Unfortunately, developer of FileBox - CepiPerez - shifted his interest into Harmattan (which is ok, everyone is free to do so), dropping support for his packages without any notice, and ignoring PM's not related to his new toy (which is not ok IMO, but again, he is free to do so).

So, unless someone pick up work on this nice filemanager, or scrap it and create another one from the beginning, we're doomed to live with bugs reported months ago.

I was so fed up with the bug which disallowed deleting of folders containing hidden files that I decided to do something about it -- and upload the fix to the repository, so everyone (well, only extras-devel users, to be exact) can benefit.

However, it doesn't mean that I'm willing to be the new maintainer, as my brain hurts from looking at the source.

Is it that bad, to the point that it's more feasible to write simple&effective GUI file manager from scratch (or port some debian'ish one), than fix filebox?

The source package doesn't build cleanly, source code is partially in Spanish and full of names like pushButton_2, sPath, val5 and th1, and [after rewriting most of the code contributed by CepiPerez to OMP] I'm afraid to think what else I can find there when it's deciphered.

Fixing small bugs might be not that hard, so I encourage someone with a more resistant sense of aesthetics to look into the code (if it was me, I'd probably end up with half of the application rewritten, and that's not very efficient).

Thanks for this small fix. Even if you are not willing to provide more updates to the application, you could ask for maintenance in order to promote this version to Extras.

I clearly recognize that from the Clock replacement code initially made by CepiPerez. Most variables/files have/had no meaningful name (like val1, push_button2 indeed), and if they had it was mostly Spanish.

This made getting familiar with the code less easy. I have replaced some variable names and added comment in the Clock replacement code, so it is more clear to me now.

Nevertheless CepiPerez made a good base for me, which I, with my lack of Qt/C++ knowledge, would not be able to accomplish.

There are still other small issues with FileBox IIRC.

What do you mean by long, how many seconds are we talking about? In my case it takes about 8 seconds.
It could be you have a lot of files in your files in your opening folder. Do you use thumbnails? CTRL-R should clear the thumbnails cache.
