Could you make it work like symbian for navigating files? If you use the right arrow to open highlighted folder and left arrow to go one folder up then it would be like the old symbian file managers. Very fast and efficient.

Uploaded version 0.4-5 to extras-devel
Now you can decompress tar, tar.gz, tar.bz2 and zip files using filebox

Please make some test for this.
If it works 100% I'll promote the package to extras-testing.

is there any chance of auto closing the confirmation boxes after copying a file has finished rather than having to press close, have been using filebox for some intense modding and it is quite annoying after a while.

By far one of the best file manager. Much faster to browse my file system now.

I have just two requests, can there be an 'open with' feature: should save the problem of having to manually add text editors and stuff.

Also can there be an option to enable 'marking' faster. For example you touch an icon on the side (like where 'settings' icon is located) it enables marking, touch again, it disables marking. Should make browsing much faster than double tapping.

And again thanks for such an awesome filemanager!

CepiPerez

Thanks again for your work.

I must have something missing.

I can only compress and decompress tar files.

I can create tar and tar.gz files. However when i try to decompress tar.gz no files are listed in the extract files screen and the size is 0bytes.

tar.bz2 and zip files i can't either compress or decompress.
For instance when i try to create a zip file the compressing screen says finished the progress bar is at 0% and no zip file is crested.

I have bzip2 installed.

sacal:
open x-term an type:

- compress a folder:
tar -czvf test.tar.gz any_folder_here (this will create a tar.gz file)
tar -cjvf test.tar.bz2 any_folder_here (this will create a tar.bz2 file)
zip test.zip any_folder_here (this will create a zip file)

- decompress:
tar -xvf test.tar.gz
tar Fxf test.tar.bz2
unzip -o test.zip

tell me how those commands work.

FileBox uses the same commands with differents arguments maybe, but not uses own compressors/decompressors.
If they work then tell me what are you trying to compress or decompress

Thanks CepiPerez for your support and fast reply

As you suggest i executed from xterm:

Code:

~ $ tar -czvf /home/user/MyDocs/test.tar /home/user/MyDocs/Comptest/
tar: removing leading '/' from member names
home/user/MyDocs/Comptest/
home/user/MyDocs/Comptest/GUID-013B5D9B-4AB8-4938-93FE-472A64BE7E63.html

home/user/MyDocs/Comptest/GUID-0DF214DC-A7E6-4930-AD35-0AD4F373290A.html
~ $

and 3 files test.tar, test.tar.gz and test.tar.bz2 where created in MyDocs folder.

Then i tried to create a zip archive but i got:

Code:

~ $ zip /home/user/MyDocs/test.zip /home/user/MyDocs/Comptest/             
-sh: zip: not found

In fact i don't remember to have any zip file compressor installed.

Finally i tried to decompress the archive files just created and i got:

Code:

~ $ tar -xvf /home/user/MyDocs/test.tar.gz
tar: invalid tar magic
~ $ 
~ $ tar Fxf /home/user/MyDocs/test.tar.bz2  
tar: invalid option -- F
BusyBox v1.10.2 (Debian 3:1.10.2.legal-1osso30+0m5) multi-call binary

Usage: tar -[czxtvO] [-X FILE] [-f TARFILE] [-C DIR] [FILE(s)]...

~ $

The tar version i am using is:

Code:

~ $ tar --version
tar: unrecognized option `--version'
BusyBox v1.10.2 (Debian 3:1.10.2.legal-1osso30+0m5) multi-call binary

Usage: tar -[czxtvO] [-X FILE] [-f TARFILE] [-C DIR] [FILE(s)]...

~ $

I hope this can help you diagnose the problem
