Installed just today at the same time getting rid of some older "File Manager". Good work there, CepiPerez. If only the dark theme had clear black background instead of the shadowed one it would be completely perfect. I find the shadowed background distracting :/

Any chance we can get root access with FileBox? Was spoiled with it on the N900. Currently it's too much trouble to delete/copy-paste/move files without it integrated. Would love to have on N9. I feel like it's needed even.

The problem with root access is that:
- If you use filebox as user, you can't modify root files
- If you use filebox as root, you can't modify user files
You can't modify entire filesystem as root like in maemo
- If you use filebox as user, you can't modify root files
- If you use filebox as root, you can't modify user files
You can't modify entire filesystem as root like in maemo

The N9 Quick Tweak app has an option to use FileBox as root without limitation. But you need to enter root password when you launch the app.
I don't have inception or opensh installed yet.
You can try installing filebox under inception. It should work

There are two approaches you could take:
- Assert UID::root and GID::root and specify the setxid policy flag. What this does is emulate the behavior of the SUID/SGID bits through Aegis, which will allow you to use setreuid/setregid to swap the real and effective UID/GID. This makes it possible to enable/disable access as the root user "on the fly". The major disadvantage is that you're still limited to files that user and root have access to - it doesn't allow complete filesystem access. On the other hand, it doesn't require INCEPTION.
- Assert CAP::dac_override. This permission is what allows root to have complete access to the filesystem on an ordinary (non-Aegis) Linux system. The only disadvantage (if you consider it such) is that INCEPTION is then required.
If you go with the second approach, there are various schemes you could use to enable and disable CAP::dac_override access, which could be used to prevent such access until the user e.g. enters the root password.
If you'd like advice on implementing any of this, I'd encourage joining #inception on Freenode - I'm on there a lot of the time, and so are a few others who could help.

Hi, CepiPerez!
Just stumbled on this thread. Are you still open for feature requests?
First of all, could you change the way how meego-terminal is called from FileBox? In the current version it is called without any switches, so when you try to "open terminal here" and you have already some terminal windows opened it will do nothing. To fix this add -n switch to a call (meego-terminal -n) - and FileBox will always open new terminal window whenever you try to "open terminal here".
Second request - can you add a support for 7zip archives? You can find compiled p7zip version for Harmattan here: http://eric.berenguier.free.fr/harmattan/
P.S.
Camerado, "cut/paste" is already implemented. After you copied your files to a buffer, you can paste and cut from it.
