Midnight commander for fremantle is here, http://maemo.org/packages/package_in...-pre1-1maemo5/
Any taker?
I stick with my favorite emelfm2 for the time being.

(I uploaded it on my site with maemoftp which quite luckily works under Maemo5 too. Should someone like an optified version, lacking only some icons which likely came from the maemo4 system, it's here.)
I used it to delete a gconf file from an application that wasn't starting , even after re-install.
Just one example of when a good file manager helps, and Im not a power user...just wanted the app(Maemo-Mapper) to work.

For advanced users only - instructions left purposefully vague!
I posted this in a brainstorm relaring to eMMC usage already, but perhaps some of you will find it useful.
You can bind mount /home into MyDocs and access it through the hildon file manager (and therefore any software that uses it for file selection). Just do something along the lines of:
to check it out. If you want it to persist then you need to edit /etc/event.d/rcS-late and add the /bin/mount instruction just before the comment "We can safely continue booting now", as the fstab is overwritten on boot unfortunately. Warning: doing something stupid here will probably stop your device from booting.
If you dislike the abstraction you can partially solve it by editing /home/user/.config/user-dirs.dirs. Should be obvious how. If you do so you'll probably want to check out /home/user/.config/tracker/tracker.cfg and edit WatchDirectoryRoots so that your media shows up in media player etc.
Cheers,
Jan

Jan,
Another way to break out of the Hildon File Manager "wall" consists of defining symbolic links, in ~/MyDocs, to the parts of the File System that you wish to make visible -- I do this for "/" (Root) and "/home/user" (Home). But to do this, ~/MyDocs needs to be on an ext2 (or ext3) partition... and this conversion is only for advanced users.
The symbolic links create in effect circular references in the File System that make Tracker go into a scanning loop... but that can be solved easily by adding the added paths to the exclude list of Tracker. Recursive searches via "find" do work fine, though! But you have to be alert for other apps such as Tracker that may be affected similarly.
Anyway, I wish that Hildon File Manager were developed instead to provide functionality that for naive users would offer a "walled" view of the file system but as an advance preferences option would provide a full view of the file system. This is a very old problem dating back to the days of the 770 Tablet and all previous versions of Maemo!

This was the main reason Symbian was hacked wide open.
What is so difficult about a file manager that no one has stepped up and created a file manager with access to all files? This is a computing necessity, and the biggest bugaboo after the bland RSS reader options. Users need this, if any developers are reading...
