[ANNOUNCE] FileBox - Just another file manager
Hello guys!
I'm working on my firs QT app using the new QTCreator. It's a file manager, very similar to default one Features: - Full filesystem navigation - Root access for copy/paste/cut/delete files - Share via bluetooth and e-mail - Bookmars - Personalized clipboard - Autorotation - Multilanguage support (english/spanish for now) Working on: - Custom icons for folders and filetypes - Open files (images, docs, etc) Screenshots: http://i.imgur.com/oH7Ej.jpg http://i.imgur.com/pKb6a.jpg http://i.imgur.com/U46Px.jpg http://i.imgur.com/yGeJK.jpg http://i.imgur.com/ylqOd.jpg http://i.imgur.com/y6PAF.jpg Now I need some help: 1- How can I open the files (images, docs, etc) using DBus or mimetypes in Qt? 2- The source for build has cracked (no source inside) cause I don't know hot to add files/folders to QtCreator builder. I can send the source to anyone who want to help me making a decent source for the extras builder. 3- Default language is English. The application detect the phone language and load it (if the lang file exist). I've added a Spanish.ts file as example). If someone can help me making new language files I will appreciate this. Anyways, I made a test build in extras-devel for testing. Download from here or via Application Manager. Please let me know how it works. PD: Sorry for my bad english, it sucks... |

It would be nice if it was possible to see hidden files with "ctrl+h". Also if you could make it possible to use ssh. I am mainly thinking on scp typ of commands and possibility to save/bookmark those.
|
Re: [ANNOUNCE] FileBox - Just another file manager
You can hide/show hidden files using settings, but I think I can add the keyboard shortcut
What is it about ssh? Do you want to view your PC through the file manager or what? |

P.S. Why use your own sharing dialog? If you use the GTK+ one from sharing-dialog-dev, you also have the "Share to service" functionality, also. (It should work fine as long you do whatever to pass it a char* from your QString and you could pass NULL for its transient window parameter...) |

No, that might be asking too much. I just want to be able to send or fetch. That is done with scp.. like.. "scp user@ip-number:/home/user/folder/".. you set up the folder in settings and when you long press for the menu on a file. It will show an option to "send through scp" or something. |

@qwerty12:
Thanks for hildonmime, I didn't know about this lib. I've tried GTK sharing_dialog_with_file but it doesn't work. The dialogs shows up, but the file never appears in the new e-mail |
Re: [ANNOUNCE] FileBox - Just another file manager
Look good, though a quick suggestion, add a secondary field to the files that could be configured to show a date or size. In the regular view you could have it right aligned in the button with a smaller font, and in portrait mode you could have it underneath the filename with a smaller font similar to how the file manager now has it.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] FileBox - Just another file manager
i can't seem to find it on app manager. i have extras devel enabled
|
Re: [ANNOUNCE] FileBox - Just another file manager
Awesome. At least a file manager that looks nice!
Keep it up mate. |
Re: [ANNOUNCE] FileBox - Just another file manager
Looks perfect to me. Just what I've been waiting for!
|
Re: [ANNOUNCE] FileBox - Just another file manager
scp or sftp support would be awesome. Something like fish:/ in konqueror or dolphin file manager (in kde).
|
Re: [ANNOUNCE] FileBox - Just another file manager
Is filebox optfied.
Nice application |
Re: [ANNOUNCE] FileBox - Just another file manager
Hi, I have translated it to Swedish, i havenīt tried to use it yet so iīm not sure how it will be in action. Do you want it? Maybe someone from Sweden want to take a look to.
|
Re: [ANNOUNCE] FileBox - Just another file manager
@towhatend:
Did you made the qm file? Just put it in /opt/filebox/lang folder and the app should start in swedish. Or send me the file and I'll add it to the next release tomorrow. The app now opens all files (thanks to qwerty12) and I've adedd Sort function. Now I'm looking for something that helps me to add scp. |
Re: [ANNOUNCE] FileBox - Just another file manager
won't install to my n900. appmanager says it's "unsuitable applicationpackage" not sure about the correct words in english because i have diffrent language on my phone.
|
Re: [ANNOUNCE] FileBox - Just another file manager
not installed "is not application package"
|
Re: [ANNOUNCE] FileBox - Just another file manager
Using xterm without problems when installing
dpkg-i filebox_0.1-1_armel.deb |
Re: [ANNOUNCE] FileBox - Just another file manager
Recommendation and request for this software.
To change the text displayed library. Example:. / MyDocs / .documents to Documents. In "shared" accounts allow you to use Ovi, etc. Can see the details of a file or folder. Integrating compression / decompression of files / folders. Able to choose which application opens a specific file type. THANK YOU for this wonderful software. |

So if you make a note that OpenSSH needs to be installed for scp support. You would not need the dependecy and keep FileBox a bit slimmer for those who are not using scp. Though many of us do. Though i do not think the added support would make the install file a lot bigger. A better way.. and preferred if you want to fetch a file. Is to have support for it in the "adress field". And with a auto-complete function or some sort of bookmark feature. Sometimes a scp string can get very long. |
Re: [ANNOUNCE] FileBox - Just another file manager
I haven't tried this yet, but it would be great if this could fix Bug 9599 (File Manager doesn't remember the scroll position in previously opened folders).
|
Re: [ANNOUNCE] FileBox - Just another file manager
@AlMehdi:
Give me some time for scp. I need to configure Ubuntu first, cause I never used it (I always use ftp through Nautilus). @pelago: It's very simple to do. I will add this now. |
Re: [ANNOUNCE] FileBox - Just another file manager
Does it show previews/thumbnails of photos like default file browser?
|
Re: [ANNOUNCE] FileBox - Just another file manager
@AlMehdi:
Where can I find a guide to connect to my PC from my phone |

The wiki have a good one: http://wiki.maemo.org/SSH Another one: http://inside.mines.edu/~gmurray/HowTo/sshNotes.html For windows: http://chinese-watercolor.com/LRP/pr...gwin-sshd.html Make sure your router allows on port 22 which are the default. And when you made your ssh-keygen .pub file move it to your /home/user/.ssh/ on the n900. If you made the key on your computer. |
Re: [ANNOUNCE] FileBox - Just another file manager
I get "Incompatible application package" error when i downlod and try to install it from link at 1st post. It also not avaailable in extras-devel. There seem to be something wrong with this package

Re: [ANNOUNCE] FileBox - Just another file manager
Can you please add checkboxes to each folder/file and make it possible to select more than one at one time with these so that it is easy to copy/paste, move or delete them?

but no other apps/file managers have this option(locking/hiding) so far:) |
Re: [ANNOUNCE] FileBox - Just another file manager
One feature that would make me very happy would be ablitity to edit files. Or then ability to tap on item and choose to open it in leafpad / some other text editor.
|
Re: [ANNOUNCE] FileBox - Just another file manager
New version 0.3-2
@ asidana / andrew_85: Check if you can install from application manager now. @ DaSilva: Give me some time @ D-livil: 0.3.2 supports leafpad and pygtkeditor If you want support for another text editor let me know. @ s33: You want a password to enable showing hidden files? Or you want something like a blacklist files? |
Re: [ANNOUNCE] FileBox - Just another file manager
Really nice and very responsive!
You should put the settings in a program menu instead of the button. So when you click "FileBox" it opens the menu and you can choose settings from there. Maybe tools would come better in such an menu too. |
Re: [ANNOUNCE] FileBox - Just another file manager
awsome app, just missing the ability to mark several files for copying, the clipboard is great but too slow when copying several file. loving this though
|
Re: [ANNOUNCE] FileBox - Just another file manager
I'm almost ready to release a proper release in applications thread
- Multiselection is working - Thumbnails doesn't freeze the gui now Tomorrow i'll try to add compress option and release the update |
Re: [ANNOUNCE] FileBox - Just another file manager
@CepiPerez about DaSilva's request: QMaemo5Editbar would be a better way to implement this. Doing so, you could mimick the default file manager's behavior of having a menu item called "Delete Files". No hurry though, just figured the hint might help.
This code has some examples of how to implement some maemo specific stuff in Qt, including the forementioned editbar. |
Re: [ANNOUNCE] FileBox - Just another file manager
Great app thanks oh and I think you need to change the title this is not just a file manager :D it amazing and 100% better than standart one and cute explorer ...just saying
Also dont know if it was mentioned but I found a bug ,when you delete big amount of files at once erase indicator goes out of the screen to the right....i mean when percentage bar is filling up.. after deletion it goes back to normal :) |
Re: [ANNOUNCE] FileBox - Just another file manager
great thanks dude for the multi select.
whats the chances of getting zip and rar creat and extract functionality into the app? |
Re: [ANNOUNCE] FileBox - Just another file manager
Just want to say thank you. Great app!
|
Re: [ANNOUNCE] FileBox - Just another file manager
Great app, i use the bookmarks a lot when developing on the device itself.
SO THANK YOU :) |
Re: [ANNOUNCE] FileBox - Just another file manager
Sorry for the late
I've readed a lot to get compressing working... It's working now, but I need to test big files and improve the gui. Tomorrow I'll finish it and add more formats (currently uses tar.gz only) |
Re: [ANNOUNCE] FileBox - Just another file manager
This is the best file manager that I have on my N900. Root access with copy and paste is all that I wanted out of a file manager! This make working with NITDroid files easy as managing one OS.
