[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)

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.

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?

QDesktopServices? Else, libhildonmime works for sure.

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...)

Yeah, i saw it was possible to do it in settings. But it would be better and faster to also be able to do it with ctrl+h.

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

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.

i can't seem to find it on app manager. i have extras devel enabled

Awesome. At least a file manager that looks nice!

Keep it up mate.
