Dont know what I did, but after a nights rest, Hamster Filer now shows me the contents of the root folder regardless of being root or no, viewing hidden files or not or using the gridview or listview, so I cant anymore replicate my bug with version 0.6. Problem solved.

Edit: I meant the folder "/" (I thought this was called the root, my mistake, I'm linux newbie), not /root. I also replicated the bug in the newest version and found out when I can see the contents and when not. If I am ofline, the folder shows empty, but if I am connected to internet via WLAN I can see the contents. If I'm ofline and go in Hamster Filer to / and then connect, the contents show up after my Skype icon goes green and show I'm online. And yes, I know this sounds like me or my N900 are on some heavy medication, but this is what is happening!

I also found out about new feature, that might have some effect on users. 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 also have a feature request. When you navigate folders in Filebox and come back from a folderback to its root, in Filebox you come back to the point in list where the folder is located, where you came from, but Hamster Filer puts you back in the start of the list. This behavior is also same, when you delete a folder, you get thrown in the start of the list. If it is possible, the software should maintain the location in the list. (I used Hamster Filer for cleaning my folders, so I repeatedly went through folders in N900 and if they had nothing important in them, I came back and deleted them, so I was going back and forth a lot in the folders, it would have been great if the software maintained the position). And ofcourse, thanks for the great software.
