qtFM - Small, fast, light Qt filemanager

karabaja4 · 2010-12-26 08:26:20

A bug that is kinda pain to reproduce: get qtfm-3.9.tar.gz file and put it somewhere like ~/Downloads. Get custom action for extract tar.gz and its keyboard shortcut, for example letter E. Go to details view and enter the folder with the file. Click E and then AS FAST AS POSSIBLE double-click on the folder that is created in the background (for this example qtfm-3.9). Do this like 50 times - be careful where you click. One of those times you are sure to get "Segmentation fault" when entering the folder. I usually manage to fire it up inside first 30 tries.

Addidional info: it could be that I in my hurry to open this created folder I "triple-click" on it and cause segmentation fault. In any case it certainly seems that I can fire up segmentation fault more often if I click like a maniac on the folder after it's created.

Is the icon for qtfm the file-manager icon from GNOME-Colors? It looks familiar.

Wittfella · 2010-12-27 06:17:45

It was from Oxygen if I recall

karabaja4 · 2010-12-27 09:42:35

Hey Wittfella, I see a new domain and a webpage is in place http://www.qtfm.org/ it looks extremely nice! Why don't you advertise here, I got the link off PKGBUILD Anyway, I'm sure it will help in promoting qtfm further

Anyway, I see 4.0 is out - is it just placebo or does it seem a bit faster? And because it's faster, I can see the reordering sometimes again - I'm guessing it's a trade-off for speed?
And I see you got the refresh fixed too to work like in 3.8.

However, this bug in my last post (3 posts up) remains.

Anyway, as always, many thanks...

Wittfella · 2010-12-27 09:54:11

Hey, cheers! The site only went up this morning. I wanted to let Brad know first to change the PKGBUILD and make sure everything worked ok.

Yeah the refresh thing should be fixed. It also updates the file size after a custom action, such as tar'ing etc.

Sadly qtfm still segfaults when right-clicking on a .desktop file.

Pete

Edit: I see I forgot to post this when I first saw it. Image files don't segfault for me. It appeared with 3.8. No messages, just 'Segmentation fault' when run from a terminal. XFCE4.

Cannot confirm this...

This came out before, check your custom actions if you have two of them which have the same name for *.desktop files.

P.S. So, Wittfella... did I assume correctly that reordering is a trade-off for speed?

I only had one custom action for desktop files, but I did have the same action in a 'catchall' action. Here's my custom actions:

%00=gz, Extract here, package-x-generic, tar xf %f
%01=*, Compress, filesave, tar czf %n.tar.gz %f
%02="htm,html,desktop", Edit, accessories-text-editor, scite %f
%03=*, Edit, accessories-test-editor, scite %f
%04=*, Chmod 640, , chmod 640 %f

htm and html files don't cause a segfault, only desktop so I assumed it was something special with desktop files.

Anyway, if I remove desktop from that line let the next line catch it I don't get the segfault. I guess line 3 is redundant but it only started breaking recently...

Pete

Wittfella · 2010-12-27 12:34:44

Yep, the two custom action problem appeared recently when I added the shortcut editor.

@karabaja4 - yep, there was a small delay (20ms) when going into a new folder to give it some time to read the filesystem and then display it properly. I removed the 20ms delay. So its a tradeoff, you can have it faster but it may not be 100% ready. 20ms is not a lot of time, I'm suprised it is noticable. Maybe I'll try 10ms.

anonymous_user · 2010-12-27 15:53:04

Very nice job with the website Wittfella. Simple and clean just like qtfm.

karabaja4 · 2010-12-27 17:08:37

Another segfault when switching between folders in tree, details view... I have no idea why though and cannot reproduce

EDIT: And another one when entering folder "too fast" (clicking too fast?) Seems very random and only when I rush inside a folder. You should be able to reproduce it like described in post #426.
Also, I'm sure these didn't happen before and including version 3.8.

Hey, I made a video of the bug if you weren't able to reproduce it - in the video key E is binded to extract tar.gz and key D is binded to delete without confirmation: download here

I have a problem with the way that icons are displayed in the toolbars, they are at times way oversized, It more then likely is the icon themes I am using so if someone could post a link to an icon set that they use that works fine I would appreciate it. My main icon theme is ClearlooksOSX. thnks

anonymous_user · 2010-12-28 16:19:33

I've used Gnome, Gnome-Colors, and Elementary icons with no problems.

anonymous_user · 2010-12-29 06:07:13

Hey Wittfella is there anyway to fix this issue:

If I try opening multiple files, only the one which I right-click on will actually open. If I open multiple video files, only one will be in GNOME-MPlayer's playlist. If they're text files, only one will be opened in Geany.

Also a feature request: show the dates/sizes of the files when replacing.

karabaja4 · 2010-12-29 11:16:21

Another bug: integrated delete function sometimes refuses to delete all the folders, usually it deletes most of selected files and leaves one or two empty folders. Trying to delete this folder again fails and message 'Could not delete all items..' is shown.

EDIT: more info: this usually happens with 'src' folders of some source tarballs, which in depth are very large.

Bug report: It seems QTFM stops responding if you right click the empty area in the bookmarks while no choice is made and pick properties.
On another note, it goes unresponsive mode while trying to calculate if you do that on an HDD [Again, from the bookmarks place].

Freaky feature; It deletes stuff permanently without warning. No option for confirmation was found.

Annoyance; You can't right click a file to define what should it be open with, you have to go to the Edit menu.

Segaja · 2011-01-02 15:15:06

Hi,

first of all thanks for the greate file manager

I have a feature request:
I have an eight button mouse and I would like to use the left down button to move back up the folder hierarchy in qtfm.

CHANGELOG wrote:

4.1 4-January-2011
- modified folder copy/paste, will now merge contents with existing folder.
- modified copy/paste/replace dialog, will now ask for conformation for each existing file.
- fixed bug with 'back' command after deleting a folder.

@anonymous - the open multiple file problem is xdg-open, I don't think it does it. I played around with xdg-open on the command line and I could not get it to open multiple files. Maybe I just don't know the correct syntax. If you know how to do it give me a shout.

@karabaja4 - I haven't had any problems with deleting anything, if you can reproduce it let me know. This problem existed a long time ago and it was to do with symlinks. It didn't like deleting symlinks if the target was already deleted, but that was fixed a while back.

@bug - Are you sure its not responding, you might just have to leave it a bit longer. Sometimes it takes a while to get the properties, especially on a large directory, like /usr or the whole drive. If you do 'Properties' in the bookmark list with no selection, it defaults to the current folder ie. what is in the address bar at the time.

'Delete' deletes stuff That is intended. I hate it when I get asked to confirm every delete. It you want a bit more safety you can use a custom action to make a 'Trash' option and assign it to the delete key if you want.

The 'Edit filetype' was in the context menu a long time ago if I recall, but it turns out to be a waste because you use it a lot initially but then once you have your default apps set you hardly ever use it again, so it just takes up needless space. You can also set a keyboard shortcut for quicker access.

@Segaja - the 'Back' action is using the system defined back command, so you might have to bind you mouse button somehow. This came up before but I cant remember exactly how to do it. Hopefully someone else can chime in and help you out.

Cheers,
Wittfella

Hey Wittfella, thanks for the update.

Unfortunately, in 4.1 this is still present (check the video):

karabaja4 wrote:

This also happens when creating a new (empty) folder. As for the delete stuff, I'll need some time to figure out how to reproduce it correcly.

P.S. Wittfella, check your email please
P.P.S. Edited the video link, it was wrong, sorry.

Well you are correct; however, I found this workaround:

#!/bin/bash
for i in "$@"
do
    xdg-open "$i" &
done

Hm, has anyone an idea how i can do that? It works fine in Firefox. I thought they would use the same keybindings.

anonymous_user · 2011-01-04 21:48:43

@Segaja - I have not tried this myself but it should work:

https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=108607

It works by binding your mouse buttons to Alt+Left and Alt+Right.

Segaja · 2011-01-05 08:01:31

I tried that, but the problem is it doesn't work.
It think that is because Alt + Left and Alt + Right don't work as wanted in qtfm either...

Wittfella · 2011-01-05 10:45:36

qtfm uses Alt+Left and Backspace by default, but you can change it to whatever you like in the shortcuts editor. Do the xbindkeys thing above with whatever shortcut you have it set to in qtfm, it should work.
