[Workerfm-users] new Worker version 4.12.0

[Ralf H. <ra...@bo...>]

Hi,

there is a new Worker release 4.12.0 available. This release adds a 
configurable alternative font for the text view which can be used to use 
a monospace font if needed. The text selection and copy and paste has 
been improved as well. Other improvements and bug fixes have been done too.

As usual, you can download it here:

http://boomerangsworld.de/cms/worker/downloads/worker-4.12.0.tar.zst

Here is the complete ChangeLog:

** new features:

    - add font configuration for alternative text view font.
      - font can be toggled in text view by either clicking on the
        corresponding button or pressing 'f'
      - can be used to have a variable width font and a monospaced font.

** improvements:

    - added text view scrolling when selecting text. This also fixes
      selection box drawing which could been drawn beyond the area of
      the text area.
    - added support for separate X11 clipboard buffer used with Ctrl-c/v
      copy-and-paste. Text in text fields and text view can be copied to
      X11 clipboard with Ctrl-c. In text fields Ctrl-x and Ctrl-v is
      available too. Copy and paste with middle mouse click is still
      available regularly.
    - when files or directories could not be copied completely because
      some error, there is now an additional dialog asking to continue,
      skip or cancel. This can happen if a directory could not be read,
      or a file could not be accessed. There has already been an error
      message previously, but now there is another dialog and a list of
      incomplete entries is shown at the end of the copy process.
    - updated openssl usage for file checksumming to not use deprecated
      functions if newer equivalents are available (OpenSSL 3).

** fixes:

    - fixed crash when a dot is entered in quick search mode in an empty
      directory.
    - fixed mouse over help sometimes missing for some windows.
    - fixed example scripts for virtual directories of git repositories,
      scripts for untracked and modified files had a wrong filter for
      .. files.
    - the command log for file renames showed the target name as the
      source name too.
    - pasting some utf8 text in text field might not always worked
      correctly.
    - fixed compilation when no regexp library is available.

** other changes:

    - updated worker.desktop file and added metainfo.xml file

Oh! I see...
I forgot the middle mouse button was always the default to click for 
pasting in Linux..
Further I have to admit that using the second pane as a viewer panel 
works great, in contradiction to what I said in my first post; it is 
quick and effective for browsing. I jumped to the wrong conclusion that 
it was not working because I only had .pdf files to view and as I 
selected imagemagick as the viewer I thought it should show up in the 
pane (I could always see the pdf file by double-clicking and this is 
probably the best/quickest option in Linux. I did find one file manager 
which would, on a double-click, show a thumbnail large enough to read 
the headings in it, so not so useful, and it is non-FOSS though free for 
private use).
So thank you for a great program that "just works".

The "copy to clipboard" command puts the text into the buffer for 
middle-mouse button, but not into the buffer usually used with 
Copy&Paste commands.

You could convert the current buffer content into that buffer with 
commands like

xclip -o | xclip -sel clip

but I will also evaluate to support ctrl-c/v directly.

Replying to my own post

Subject: [Workerfm-users] Copy to clipboard is lost

<quote> my "Own Command" seemed to run fine (no error messages with 
--verbose option, terminal closed after command ran). But running xclip 
-o did not return the filename. So it looks to me that there is some 
communication problem between Worker and the distro resulting in the 
information getting lost. </quote>

I had not read the man page for xclip :o
On trying it out (not through Worker) I ran into "waiting for input" 
hangups. Googling led me to xsel, which is similar but does not have 
this behaviour. So now I have it working (also in version 4.11.0)!

My "Own command" is
echo -n {F} | /usr/bin/xsel -ib

You need to click on "Button configuration" in the menu that opens when 
you open the configuration menu (you can click on the star symbol next 
to the A at the top of the worker window). Select a button, type in what 
you want to call it, click on "Add command" and then select "own 
command" from the top of the list. Click okay and type the command into 
the box that appears (If you are editing the command on a future 
modification you need to double-click on the own command entry that 
appears in a window). I chose the default selections of ""use temporary 
copies for all virtual files used..." and "Flags without path are 
relative to base dir" and "start in normal mode". Click on okay and save 
buttons on your way out.  I can then click and paste the filename into 
my terminal window in Konsole (but not in xterm, I don't think it does 
that).

Thank you to Ralf for a great program that spans the centuries!

[Workerfm-users] Copy to clipboard is lost

[listsetc <lis...@bt...>]

I have been using Worker as a really nice adjunct to the cli (I 
appreciate its minimal requirements too) for about a year. The "copy 
filename to clipboard" action with the right mouse button has never 
worked for me (also using the second pane in "show image mode" has not 
worked, could this be related?). I hoped it would be "fixed" in the next 
release or O/S update but on compiling Worker 4.11.0 on openSUSE Leap 
15.4 (KDE desktop) the situation was the same.
To try and eliminate AppArmor or the distro I was using I disabled 
AppArmor on Linux Mint 20.2 Cinnamon and compiled worker 4.11.0, but the 
problem was the same. Next I uninstalled it and installed from the 
package manager; I got Worker 4.0.1 which had the same problem. So I 
tried Ralf's suggestion (before he made "copy filename to clipboard" an 
internal command) of using xclip, which I installed. I got an xterm not 
found message so realised that xterm is not installed by default in 
Linux Mint; after installing it my "Own Command" seemed to run fine (no 
error messages with --verbose option, terminal closed after command 
ran). But running xclip -o did not return the filename. So it looks to 
me that there is some communication problem between Worker and the 
distro resulting in the information getting lost.
Is there some configuration I can do? What distros/desktops are people 
using where this works?
Thanks for any leads (I really want this to work- have been running a 
terminal in the directory I am working in to copy to clipboard from as I 
cannot do that from xterm).

[Workerfm-users] new Worker version 4.11.0

[Ralf H. <ra...@bo...>]

Hi,

there is a new Worker release 4.11.0 available. This release improves 
the list view context menus to allow stashing active filters. The copy 
command can be configured with specific overwrite modes. The directory 
command can ignore file name case when comparing files. Other 
improvements and bug fixes have been done too.

As usual, you can download it here:

http://boomerangsworld.de/cms/worker/downloads/worker-4.11.0.tar.zst

Here is the complete ChangeLog:

** new features:

   - for the copy operation, the initial overwrite mode can be
     configured to always or never overwrite existing files, or to
     request on each existing entry (which is the default). If the
     config option is not set during command execution (via the
     "request flags" option), a confirmation is required if the option
     is not the default value to avoid unintended overwrites.
   - the directory compare command has a new option to compare file
     names case-insensitive.
   - the list view context menu about filters has new options to stash
     all currently active filters on a stack of stored filters. These
     stashed filters can be reapplied later from the same menu.  There
     are also new registered commands "stash_current_filters",
     "pop_stashed_filters", and "top_stashed_filters" to modify the
     stack directly without accessing the menu.  This feature allows to
     quickly switch between sets of filters without requiring to
     configure them manually.

** improvements:

   - when pressing Cursor right in a virtual directory to limit the
     virtual directory to the top level directory of the current entry,
     the previously active entry is activated again so it remains
     active.
   - the command log window now does not block the main program. The
     alternate function of the "go to" button keeps the window open.
   - the filter select command now groups all filters by matching and
     mismatching filters. All filters which has been used previously
     and matches the current entry will be shown at the bottom in the
     first table column for fast access. All filters which do not match
     the current entry are shown in the second column. Both filter
     groups can still be used but the separation makes it easier to
     select the wanted filter.
   - pressing Return in a context menu on an submenu entry will change
     the focus to the submenu to make navigation easier.
   - the list view context menu can now be opened even if no entries
     are shown. The menu content is reduced to allow for modification
     of active filters and access directory presets.
   - added support to increase memory limit for XZ handler inside AVFS
     when trying to open archives that require higher memory
     limits. When this happens (and is supported by AVFS), a dialog
     pops up to ask for confirmation.

** fixes:

   - fix possible crash with Xft font rendering.
   - some of the example scripts for virtual dirs based on git repo
     status failed when there were no entries.
   - fix some compiler warnings about deprecated C++ stuff.
   - in directory compare, the file size limit was not reset to
     unlimited if no value was entered but a non-zero values has been
     set before.
   - fixed generating temporary file copies for {t} if the file name
     does not have any file extension.

** other changes:

   - updated Czech translation
     (Thanks to Petr Korviny)

Best regards,

Ralf

The button is programmed to create the tar archive in the inactive panel 
so make sure the other panel actually shows a directory. On startup the 
inactive panel will just be empty and the button won't work.

Also, which OS are you using? Maybe the tar implementation does not 
accept the arguments given by the command bound to the button.

hi,

there are much ways it could be done. it would matter describing the
intention and sending the program line  if wanting fixing a
specific attempt. 

yet anyway, a generic way could be:

 adding files in the current path/panel to a newly created
archive in the other path/panel. the archive name can be the same than
the first file name . the files would be displayed in a temporary
terminal.

config > button configuration > [click on a button] edit button > add
command
> own command

with the window "configure own command" being focused

start mode:
in terminal and wait for key
or normal mode if not wanting a terminal

program line:
tar --xattrs --one-file-system -cvf "{op}/{uf}.tar" {a}

tick/radio boxes:
only tick "run in background"
since if there are much files, doing an archive could take a long time.


then save the config
okay > okay > save

then trying it.

[Workerfm-users] new Worker version 4.10.1

[Ralf H. <ra...@bo...>]

Hi,

there is a new Worker release 4.10.1 available. This release improves 
the path jump feature to support locking the view to a specific 
directory and to not block when browsing the list and background 
existence test is still running. Also, the git scripts for virtual dirs 
of git related files support subdir views.

As usual, you can download it here:

http://boomerangsworld.de/cms/worker/downloads/worker-4.10.1.tar.zst

Here is the complete ChangeLog:

** improvements:

   - path jump improvements:
     - use async existence test in path jump dialog for breadcrumb
       buttons to avoid blocking on entries for which the test takes a
       while (for example, if they are within archives).
     - the elements in the path jump window can be limited to the
       current directory either on startup by toggling the lock status
       with Ctrl-l. When locked, only entries in the current directory
       (and its subdirectories) are shown. Also, navigation outside the
       locked directory is forbidden.
     - the path jump command has a new option to open the path jump
       window in locked mode.
     - when entering a filter, only existing entries are used for
       matching if non-existing entries are hidden.
     - the path jump window does no longer shrink when toggling the
       inclusion of the archived entries.

** other changes:

   - add example script for creating a virtual dir of all changed files
     in a git repository since a specific commit. An example button is
     provided when starting the new version.
   - the git example scripts has been modified to work within
     subdirectories and only show matching entries in that
     subdirectory.
   - when creating temporary copies of files with flag {t}, for symlinks
     a copy of the target file is created.
   - updated Czech translation

[Workerfm-users] new Worker version 4.10.0

[Ralf H. <ra...@bo...>]

Hi,

there is a new Worker release 4.10.0 available. This release adds a 
dialog to show the log of file operations. The path jump dialog has been 
improved to optionally hide non-existing entries dynamically and also 
supports an archive of unused entries to speed up regular usage. When 
filtering the list view, a starting dot will automatically show hidden 
files for faster access. More dialogs can be closed with the Escape key. 
The performance of directory read has been improved on some operating 
systems.

As usual, you can download it here:

http://boomerangsworld.de/cms/worker/downloads/worker-4.10.0.tar.zst

Here is the complete ChangeLog:

** new features:

   - the path jump dialog can now hide non-existing entries immediately
     without having to check all entries first. The hide button has
     been changed to a toggle button and it is also bound to
     Ctrl+e. There is no longer a dialog to ask for removal of
     non-existing entries from database. Use the regular cleanup button
     to remove those entries.
   - add a log of executed commands which work on files. The log shows
     the last 1000 commands and can be accessed via the main window
     menu or the new "view command log" command (bound to C-x l in
     default config).

** improvements:

   - when filtering the file list and the filter string starts with a
     dot, hidden files are automatically shown. When the directory is
     changed, the previous state for showing/hiding hidden files is
     restored.
   - many dialog and configuration windows can be closed by pressing
     Escape.
   - the path jump dialog allows to move old, non-existing entries into
     an archive which is not shown by default and can be cleaned up
     separately. This makes using the path jump dialog faster for large
     databases.

** fixes:

   - improve performance when reading large directories when converting
     file times to local time.

** other changes:

   - updated Czech translation
     (Thanks to Petr Korviny)

Best regards,

Ralf

You can choose from different mouse bindings and also select custom
ones, check this configuration setting:
http://www.boomerangsworld.de/cms/worker/documentation/configuration/mouse.html

You may want to try out the midnight commander style.

You can configure the delete command to also delete the currently
highlighted entry, if no other is currently selected. If it is that what
you meant.

This command allows to execute external programs on selected files:
http://www.boomerangsworld.de/cms/worker/documentation/commands/owncommand.html


Example string for your example would be "strip {a}" to execute strip
with all selected files.

[Rene D. <gad...@gm...>]

Hi,
I'm using worker for few months and it's pretty stable, lightweight, 
quite nice (I can't believe the app uses only 7 colors ,)) and I'm using 
only 6 of them, hah.. Anyway.. few Q(s)..

1) When I click on the folder w/ the mouse, it's selected. Can I disable 
this (feature)? At least in the code..

2) On the other side, I can delete the folder using Del key ONLY when 
it's selected. Can I enable this (feature)? Or at least in the code??

3) And finally.. Can I define custom commands e.g. I often strip 
selected files in Mid. Commander:

Well done btw..
And thanks for the A(s)..

[Workerfm-users] new Worker version 4.9.0

[Ralf H. <ra...@bo...>]

Hi,

there is a new Worker release 4.9.0 available. This release improves the
chmod command to allow to apply a fixed set of permissions without a
user dialog. Some low-level registered commands has been added and these
commands can be executed interactively even if they require an argument.
A problem with the tmp dir being mounted as noexec has been fixed as
well as problems with a tmp dir containing spaces and other special
characters.

As usual, you can download it here:

http://boomerangsworld.de/cms/worker/downloads/worker-4.9.0.tar.zst

Here is the complete ChangeLog:

** new features:

  - new registered commands:
    - "show_entry" enters the directory of the given name and
      highlights the base name.
    - "vdir_add_entry" adds an full path name to an existing virtual
      dir or creates a new virtual dir with that entry.
    - "vdir_from_script_stack" creates a new virtual dir with all
      elements of a selected ScriptOp stack.
  - registered commands with arguments can now also be selected in
    ScriptOp and from command menu. In ScriptOp, the arguments can be
    given directly or via dynamic flag replacement. In command menu, a
    dialog appears asking for the argument, which can also be entered
    directly or via flag replacement.
  - the chmod command can now be configured to directly apply a
    given set of permissions without asking. The octal representation
    of the chosen permission is shown as well and can be entered
    directly too.

** improvements:

  - support config directory according to freedesktop specification in
    $HOME/.config/worker instead of $HOME/.worker. The latter
    directory still takes precedence over the former if it exists so
    no changes must be made and it only applies to new installations.

** fixes:

  - fixed problems with temporary files:
    - if /tmp (or $TMPDIR) is mounted noexec, command execution in a
      terminal did not work. The configuration value for the terminal
      to use must be changed to make it work. The default value is
      changed accordingly.
    - if $TMPDIR contains spaces or other special characters, command
      execution did not work correctly. Due to missing quoting, files
      that are part of the TMPDIR string might be unintentionally
      overwritten.
  - fixed bug in Polish translation which changed language back to
    English on save.

Best regards,

Ralf

It is not possible to change that character. It is taken from your
system's locale defintion (man 7 locale, thousands_sep). Can you tell me
which locale you are using so I can try to reproduce it? When I use
ru_RU.utf8, the thousands separator seems to be a shorter space
character, but that may only be the case on my system.

[Workerfm-users] More about the XFT bug

[Per B. <lis...@tu...>]

It was not a bug in Worker, but some distributions, at least
Mandrake-derived ones, installs some files in /etc/fonts/conf.d that
block the use of at least some bitmapfonts.
26-mdv-no-embeddedbitmap.conf is one of them.

The reason is a bug in an ancient version of Openoffice, so old that it
is not possible to find any exact information about it. I think it is
important only for those writing simplified Chinese with an antique Qt4
version of Openoffice.

Anyway, I am happy to see both the latest release of Worker and the
Pclos package of Worker 4.8.0 (with the xft-patch, I took the liberty
of forwarding it without asking for permission).

Per B.
