I'm sure you can contact them but as I learned they are very busy so they may not answer your questions immediately. As a last resort you can try to catch them via irc... > It's also a very important configurability feature being able to > disable desktop icons You mean it is very important for you, right? :-) Cheers, Imre |

I'm sorry but I'm a bit confused - what is your intention with this "fork"? Does it mean you cannot guarantee correct file operations without coreutils? Or you simply do not want to tackle with this and the file handling will be put out of PCManFM and only coreutils will be used? Seems a bit odd to me. Can you explain it, please? Have a nice day, Imre |

>> It's also a very important configurability feature being able to disable desktop icons > You mean it is very important for you, right? :-) well, i'm not that selfish! ;-) - i think lots of more people likes not having icons on the desktop - and for me it were a last resort for hiding the 'My Documents' icon when it's still pointing at '~/' instead of '~/Documents/' - just because of this, i replaced pcmanfm with nautilus (and i needed to rename /usr/bin/pcmanfm to /usr/bin/_pcmanfm for avoiding it in the processes), and i hope replace back when this can get fixed - i hope i could help on the source code, but since i'm still not good in C language, i don't know where in the code is this, and how to submit the code patch. And about icons on the desktop, i'm curious on seeing this feature implemented - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mPM7MLz7JeA - as everywhere i suggested it, i only saw it implemented on ReactOS... >> i hope the 'My Documents' folder name were defaultly renamed to 'Home', since it provides a huge confusion > I'm not quite sure but isn't it possible it is an XDG thing and you can change it under ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs? i'm seeing it now, i didn't know this configuration file - does is it exclusive to PCManFM, or shared with? There is a ' XDG_DOCUMENTS_DIR="$HOME/Documents" ' anyway, and i think ' XDG_DOWNLOAD_DIR="$HOME/Desktop" ' should point to '~/Downloads/' instead... thanks about sharing all this information! =) On 11/25/08, si...@mz... <si...@mz...> wrote: > > PCMan wrote: > >> https://pcmanfm.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/pcmanfm/branches/gnu >> >> This is still highly experimental, but quite interesting. >> It handles files (copy, move, remove...) with GNU coreutils installed >> on your system. > > I'm sorry but I'm a bit confused - what is your intention with this "fork"? > Does it mean you cannot guarantee correct file operations without > coreutils? > Or you simply do not want to tackle with this and the file handling will be > put > out of PCManFM and only coreutils will be used?

> well, i'm not that selfish! ;-) - i think lots of more people likes > not having icons on the desktop Hmm, if I'm not mistaken you can set PCManFM to not manage the desktop icons: See Edit/Preferences/Desktop and uncheck "Manage the desktop and show file icons". Oh wait... do you want PCManFM to manage the desktop but not the icons? > I'm not quite sure but isn't it possible it is an XDG thing and you can change it under ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs? > > i'm seeing it now, i didn't know this configuration file - does is it > exclusive to PCManFM, or shared with? This settings file is part of base directory specification defined by Freedesktop.org - theoreticaly all standard Linux applications should use it. So it is shared between some applications and PCManFM also should support it and if it doesn't so at the time being I'm sure it will. Have a nice day, Imre |
