As a heads up, deleting a favorite from the file dialog in e17 is broken (at least was a few days ago). Instead of removing the symlink, it starts to remove the dir pointed to. If that happens to be important and you ahve write permission to it.... I think raster may have fixed this already (I saw a commit regarding symlinks, but didn't look in detail). Just in case he didn't, you've been warned. Now raster, I want my Applications (mac) back! :) -- rephorm |

He may have fixed your evil little bug as a side effect. Please test, and throw things at raster if it's still broken. |

If the latter is true, how do I get the fm? Since the "Test file manager" entry from the configuration menu is gone, I cannot find any way to launch it. Thanks, Nick. |

It works and is now used where ever you get to select a file. No need to have a test menu item for it anymore. So the fm and the file selector are the same thing. |

Since the "Test file manager" entry from the configuration menu is > gone, I cannot find any way to launch it. it is used as the list of wallpapers in the wallpaper dialog it is the list of themes in the theme dialog it is the list of wallapers in the desklock advanced bg selector it is the list of init splash screens it is the picture import dialog for the wallaper config it is the lists of apps in the all applications dialogs it is the icon selector in the app selector dialog... it's hiding in oh so many places. that was the POINT of doing a fm - if done right it doubles as file selector and we will recycle it everywhere. it's not us wanting to compete with nautilus or entropy or evidence etc. etc. it's a need for a file selector - or anything that selects something that is based on a list of files in 1 or more dirs. fm2 is sufficiently done to serve as a list file selector with manual refresh. it needs more work- and that work will go int it over time. -- ------------- Codito, ergo sum - "I code, therefore I am" -------------- The Rasterman (Carsten Haitzler) ra...@ra... 裸好多 Tokyo, Japan (東京 日本) |

But for me, a file selection dialog and a file manager are different things, from a functionality point of view. Will there be something like a file manager in e17? Best, Nick. |

Will there be > something like a file manager in e17? nuts and bolts under the hood - they are the same. they do the same things. thus the selector == file manager under the hood for us. we have no display mode right now that works with "traditional icon view". no dnd. etc. etc. - but that will come. it is on the todo. the same filemanager behind the fileselector will handle icons on the desktop and a traditional icon view - when i get to putting that in, but priority right now is to make it work with list views for file selectors and config dialogs. we had a lot of issues to clean up - and they are now solved by fm2 (the shorthand name for the new filemanager back end). -- ------------- Codito, ergo sum - "I code, therefore I am" -------------- The Rasterman (Carsten Haitzler) ra...@ra... 裸好多 Tokyo, Japan (東京 日本) |
