I have another feature request: overwrite existing objects (files and folders) on copy/move. It could even be configurable but I suggest the default be yes.

I was merging large folders with subfolders and it took me quite a while to figure out why "select folder - clip - navigate to destination - go to clipboard - click 'move'" did not work. It acted like done but the folder including some subfolders and files was still in the source location. The reason was that some subforders and files were already present in the destination and Hamster refused to overwrite them and remove the sources.

it'd have been better if it had function of unzip or unrar etc like filebox

filebox pulls dependencies in to do this.

Don't see why you couldn't add an "Application" in Hamster's settings to do this after adding the packages yourself.

Well with no reports of instability since it's realise, is there a chance of pushing HamsterFiler to testing?

The only minor issue is the lack of bugtracker link in the control file, however, this is no longer a blocker.

It would be nice to see this in the extras repos.

for an extra feature you must pray for years
why this filehandler it is not done in pyqt4 ?
it would be much slower?

I am confused about a few bugs/requests from the wiki.

debian/control misses Dependency for maemo-optify
-- Is there a point in adding a dependency on maemo-optify if the package is optified manually?

to show the original directory of symlinked item
-- I am not sure what this one is about. Is it something different than Target in file details dialog?

[Edit] solved (strangely) with:
\"%s \" (the space after %s was important)
Hmmm... using "leafpad %s" to open "/home/user/MyDocs/test file" works fine here.

One reason is probably that the existing archive managers do not blend nicely into Maemo (or at least I am not aware of one that does). However, I am not planning to include support for archives in Hamster -- I would rather have a separate, full-featured application for that.

Okay, but I've got some unreleased changes that accumulated since 0.6.3 (nothing that threatens reliability), so I will make 0.6.4 out of them this weekend and then try to promote that to testing.

And why should I prefer Python? Regarding speed, Hamster Filer is not some high-performance computing application, so I would expect it to be perfectly usable even if it was rewritten in Python.

So it can be written in python with same performance.
It would be much easier to add new features or change aspect, button.
and if I want a new feature I could add myself or with somebody help and not praying for the developer who maybe will dye soon.
I asked more than 1 year ago to add a search function...I will wait more 10 year in the shadow for it.
python is easy to learn
that kind of program I want on my phone.
I know it is the best file-handler but it was much better if it was in python.

Python could be about the same speed, of course depending on how it is programmed. The startup of python programs will be slower (even if compiled to pyc).

So people should rewrite their entire program in python, just because you think you are more skilled in that language?

Let's hope we can benefit from Gidzzz's programming skills for some more time here

And all the sources of Hamster Filer are available. You can create your own fork, make patches or whatever you want. But you will need to install scatchbox for that. And Qt/C++ is not that hard once you really begin to understand Python (PySide/PyQt) better.

If you want python there is no reason you couldn't help produce a plugin architecture that allows you to make use of languages bindings to use whatever language you want
