Very nice (0.6-5)

Hi CepiPerez

I did install filebox 0.6-9 but i can't find the option to apply custom icons to subfolders.
Also in the about box the version is 0.6-8
As to the "#" char issue it still remains in 0.6-9. Looking at the source file mainwindow.cpp line 678:
i wonder why is it "%2523" and not just "%23" ?

Sorry if my question is nonsense as my knowledge of c++ is very limited.

Thanks

When you select an icon it should ask if you want to apply to subfolders.
I've tried 23 before and doesn't work. if you open dbus-monitor and send a file via email you'll see it uses 2523 for the # character.

Hi CepiPerez
Thanks for your reply

Apply custom icons to subfolders works as you said.
I was looking for it on settings and tools and didn't notice the "change icon" option in the context menu - my fault.

The "#" char issue is of low importance but it really annoys me because with the standard filemanager it works without any problem.
.
In fact you are right about the string returned by dbus-monitor when sending a file by e-mail in filebox.
For instance for this file: "/home/user/MyDocs/#test.txt"
the dbus-monitor string with filebox is:
Just for curiosity with standard filemanager is:
Note that the file "#test.txt" is correctly attached to the e-mail using either filemanager or filebox.

However, if the file name is "%test.txt" the dbus string with filebox is:
and with filemanager:
but although the file is attached when using filemanager with filebox there is no attachment.

It seams that the "%25" prefix is needed and not only with the "#" char.

I couldn't figure how to get the dbus string when opening "#test.txt". It would allow to compare filemanager and filebox and find why it doesn't work with filebox.

I've uploaded version 0.7-1.
There's nothing new in this, I just clean some parts of the code.
The popup menu should work better now. Please test and comment.


@sacal: I've tryed to fix the # and % problem but no luck yet.

Hi CepiPerez

Installed v0.7-1 and rebooted after install

In my device this new version doesn't run well:
- exits when trying to open the majority of MyDocs folders. It however opens some folders with just a few items inside.

Thanks

I don't understand what you're trying to say.

Sorry if i wasn't clear.
With multiselection enabled trying to open a folder crashes filebox.
If muitiselectiion disabled the folders open normaly

I just installed 0.7-1. I've tested it fairly thoroughly and so far have not seen any problems. Multitouch works fine - I was able to select several files and send via bluetooth.

To me, this looks like the nicest file browser I've seen for the N900. It has a nice, straight forward display, it's easy to use, has a tremendous number of features, many preferences can be changed, and it works. Thanks!!

@sacal:
Sorry, you're right. The new implementation for a faster popup menu fails on multiselection. That's why filebox crashes.
Uploading 0.7-2 now
