None of the Symbian devices had that problem, and apps recognize them fine. Sure you know what you're talking about?

Could it be that under Symbian the "DCIM" is abstracted?

I don't mind my device having "DCIM" as the folder name for my camera pictures. I just don't like the File Manager "abstracting" everything by changing the folder names. At the very least, I want to be able to switch to "advanced" mode and see everything the "right" way.
I must admit that the file:// trick is very clever, though...

I've added emelfm2 to my Fremantle repository. N900 users can install it by adding my repo to your list.
Just a warning, though. My repository is generally for not-in-Fremantle-repos packages. Be careful what you install from there!
Catalogue Name: Qole
Web address: http://qole.org/repository
Distribution: maemo
Components: fremantle

Is this the same build that we run in Diablo? I thought a porting process was necessary to run a Diablo app under Fremantle. Does it work in Fremantle same as it does in Maemo 4?

Ok, I bit the bullet and installed it.
Meh.
I'd say it's a fail.

Consider the screenshot from my n810 in comparison: the new widgets from maemo 5 are too big and ugly.
I think that my first project when I get the device will be to run binaries with old widgets from maemo 4 by the use of some kind of sandbox environment (ld_preload? chroot?).
I can't understand why loads of software ported to maemo 4 are to be thrown away - it's stupid.
EDIT if you dig into emelfm2 configuration, you'll find several places where you can select menu icon and text width. I bet that playing with these controls you can obtain an usable view.

All we need is emelfm2 looking exactly as it does on the N810...perhaps a bit more polished as was said before, but I dont find it completely necessary to make it look all "fremantley" lol It will be a must have for me so I can change icons, startup images/sounds/whatever and edit .desktop files to change the displayed names of apps...sometime I just dont care for what an app is named. Such as Pidgin...I find it silly and since I only use Yahoo IM I rename it "Yahoo Messenger"
