Re: Ranger, a textbased filemanager

if f.extension in ('pdf', ):
                                return self.either(c, 'foxitreader', 'okular'
, 'gimp')

Between the two lines, add

c.flags += 'd'

Thank you

Also I want ranger to show the size of the directories ( not the number of files) but the size in MB or GB. And I want to sort  as per this size.

That is currently not supported

atleast can it sort the file size option from smaller to larger. in the "du" command

Yup, that's what the dU key binding is for. It takes longer though, since it has to wait until all sizes had been calculated before it can sort.

Re: Ranger, a textbased filemanager

Hut,

I added the code to ~/.config/ranger/keys.py for `move to trash` from https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ranger .
But it's not working. I'm using latest Ranger.
BTW, excellent FM.

Re: Ranger, a textbased filemanager

The new version's heavily revamped.

A straight port goes like this (UNTESTED) in your rc.conf:

map DD shell mv -t /home/myname/.Trash %s

I prefer trash-cli so use this:

map DD shell trash-put %s

The advantage is that you get timestamps, restore, etc..

Re: Ranger, a textbased filemanager

I found out that I must enter command-mode(:), then to press `DD`. Is this supposed to be like this ?

No. Can you post your rc.conf or your keys.py etc.? It'd help me see what happened.

Maybe you accidently wrote "cmap" instead of "map"?

Re: Ranger, a textbased filemanager

Hi Hut,

With latest pull of ranger-git, I have a bug when I type <r> (for open with) then "nano". Nothing is happening (file is not opening). Instead I got this warning in my terminal :

[~]$ ranger
Failed to run: ('nano', <ranger.core.runner.Context object at 0x9e3448c>)

Best regards,
Sirsurthur

Thank you and sorry for the inconvenience. Fixed

By the way, if you set the environment variable EDITOR=nano, it will always run nano (on text files anyway). No need to mess with apps.py.

Re: Ranger, a textbased filemanager

Update: --copy-config is obsolete. Ranger now automatically copies configuration files filled with documentation to your ~/.config/ranger. Disable with --dont-copy-config.

Please test ranger thoroughly, I'm eager to make another release! :)

The difference between stable and master has already become too big, and I think that master is actually more stable than the stable branch...

What motivated this change? I would have thought it made sense the first way.

Re: Ranger, a textbased filemanager

==> Running setup.py...
error: can't copy 'ranger/data/config_examples': doesn't exist or not a regular file

I get this while installing ranger-git so I guess it is related to the latest version.

I also think it made much more sense the way it was before (regarding the config files).

Re: Ranger, a textbased filemanager

1. If you copy the defaults with --copy-config=all and update later, your configs are not updated. If the defaults are fixed in upstream, they will still be broken for you. Ranger doesn't copy the defaults anymore, instead it copies documented examples which do nothing by default.

2. It seems more user-friendly to me if there are some examples in your config directory, put there automatically.

What do you object with? The automatical copying or the coping of examples instead of defaults?

Silly setup script. Fixed, thanks.

Re: Ranger, a textbased filemanager

I agree with you regarding the copied configs having only commented examples that do nothing. However, I don't really see the point in automatically copying them unless the user really does want to configure stuff (in which case running ranger --copy-config is simple enough). However, this is a super minor issue and doesn't really bother me at all

Re: Ranger, a textbased filemanager

Same here, especially as I don't like loose config files lying around. I like the documentation-only approach, but automatically copying seems inconvenient, especially when you don't want to configure ranger. It doesn't really affect me - I've already got a config - but it seems like a very odd choice.

Re: Ranger, a textbased filemanager

Okay, I'm convinced that automatically copying configs is too intrusive. I reverted the changes for now.

Re: Ranger, a textbased filemanager

ranger 1.5.0 is out.
There's not much new if you used ranger-git before, but there are lots of (backward-incompatible) changes for ranger-stable users.
Changelog is on http://ranger.nongnu.org/

Re: Ranger, a textbased filemanager

Greetings,

New Ranger user here. Nice FM, thanks for all your efforts hut!

After reviewing this thread and not finding an answer to my concern, I was hoping the forum could help....

I prefer not to have <RIGHT> nor "l" edit a file.

I prefer only <CR> edit a file.

Seems to me that "move right=1" should not default to edit.

Any ideas?

Re: Ranger, a textbased filemanager

SquareRoot: Uhm... you'll have to code this.

map l eval fm.env.cf.is_directory and fm.move(right=1)
copymap l <right>

Re: Ranger, a textbased filemanager

hut,

Excellent! That works.
Your support is amazing and this tool is SO flexible!

I suffer from MC finger memory and notice that F1, F3, F4, and F5 do not seem to work.
F7, F8, and F10 do work.
Not sure about F6 yet.

Any ideas?

Re: Ranger, a textbased filemanager

They work for me. What do you expect them to do? Note that F5 and F6 are like pressing "yy" (copy) and "dd" (cut) in vim. So in order to start copying/cutting, you have to move to the destination and press "pp" (for paste) first.

Re: Ranger, a textbased filemanager

hut, I can't use search, touch, delete file (I use `map DD delete yes'), and maybe there's others.
