4Pane not displayed as normal user
-
Effectively there was a ~/.4Pane. That explains it. Presumably that .4Pane was somehow damaged. And I only put it in ~/.config . And that works perfectly ! I don't see why that change. Do you mean you just moved ~/.4Pane to ~/.config/ ? I wouldn't expect that to have fixed any problem :/ Still, as long as it works... ...Awesome as window manager because it is very light and fast, and it can be used by the keyboard : it's more convenient than using the mouse all the day. We are all different. Some...
-
No crash, but no display... and no new .config/4Pane created. That's a shame. A damaged .config/.4Pane was the most likely cause, and the easiest to fix. Though, did you check there isn't also a ~/.4Pane? If there is, that would be 'found' first and, if it's damaged,... Another question: which Desktop environment and Window manager are you using? I don't see why it should be a problem, but just in case. Oh, and is this a standard AMD64 architecture? Otherwise you could try debugging the crash. That...

Hi, I'm sorry to hear that. FWIW I'm on bullseye too, without crashes. Negative content width -6 (allocation 1, extents 4x3) while allocating gadget (node toolbar, owner GtkToolbar) several times, then : gtk_box_gadget_distribute: assertion 'size >= 0' failed in GtkScrollbar Those are standard GTK+ spam; they don't matter. *** Caught unhandled unknown exception; terminating which does matter! Do you need more information ? Yes please. From where did you get 4Pane? 4Pane 8.0 from https://www.4Pane.co.uk/Download.htm...

Massive deleting of files on start
-
Thank you for letting me know about this disturbing report. Of course I've never experienced anything like this either, even in the early days when 4Pane was experimental. There is nothing in the code that could cause any sort of automatic behaviour. The only way I can conceive of it happening is if some other program was controlling the keyboard and/or mouse, and the 4Pane instance happened to be in focus while it operated. Extremely unlikely, but I have no better suggestion. As for the reporter's...

Initial FreeBSD support

Recently, 4Pane had been ported to FreeBSD I'm delighted to hear that! Many thanks for your patches. I've applied them and confirm that they are Linux-safe.

Which Linux distro & version are you using? Xubuntu Ubuntu 22.04.1 LTS Thank you. Testing the apt repository 4Pane, which is built against wxWidgets 3.0.5, I do see the issue (though it's not as bad as I've seen elsewhere!). When using the same version of 4Pane, but built against wx3.2.0., the issue has disappeared: see the screenshots (in the second shot you can see the wx3.0.5 4Pane in the background). It was a wxWidgets bug, and was fixed 6 months ago after this bug-report. If you want a 4Pane...

Thank you; there's no hurry. The other questions are: 1. Which Linux distro & version are you using? 2. Which version of 4Pane? (see Help > About 4Pane) 3. Which DE (Desktop Environment) and WM (Window manager)? If you are using the default ones for that distro/version just say so; otherwise: echo $XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP will probably print the DE. If wmctrl is available, doing as root: wmctrl -m should print the WM. Alternatively I've seen recommendations for Neofetch.
-
The command line is always in place Not necessarily: if you close it from the View menu, then do Options > Save pane settings, it won't be there when you restart 4Pane. which I think requires an extra step to open the emulator No, it should open when the Command-line opens. If it doesn't, that's a bug. which makes me a good person to find shortcomings Indeed. If anyone finds a bug, or an important missing feature, I definitely want to be told!

Right mouse click on Command Line Gives Unexpected Results
-
I'm surprised it does even that ;) The Command-line is there just in case anyone has a use for it, though I can't think of one myself. I use the Terminal Emulator directly, rather than entering a command in the Command-line, then looking in the Terminal Emulator for the output. I also can't think of much use for a context menu there: there's no output text to copy, only the Prompt and any text you type. If you want to copy that, highlighting should add it to the Primary clipboard, then middle-click...

displayed as output at the bottom I presume you mean in the Terminal Emulator. That does have a context menu in the correct circumstance: try running 'ls' in it so that you get a valid list of filepaths; then a right-click will give you the choice of GoTo that filepath, or Open it (see the screenshot). Partly because of that, there's no default context menu. I'll see if I can provide one without disrupting the current situation.
-
Yes, I've occasionally seen this myself. It varies between distros, meaning their DE and/or Window Managers, and I've only seen it when 4Pane is built against GTK+3 (more accurately, when 4Pane's wxWidgets dependency is built against GTK+3). And of course, I can't now find a DE/WM combination that demonstrates the issue! Which distro/version are you using? And which DE and WM? Which version of 4Pane? And of its wxWidgets and GTK: you can discover those by doing Ctrl-Alt-Middleclick over 4Pane: see...

Compilation fixes for wxWidgets 3.1.6

Ah, I see what you mean. No, 4Pane intentionally doesn't do mime-types. From the FAQ: Why doesn't 4Pane look up the mime-type of each file it displays? Speed. Opening my /usr/bin directory containing several thousand files used to take less than a second in 4Pane, compared with 15 seconds in Konqueror. Admittedly that was some time ago, and the difference is much less with a more modern computer. Nevertheless, why spend time and cpu cycles checking when you hardly ever need to know the answers? Of...

Hi, 4Pane can use either the system icons, or its own. IIRC it uses the system ones by default, but you can see and change this in Options > Configure 4Pane > The Display > Misc: 'Whenever possible, use stock icons. See also https://www.4pane.co.uk/manual/ConfiguringDisplay.htm If that setting is already ticked, it might be worth trying temporarily changing your system font and see if 4Pane changes with it.

Filetypes.cpp:363: infinite-recursion
-
Is this different from your previous report, https://sourceforge.net/p/fourpane/bugs/11/ ? Or is the report itself recursive? ;) In the intervening 5 years, I've had no reports of actual infinite recursion, and experienced none myself.

'It's not a bug, it's a feature' ;) What you are seeing is, as you said, the Move (or Copy) symbol, together with the symbol for 'You can't drop there'. That's because you aren't hovering over a filename. If you move the mouse over a file or directory name, you will see that the 'Not here' symbol changes to a hand with a finger pointing. See https://www.4pane.co.uk/manual/DnD.htm for more information and images.

The binary I tried to install that threw the error is the .deb from: https://www.4pane.co.uk/6.0/debian/pool/x11/4/4pane/4pane_6.0-1unofficial.stretch_amd64.deb linked from the page (tried both buster and stretch - both threw the error RE: "libwxbase3.0.0-unofficial") I see what you mean about stretch; it's confirmed by dpkg -I. I must have had 'alternatives' point to the wrong wxWidgets install when I built the stretch package. The buster and ubuntu packages are OK though. Thank you for reporting...

Hi, I make 'unofficial' builds of wxWidgets, mostly to build a different program, the CodeLite IDE. So to answer the "Where is it?" question, see https://wiki.codelite.org/pmwiki.php/Main/WxWidgets30Binaries (there's also https://wiki.codelite.org/pmwiki.php/Main/WxWidgets31Binaries or one of its links). But, as you imply, 4Pane normally uses the distro's wxWidgets packages. A quick look at the MX repo page suggests it tracks debian stable, and so should have an official 4pane package that depends...
-
Hi, What do you mean by a template? On starting, if 4Pane finds its config file, it will use it. It searches in sensible places, e.g. ~/.4Pane, ~/.config/4Pane/.4Pane, but you can also point to a particular config file when you open 4Pane: 4Pane -c /path/to/MyDefault1. However 4Pane does check that the file is 'genuine', so be aware of that when creating your template (better would be to repurpose a current .4Pane). Alternatively there is a facility to create a conf file: see https://www.4pane.co.uk/manual/Export.htm...
