Re: Ranger, a textbased filemanager

The first file does indeed get copied. It fails when trying to chmod(), and then quits the operation.

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/ranger", line 54, in <module>
    main()
  File "/usr/share/ranger/ranger/__main__.py", line 123, in main
    my_fm.loop()
  File "/usr/share/ranger/ranger/core/fm.py", line 133, in loop
    loader.work()
  File "/usr/share/ranger/ranger/fsobject/loader.py", line 123, in work
    self.fm.notify(err)
  File "/usr/share/ranger/ranger/fsobject/loader.py", line 118, in work
    next(item.load_generator)
  File "/usr/share/ranger/ranger/core/actions.py", line 576, in generate
    overwrite=overwrite):
  File "/usr/share/ranger/ranger/ext/shutil_generatorized.py", line 130, in copy2
    copystat(src, dst)
  File "/usr/share/ranger/ranger/ext/shutil_generatorized.py", line 95, in copystat
    os.chmod(dst, mode)
OSError: [Errno 1] Operation not permitted: '/media/KINGSTON/DDDSKIP0STAR4.m64'

Which makes sense since FAT32 doesn't support ext* permissons. But cp doesn't have this issue, and instead drops the permissions.

Re: Ranger, a textbased filemanager

Heh. I guess that error can be silently ignored. Thanks for reporting.

EDIT:
I think I fixed it, can you confirm it please?

EDIT2:
Confirmed.

Re: Ranger, a textbased filemanager

Simply awesome!
Been running ranger for a few days now and loving it. At first I thought: "Hmm, nice. Looks like a nice contender to vifm." Now I think: "Hmm, nice. Vifm: looks like a nice contender to ranger." --- if you get my drift.
Everything's just so usable, with hardly any setup fiddeling. Not even missing the double panes any more. Tabs can handle that quite nicely.

However, I have one question:

I still have to use openoffice for compatibility reasons, but am running a dark GTK theme. Usually I open office documents with:

env GTK2_RC_FILES=/usr/share/themes/Clearlooks/gtk-2.0/gtkrc soffice -writer

to get a light theme for that app.

Now, I put these lines into apps.py.

...
if f.extension in ('odt', 'doc'):
return self.app_soffice(c)

...

@depends_on('soffice')
def app_soffice(self,c):
return tup("env GTK2_RC_FILES=/usr/share/themes/Clearlooks/gtk-2.0/gtkrc soffice -writer", *c)

but I only get an error message, saying: "Failed to open blah-blah-blah "
When I leave out the "env GTK2_RC_FILES... " stuff, it works fine. But due to openoffice's inability to handle dark themes, it's rather useless. Is there a way to get it to work?
Could well be I'm doing something wrong as I have no clue about python.

Thanks in advance. Oh, and thanks a bunch for this great app, hut!

Re: Ranger, a textbased filemanager

Each argument has to be a single string in the tuple.
So, to run "soffice -writer" you'd have to write tup("soffice", "-writer", *c)
Note the ", " in between.
Apply this to your command, and you get:
return tup("env", "GTK2_RC_FILES=/usr/share/themes/Clearlooks/gtk-2.0/gtkrc", "soffice", "-writer", *c)

If this doesn't work, try:
os.environ["GTK2_RC_FILES"] = "/usr/share/themes/Clearlooks/gtk-2.0/gtkrc"
return tup("soffice", "-writer", *c)


Edit:
Oh, and you should add this before the return-line:
c.flags += 'd'
so the process will run detached and ranger is not locked out.

Re: Ranger, a textbased filemanager

small bug, when renaming files with a space in the name, the complete name gets appended. example:

Re: Ranger, a textbased filemanager

Just wanted to say that I installed ranger under the latest kdemod. Used for a little then forgot about it for a few days. Once opened system monitor and found 100% load on cpu1, everything coming from ranger. Promptly uninstalled, everything back to normal. Not sure what the cause was, I did multiple log outs and probably a reboot during those two days.

It would be great if you could try to reproduce that behaviour and tell me how it happened.

Re: Ranger, a textbased filemanager

i have a feeling that ranger is doing a bit much (unneeded) i/o when walking the file tree. i have a NAS for instance for which i disable file/dir sizes and preview column in ranger, then when i enter a directory with about 10 subdirectories (all containing many more subdirs), it takes about 3-4 seconds to load the initial view (lots of rattling in the background). when i compare this with pcmanfm, the latter takes about 1 second, producing little audible sound. the produced output on screen for both programs is comparable, so perhaps ranger is indexing information that isn't actually needed for display?

small other thing: not sure what happened, but this is when i switched tab from one remote location to another:

  File "/usr/bin/ranger", line 54, in <module>
    main()
  File "/usr/share/ranger/ranger/__main__.py", line 123, in main
    my_fm.loop()

    ui.redraw()

  File "/usr/share/ranger/ranger/fsobject/directory.py", line 406, in __len__
    return len(self.files)
TypeError: object of type 'NoneType' has no len()

(happened only once so far)

Yesh, ranger is doing unnecessary IO sometimes. I'll start to optimize things after I'm done with the key parser and a few other things.

I'm aware of that problem. Its most likely a flaw in my garbage collection method, gonna fix that soon

Re: Ranger, a textbased filemanager

Thanks very much for your reply, hut.

I had tried this one before, but it doesn't work:

hut wrote:

return tup("env", "GTK2_RC_FILES=/usr/share/themes/Clearlooks/gtk-2.0/gtkrc", "soffice", "-writer", *c)

This one however works swell:

hut wrote:

os.environ["GTK2_RC_FILES"] = "/usr/share/themes/Clearlooks/gtk-2.0/gtkrc"
return tup("soffice", "-writer", *c)

Thanks very much!!!

Now it's just PERFECT.

Cheers

Re: Ranger, a textbased filemanager

My incredulity here for how nicely vifm and mc uninstalled a few days back.
(my 'day one' with Ranger I recall)
With great respect to them of course.
Ranger just suits me. And learning/applying the tabs feature will be great fun!

Re: Ranger, a textbased filemanager

Thanks.

And guys, I'm working on that key parser so I want to make it clear that upcoming changes will make old key configuration files incompatible.
This is the prototype for the new keyboard configuration file:
http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/ranger … y?h=newkey

Though it's not final yet. Subscribe to the mailing list, throw in suggestions.

The first thing is, should I change the notation for Alt keys from <A-key> to <M-key>?
Edit: Nevermind, vim uses <A-key>, so I'll stick with that

Re: Ranger, a textbased filemanager

Hi, sometimes 2 or 3 times a day I do a makepkg in my ranger-git folder. Today I messed something up after the make.
There seemed to be lots of changes when RANGER was building.
Found it interesting as usual. Also, interested in getting RANGER running again so puzzling on what I did, or what I can do. :)
Took a look at the new configuration file and the key command. great!

Re: Ranger, a textbased filemanager

SOLVED: I did redownload the AUR files though my solution was probably just deleting the folders in the ranger-git build folder and starting fresh. GREAT!

EDIT: hehehe, there's a great experience/reminder to stay non-assuming for me again.  Me thinking it was my resolving though it was you. incredibly good to never assume, generally.

Re: Ranger, a textbased filemanager

Again? Argh, sorry. I never realize that because I have the file ranger/ext/direction.pyc which avoids the error but only for me, not for you.

Update again please.

Re: Ranger, a textbased filemanager

Interested to know if typing 's' and getting a term to open in the same folder RANGER was in has changed.

I use urxvtc and zsh and can imaging that I may have some issue with my dotfiles quite possibly.
As of the latest version it's kinda cool as it opens up a regular prompt right at the bottom of the screen
instead of opening up a term instance in place of the running RANGER, i think.

So, the thing is from this prompt at the bottom of the screen I can't do CTRL-R to get the zsh backwards history search.
Again, um, certainly my system and moreso, me, that's the cause, and I do recall hearing of new commands coming up.
Read the brilliant help files though didn't see any new commands. They are the same I think. That's: '!' or 's'.

Re: Ranger, a textbased filemanager

Hi, thanks for the feedback. I'm experimenting a bit:
1. I changed the key for opening a shell from "s" to "S"
2. "s" now does the same as "!": running one shell command
3. the prompt for the "!" and "s" key has changed to a shell-like prompt to make it obvious that you're about to use a shell command

Some people have already been complaining =P. I might change it back to the way it was, or at least change the prompt to "$" to not confuse the user into thinking that an actual shell instance has been started.

And of course the documentation has to be updated >_< thanks

Re: Ranger, a textbased filemanager

It just ALL so great 'hut' ... appreciate the clarification. Myself, don't mind what key's what. Whatever you and the gurus who comment wish will
be perfect. You, and the helpful bunch have filled a HUGE gap in productivity, understanding and plain enjoyment. um, as mentioned previously.
I am absolutely looking forward to learning more about RANGER and cli generally. [no reply need to this late night 'woohoo', of course]

Re: Ranger, a textbased filemanager

Hi.

I do not know if it's the right time to ask for some new feature in your development process. But could you add a way to cycle through folders and files list.

Let me explain, for example if you have a list of files, you can only go down when you are at the top of the list with j or the direction pad. But it would be nice to go directly at the bottom by using k or up on the direction pad when you are at the top of the list. I do not know if it is a lot of work otherwise I will just use shift+g

Thanks

Re: Ranger, a textbased filemanager

litemotiv I already know that you can go at the bottom with shift+g

But when you enter a folder with a list of files it is quite convenient to just press 'up' or 'k' and cycle to the bottom of the list, like it is already done in zsh.

oh is that what you mean, sorry i didn't catch that. i would personally not really like that feature, sometimes i mistype j/k when i enter a folder and then i would end up on the bottom of the list. bit too confusing for me..
