My icons on the right are, from the top:
home
cdrom
copy
move
link
rename
trash
make dir
refresh
switch


no sign of edit there.

Does this help

Thanks PCQ.

But under the Trash icon I have neither the eye icon nor the edit (paper) icon.
I'm running version 1.2 on the default settings, single pane.

It is very strange.

Oh well, i'll keep investigating ....

Hey, it sounds your installation is not finding the proper configuration file. By default it looks in /home/user/.config/emelfm2

I noticed similar behavior when i ran it as root, so i fixed the root (maybe that was your issue)... adding another configuration in /root/.config/emelfm2.

Try the new installers (1.2.1) here and let me know if you still have trouble :

Edit : Its also possible theres a language issue... if you would, go into /home/user/.config/emelfm2 directory (if you dont see the .config dir then hit the H icon) and tell me what files you see in that directory. The default configuration file i copy is called config-en_US (for english us)

Tried the 1.21.
no change.

In the config/emelfm2 directory are:
cache -rw----- user users
config-en_GB -rw-------- user users
config-en_US -rw-rw-rw- root root

I am in the UK.

cheers, and thanks for your help.

I updated the installer to force emelfm2 to force emelfm2 to use en_US locale (needed to see custom config). I will look into better way to handle localization but for english speakers the workaround should be fine (im guessing most people speak 'english icons'

Can you try downloading 1.2.2 from link above?

Sorry for the trouble, its still several versions shy of being a 'maemo user friendly' application... but its getting there

Well OK - we are making progress.
I uninstalled, deleted the folder with the cache and settings and reinstalled the 1.2.1 version.
Still didn't work.
So deleted the GB file and renamed to US as you suggested and - success

So many thanks for you help (and indeed all the work you are putting into this app).

Now while i have your (metaphorical) ear - i tried changing the permissions of the platformHTMLBindings.xml file. I get the message that I am not authorised to do it. Can this be done within EmelFM2 or will I have to do the chmod business?

I see your online, yep i changed workaround just a minute ago to force emelfm2 to use 'en_US' locale in version 1.2.2 but i cant test other locales at the moment so i hope that works well.

platformHTMLBindings.xml... hmm i see you can only edit that if you are root. By default emelfm2 runs as 'user' which is the safe way to do things. You can use emelfm2 as root but you should only do that if your careful. I made fixes for emelfm2 to 'find' configuration when run as root so if you :
go into xterm
sudo gainroot
then type 'emelfm2' it should launch emelfm2 with root privileges.

If you need to troubleshoot root mode, the actual configuration files for root are in /root/.config/emelfm2 and i should be forcing the en_US file even though i temporarily distributed en_GB file.

So try upgrading to 1.2.2 and -ONLY AS NEEDED- run emelfm2 in root mode and see if all the variations pick up the config correctly.

Gotta run- let me know how that works and i'll fix up any trouble areas later when i get back. -Thanks

Total success

Upgraded to 1.2.2 - worked fine.

Followed your instructions above and made the changes so now micob works a bit more sensibly.

Many thanks again for your assistance and look forward to more upgrades.

cheers

Great, thanks for your help! I'm sure this fix will help out alot of other users too.
