qtFM - Small, fast, light Qt filemanager

Maybe to add an option for "View as icons" (larger images for folders and files) in the right pane? And also an option to move bookmarks up and down?

Cheers!

noticed that the lost+found folder can be opened and on right click on this folder New File / New folder option enabled. Trying to create a folder hangs the qtfm. It will be nice to hide the lost+found folder and disable the New file/folder option in directories where the user has no rw access.

This is not a must but will be handy to auto mount the external devices using udisks in the background.

@Wittfella, can you please upload somewhere last 1.4 version before 1.5 came out (that is, before these copy/paste changes). That one is the last that works as expected for me regarding file copy...

Thanks!

Wittfella · 2010-07-04 02:10:33

1.4 package is still there, you can grab it here

www.wittfella.com/qtfm-1.4.tar.gz

Does the copy/paste work at all? Are you doing more than one copy/paste at a time? ie. you copy a large file, and while that is still going on you copy another file.

Can anyone else confirm the problem.

One more question. Is "delete" supposed to move the chosen file(s) to some trash folder or is it a permanent (shift+deleteish) delete?

wesbluemarine · 2010-07-04 14:24:46

very nice!

but at the moment it's a bit slow at startup(but faster than nautilus or dolphin )

I thought about this type of view (right pane): http://linuxmint.com/software/pictures/ … thunar.png

@wesbluemarine: Yeah, maybe a *little* slower than Thunar (warm start), but still, it's fast and lite!

I'm getting used to this Manager. It's nice! But the only thing missing is that right-click properties or something, which shows how many storage that folder and all the folders in it occupy. Like this: http://i46.tinypic.com/296ep6s.jpg
Also, it'd be cool to have a "Open with..." dialog so you can run open the file with different apps than the default one.

Just wanted to say I love the FM, keep up the good work

Got this when I was cut/pasting a pdf file:

It crashed afterwards.
Any ideas?

Hello all,

I have been working on some more stuff, nearly ready. I have added an 'icon' view as well as a 'custom actions' system where you can define you own menu items etc. With this you can do the 'Open with' stuff, add 'Extract here' or 'Compress' commands for your favourite gz,bz,xv,rar or create your own 'Trash' delete rather than permanent delete etc.

I think I have also found the problem with copy/paste, like above. I found that it doesn't like doing the MessageBox in a seperate thread, so if the paste fails for some reason, maybe a read-only directory for example, it tries to show the "failed" message box and thats when you get those pixmap errors above. So I think I have sorted that now also.

I haven't done the folder properties thing yet, next thing on the list.

Will upload shortly. Cheers Wittfella

archman-cro · 2010-07-07 07:58:27

Wow, amazing, Wittfella. Thunar, exo and hal are deleted soon!

karabaja4 · 2010-07-07 14:48:54

Wow, great work.

BTW, maybe this would be helpful, this is the line I get when I try to paste anything:

<unknown>: Fatal IO error 11 (Resource temporarily unavailable) on X server :0.0.

Plus, qtfm freezes unrecoverably...

Wittfella · 2010-07-07 15:07:22

Ok, give 1.6 a crack!

1.6    7-July-2010
- added 'custom actions' system for user defined actions and menu items.
- added thumbnails of jpg/png etc in icon view.
- added 'icon view' mode.
- added cache for theme and mime icons, faster loading.
- fixed bug causing freeze/crash if copy/paste failed.

archman-cro · 2010-07-07 15:22:32

Testing it. I experience a big slowdown when entering a folder with thumbnails. Do you experience the same? No matter how many times I enter that folder, it loads all thumbs all over again. Any way to turn off the thumbnails in the "icon view"?
Btw, awesome work!

karabaja4 · 2010-07-07 15:23:02

Nope, same thing on copy/paste. Error looks like it has something to do with X server. I use xorg-server 1.8.1.902 from [testing]...

archman-cro · 2010-07-07 15:25:01

Why not using xorg-server 1.8.1.902-1 from Extra?

Wittfella · 2010-07-07 15:28:37

Hey, yeah loading lots (or large size) thumbs is slow, but it caches them for that session though. So if you load them and then click away, if you come back to that folder it should be nearly instant.

archman-cro · 2010-07-07 15:32:12

@Wittfella:Unfortunately it's not. Same load all over again. The *.cache files have some size, tho. Dunno what's happening...

Wittfella · 2010-07-07 15:36:49

No thumbs are only that session, not stored on disc. If you close qtfm and restart thumbs are loaded again. The cache files are the theme and filetype icons.

archman-cro · 2010-07-07 15:40:22

Any way to substitute thumbs with normal file icons in the "icon view", maybe?

Wittfella · 2010-07-07 15:49:21

I'll have to work on it more and try to optimize it, it was kinda a last minute addition and I got excited I quickly made a 'nothumbs' version if you want.

www.wittfella.com/qtfm-1.6-nothumbs.tar.gz

archman-cro · 2010-07-07 15:50:25

Wow, awesome, thanks! Will test.
edit: Cool, edited the PKGBUILD, installed and running atm. Thank you.
