Also: is there a difference between File -> Close and File -> Quit? I thought maybe Close only closes one window/tab and Quit closes them all however they seem to function the same.

Close only closes qtfm while quit also quits the daemon. You have tooltips in the toolbar when you hover over the items in the menu.

karabaja s correct for the Close/Quit thing.

If you want double-clicking a file to use a custom action instead of the default xdg-open system you set the 'Text' of the custom action to 'Open'.

A 'refresh' should update the mimetype if you change the file like that, I'll check it out.

I know that.

Fixed the refreshing mimetypes and double-click custom action problems.

I'm getting a segfault when I rename a file (F2) and then right click on it. I'm using the latest beta.

Try rebuilding the beta, I had the exact same problem and it's gone in the newest beta.

I'm still getting the segfault. I uninstalled qtfm, deleted the folder ~/.config/qtfm, downloaded the beta from http://www.qtfm.org/qtfm.tar.gz, and re-installed. I'm running an up-to-date Arch64 / openbox system.

Wittfella · 2012-04-02 21:58:33

@GimmeeSpam - I'm sure I uploaded the fixed one, anyway I updated it again just now, try that one.

GimmeeSpam · 2012-04-03 02:17:07

Works now, no segfault when right clicking a renamed file.

Hey Wittfella, I moved some files into a folder but qtfm does not show them. I can see them from the terminal but clicking refresh does nothing:

karabaja4 · 2012-04-03 16:37:01

Just a thought, maybe it has something to do with that space in "Google Docs"...

Well after restarting qtfm, the files showed up fine. I just find it weird that it didn't show when I initially moved them.

I also changed the custom actions depending on if you use 'realMimeTypes' or not. ie. if you use 'realMimeTypes' the Filetype column in custom actions needs to be the mimetype like 'image/png'.

Does that mean if I use realMimeTypes, I can no longer bind custom action to a file extension? I have files that are not correctly identified by file -i so being able to have a custom action go by the file extension instead of mimetype is crucial. For example, I have a custom action to open mp3 and mkv files in VLC. If I enable realMimeTypes then my Open custom action fails and the files try to open with Firefox.

Well...that's kinda why they were initially done using the file suffix, because the mimetype system is kinda borked, for exactly that reason.

What mimetype are they showing up as? Maybe in realMimeType mode if it comes up as one of the generic ones like 'application/octet-stream' it then uses the suffix instead.

anonymous_user · 2012-04-03 22:18:12

Correct, the mimetype shows up as 'application/octet-stream'. Like I said my custom action only works with realMimesTypes disabled for some reason.

Wittfella · 2012-04-04 00:10:10

You could set a custom action for 'application/octet-stream' to VLC, that would catch most of them. It's nearly always media files that show up with the wrong mimetype.

karabaja4 · 2012-04-04 00:15:25

@Wittfella: do you have an idea as to why this might have happened?

I think it happens when the target folder is on a ntfs mounted drive. I have noticed that sometimes the inotify doesn't fire, but other times it does.

I just realized that using mimetypes for an Open custom action is redundant with "Edit Filetype". Anyways thanks for the idea.

Someone way back in this thread had problems with setting gtk theme (not icons) for qtfm. I did too on one of my machines but found a solution here; https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=99175

Adding

export GTK2_RC_FILES="$HOME/.gtkrc-2.0"

too .xinitrc fixed it. It should go before the actual session start. I got the clue from qtconfig not playing with it's gtk+ setting.

EDIT; It now responds to changes with lxappearance too! Forgot to mention that the problems were on openbox-session, no gnome/xfce/kde/lxde here. But gtk3 with a correct ini-file and a correct gtkrc-2.0 file as well.

By the way Wittfella; great job on qtfm! Thanks! You always give nice and good support! You're the best!

I may or may not have mentioned this before, but using qtfm 5.5 beta I cannot reorder my custom actions. When I try to drag and drop I get the slashed circle cursor.

Wittfella · 2012-05-21 02:26:48

Hey, I just tried it and it still works normally here...any else confirm problem with drag/drop reordering of custom actions.

I just upload with a few little tweaks.

anonymous_user · 2012-05-21 03:10:55

Using the new version did not help. Also I renamed my qtfm config folder and with a clean setup, I still cannot drag and drop the custom actions. Any ideas how to begin troubleshooting?

Edit: nevermind, I think I found the problem. When drag and dropping, I was holding the item too far to the right.

Edit 2: I am still having trouble drag and dropping. The horizontal line that supposed to appear, rarely appears.

I don't know if this is done on purpose but I noticed that you cannot use the right-click menu to close any background tabs. It will always close the active tab.

Wittfella · 2012-06-02 05:46:57

Changed the tab right-click behaviour.

Hey Wittfella!
Would this eminent patch you made for me a while ago still work?

//---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
bool viewsSortProxyModel::lessThan(const QModelIndex &left, const QModelIndex &right) const
{
    myModel* fsModel = dynamic_cast<myModel*>(sourceModel());

    if(left.column() == 3)          //date
    {
        if(fsModel->fileInfo(left).lastModified() > fsModel->fileInfo(right).lastModified()) return true;
        else return false;
    }

    if((fsModel->isDir(left) && !fsModel->isDir(right)))
        return sortOrder() == Qt::AscendingOrder;
    else if(!fsModel->isDir(left) && fsModel->isDir(right))
        return sortOrder() == Qt::DescendingOrder;

    if(left.column() == 1)          //size
    {
        if(fsModel->size(left) > fsModel->size(right)) return true;
        else return false;
    }

    return QSortFilterProxyModel::lessThan(left,right);
}

It's the weird sorting patch you so kindly put together for mixed date sorting of folders and files. If it's still applicable, where will it go?

EDIT; Oops! Sorry to bother you! It did work - great!
