No I wasn't, should this be put the checkbox label?

Ok, many thanks for your help and explanation.
I do prefer Hamster to FileBox, also your code is very tidy and well annotated

Source is available here. I want to change size of icons files (how?) but there are errors when compiling.

using %s does not work when i click on a filename which has spaces - i tried tagging it with '%s' but then the application won't launch at all.

[Edit] solved (strangely) with:
\"%s \" (the space after %s was important)

gidzzz - kindly requesting 2 more features:

1. "Back" button to return to previous folder/s
2. set folder permissions propagation (set permissions in recurse on all files/folders in a folder)

This is the best file browser i ever used on a mobile device - thanks for the great work

Best start is:

Code:

apt-get source hamsterfiler
apt-get build-dep hamsterfiler
cd hamsterfiler*
dpkg-buildpackage

(It is good start with any package)

And then copy-paste your errors here.

I started wiki page for Hamster Filer: http://wiki.maemo.org/HamsterFiler to collect existing bugs. I used FileBox's wikipage as a starting point and every feature request given for FileBox is now feature request for Hamster Filer

I think most needed feature is translations.

Reformatted and added more information to wiki.
Also noted there is no bugtracker link for the application.

Seconded.

I would also like to add:
3. Folder details to show the number of items in that folder (ideally separated to 'files' and 'subfolders', but not crucial) and their combined size.
4. A dual-pane view or at least an easy way to switch between two locations. One can use bookmarks for that but one does not always want to add temporary bookmarks, not to mention that having a flip-flop is faster and less error prone especially if one has many bookmarks.
