File compression finally working, at least from my end. libtar and gzip required as dependencies.

May i suggest to use libarchive to support a wide range of compressed formats w/o having to write lot of code

@TheLemonMan.
Seem interesting. I will look into this. Thanks

I've got 3 issues, one of which might be a request.
1. I'm not able to follow symbolic dir-links, it segfaults.
2. After nffm crashes or I shut it down, the colors in that terminal are changed (1;32 , 1;33 , 1;34 , 1;35 , 1;36 , 1;37)
3. When I try to use the 'z'-command on a file and enter the archive name I get "Nothing to do, Sorry". (It would also be nice to be able to archive directories)

I hope those are fixable, I'm monitoring this project

Thanks for notify. I will check this out.

I am aware of the problem as posted in message #20. There seem to be issues between initscreen() and endwin(). I read on internet that there seem to be no direct mechanism to restore the colors as ncurses does not remember the initial colors. I find that weird. I am looking for work arounds...

That is normal behavior. nffm expects you to have marked a file or more with 'm'. My rationale is that normally one would want to zip more than one file. I guess I could implement a zip one file. Yes directories will be implemented eventually.

So I guess it is all fixable.

Ok found solution. I commited the changes in Git. Problem fixed.

Doomcide · 2012-07-31 22:22:33

First of all, thanks for the quick answer. The way files are zipped in nffm definately makes sense, I was a little dumb there . But I can't confirm the fix for the color issue, it still behaves the same for me.

marxav · 2012-08-01 21:06:10

@ doomcide, your welcome.
Not so dumb, it is not that obvious at first I guess.
About the colors, well that sucks then. It is "almost" working from my side. Actually only one color is troublesome. I have no idea why. Although it won't help, pls check the color.conf file. There are typos in the original file. 2 colons must be replaced by semi-colons. Fixed in git, but that does not solve the color reset problem.

On the plus side, moving files is now possible. Check the README. Files must be marked... . And of course a destination folder must be chosen.

Just want to let you know I'm still following this project Got too much other things going on atm to test, but I will once!

marxav · 2012-08-03 22:18:48

Anyone curious, I asked a question here http://cboard.cprogramming.com/linux-pr … ndwin.html about issues when restoring terminal colors on endwin(). If anyone can figure this out, feel free to let me know.

marxav · 2012-08-09 20:22:01

I managed to implement color listing as per $LS_COLORS.
And there shall be no more messing up of terminal colors on exit.

Doomcide · 2012-08-09 20:22:14

The color-problem is fixed with the newest git commit.

It is almost as if you were watching me commit

Nah, I just really like seeing a project advance and playing around with the changes made; also: I had a lot of free time (holidays)

I feel rusty and needed some ways to remember WTH the keys are. So there is now some help with the ? key available.
