Sorry if my question is nonsense as my knowledge of c++ is very limited.

Thanks

CepiPerez 2010-09-19 06:45
Re: [ANNOUNCE] FileBox - File manager with root access and more
 
When you select an icon it should ask if you want to apply to subfolders.
I've tried 23 before and doesn't work. if you open dbus-monitor and send a file via email you'll see it uses 2523 for the # character.

sacal 2010-09-19 19:06
Re: [ANNOUNCE] FileBox - File manager with root access and more
 
Hi CepiPerez
Thanks for your reply

Apply custom icons to subfolders works as you said.
I was looking for it on settings and tools and didn't notice the "change icon" option in the context menu - my fault. :o

The "#" char issue is of low importance but it really annoys me because with the standard filemanager it works without any problem.
.
In fact you are right about the string returned by dbus-monitor when sending a file by e-mail in filebox.
For instance for this file: "/home/user/MyDocs/#test.txt"
the dbus-monitor string with filebox is:
Code:
method call sender=:1.314 -> dest=com.nokia.modest serial=2 path=/com/nokia/modest; interface=com.nokia.modest; member=ComposeMail
  string ""
  string ""
  string ""
  string ""
  string ""
  string "file:///home/user/MyDocs/%2523test.txt"
Just for curiosity with standard filemanager is:
Code:
method call sender=:1.298 -> dest=com.nokia.modest serial=15 path=/com/nokia/modest; interface=com.nokia.modest;

member=ComposeMail
  string ""
  string ""
  string ""
  string ""
  string ""
  string ",file%3A%2F%2F%2Fhome%2Fuser%2FMyDocs%2F%2523test.txt"
Note that the file "#test.txt" is correctly attached to the e-mail using either filemanager or filebox.

However, if the file name is "%test.txt" the dbus string with filebox is:
Code:
string "file:///home/user/MyDocs/%test.txt"
and with filemanager:
Code:
  string ",file%3A%2F%2F%2Fhome%2Fuser%2FMyDocs%2F%2525test.txt"
but although the file is attached when using filemanager with filebox there is no attachment.

It seams that the "%25" prefix is needed and not only with the "#" char.

I couldn't figure how to get the dbus string when opening "#test.txt". It would allow to compare filemanager and filebox and find why it doesn't work with filebox.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] FileBox - File manager with root access and more
 
I've uploaded version 0.7-1.
There's nothing new in this, I just clean some parts of the code.
The popup menu should work better now. Please test and comment.


@sacal: I've tryed to fix the # and % problem but no luck yet.

Hi CepiPerez

Installed v0.7-1 and rebooted after install

In my device this new version doesn't run well:
- exits when trying to open the majority of MyDocs folders. It however opens some folders with just a few items inside.

Thanks

Sorry if i wasn't clear.
With multiselection enabled trying to open a folder crashes filebox.
If muitiselectiion disabled the folders open normaly

Re: [ANNOUNCE] FileBox - File manager with root access and more
 
I just installed 0.7-1. I've tested it fairly thoroughly and so far have not seen any problems. Multitouch works fine - I was able to select several files and send via bluetooth.

To me, this looks like the nicest file browser I've seen for the N900. It has a nice, straight forward display, it's easy to use, has a tremendous number of features, many preferences can be changed, and it works. Thanks!!

CepiPerez 2010-09-24 20:43
Re: [ANNOUNCE] FileBox - File manager with root access and more
 
@sacal:
Sorry, you're right. The new implementation for a faster popup menu fails on multiselection. That's why filebox crashes.
Uploading 0.7-2 now

rabilon 2010-09-24 20:43
Re: [ANNOUNCE] FileBox - File manager with root access and more
 
OK, further testing confirms that filebox 0.7-1 crashes consistently with multitouch enabled when trying to enter a folder by double clicking.

dsawhney 2010-09-24 20:59
Re: [ANNOUNCE] FileBox - File manager with root access and more
 
I've also seen some crashes with 0.7-1 and I don't have multi-selection enabled. To recreate the issue, go to a folder with at least one file, touch an empty area on screen and start scrolling up/down.

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

I am glad this new release of filebox works in your device without problems.
In fact filebox is the best filemanager for our N900,
Unfortunately in my device it crashes when i try to open a folder with multiselection enabled.
I did uninstall filebox and installed it again but the problem remains.
I also installed again version 0.6-9 and it worked fine.
So perhaps there is some incompatibility in my device with this new version of filebox.
Edit:
Just saw last posts.
It seams that I am not alone with this problem

rabilon 2010-09-24 23:46
Re: [ANNOUNCE] FileBox - File manager with root access and more
 
Sorry for this dumb question, but how would I install the 0.6-9 version?

CepiPerez:

Don't be sorry. You are always welcome and we are all thankful for your work with filebox. :)

I have just upgraded filebox to 0.7-2 and the open folder problem seams to be solved.

I am still testing this new release and later on i will post my results.

Thanks

You may download it from here and install but i think you should try and test new 0.7-2 version.

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

I found no problems with this 0.7-2 release.
I am not 100% sure but it seams to me that this release is a bit faster when opening folders with lots of files / images (thumbnails active)

The popup menu in filebox works exactly the same way as in the standard file manager. So perhaps it is not possible to further improve it in your code.
I really don't like very much the way popup menus are implemented in maemo5 / QT as many times i end up selecting an unwanted option.
In my opinion they aren't much user / finger friendly:
- they popup under your finger hiding some items.
- the selection is activated when you release your finger (untouch)
- if you move your finger outside of the popup ( to see the hidden items) and untouch then the popup desapears.

This is just my opinion but I would prefer in filebox a menu icon (as the tools icon) instead of the current popup menu.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] FileBox - File manager with root access and more
 
0.7-2 looks fine on my side.

but as for the german translation, you should better
use "Ordnersymbol ändern" instead of "Ändern Sie das Symbol"

cepi you are the best, only I have a problem when trying to cut a file using the menu or ctrl x I get an error saying: ERROR: Nothing selected to paste

cepi eres el mejor, solo tengo un problema, cuando intento cortar un archivo usando el menu o con ctrl+x me sale un error que dice: ERROR: Nada seleccionado para pegar

sacal 2010-09-26 21:15
Re: [ANNOUNCE] FileBox - File manager with root access and more
 
sub7:

To cut or paste a file you must previously copy it.

When you copy a file (or files when multiselection settings option is active) that file is temporarily placed in the clipboard.
Pressing the clipboard icon (the middle icon in the right toolbar) the clipboard content is shown.
Only if the clipboard content is not empty it is possible to paste (copy) or cut (move) the files.

When you keep your finger over a file or folder (for about 1 second) a popup or context menu opens.
There you will find the copy, delete and other functions.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] FileBox - File manager with root access and more
 
Just a question please, before i do anything stupid...thanks to fileboxes ridiculous ease of use abilities i am tempted to move my apps from opt folder to apps folder.

Is this going to be suicidal or can someone please educate me on how to do this correctly?

TIA!

CepiPerez 2010-09-28 13:06
Re: [ANNOUNCE] FileBox - File manager with root access and more
 
I guess apps folders is in MyDocs, right?
You can move the folders and make symlinks to them in /opt folder
Just make sure there's no symlinks inside the folders you want to move (symlinks doesn't work on MyDocs cause it's a vfat partition)

EDIT:
Anyways, I don't recomend you to do this.
If you want to save space, then frist you should try doing this in /home/user folder. I've symlinked Quake3 and Kroll files to MyDocs and get a lot of space.

RenaldoTT 2010-09-28 13:12
Re: [ANNOUNCE] FileBox - File manager with root access and more

so how about a create homescreen shortcut option for folders at least from the popup like youve talked about here
