I only see 4.2-1 when I take a look at pacman -Si qtfm

You need to update your local package database with pacman -Sy

Segaja · 2011-01-16 10:49:59

I use packer (an AUR helper script which manages the normal repos and the aur) and do packer -Syu, but nothing happens. Here the output:

segatop ~ % packer -Syu
:: Synchronizing package databases...
 core is up to date
 extra is up to date
 community is up to date
:: Starting full system upgrade...
 there is nothing to do
:: Synchronizing aur database...
 aur                                        20  20 [######################] 100%
:: Starting full aur upgrade...
 local database is up to date

/edit:

and sudo pacman -Syu reveals no more updates.

Hmm...then I suppose your mirror is quite out-of-date, as the packages page has shown version 4.3 for almost a day now.

What is the output of "pacman -Si qtfm"? If it shows qtfm 4.2, consider changing your mirror and running sudo pacman -Syyu.

It is 4.2-1

Which mirror is fast, stable and up to date?

/edit: I know switched to ftp://ftp.hosteurope.de/mirror/ftp.arch … o/os/$arch

and I have 26 updates from the main repos (including qtfm)...

Sometimes when cutting/pasting files, qtfm closes. The output when qtfm closes is "Floating point exception".

Segaja · 2011-01-21 13:11:31

Hi,

it would be nice to be able to define the date pattern used.
At the moment it is MM/DD/YYYY.
I'm from germany and I don't like this pattern, because month comes before date.

Best regards

+1

At the very least there should be the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_8601 ISO 8601 standard (YYYY-MM-DD).

Thanks.

Couldn't this just be bound to system locale instead?

Then again, having the option to change it might not hurt either, I don't know which would be easier to implement.

Wittfella · 2011-01-22 02:17:58

Hey, it should be using your locale settings already. I'm in Australia and my dates show correctly for me as "dd/mm/yyyy". What about other programs, do they adhere to your locale default?

Mektub · 2011-01-22 03:42:23

Wittfella,

My bad, you are right !

Even though I am using LOCALE=pt_PT.UTF-8, I had LC_NUMERIC="en_US.UTF-8", and that made the mess.

Sorry.

I have the same problem reported by anonymous_user ^^^ with qtfm 4.3-1. If I try to copy and paste more than one file at a time it nearly always crashes with a floating point exception.

If the files already exist in the destination they get deleted but the new files are not copied. Makes no difference whether I click 'yes to all' or 'yes' one at a time.

If the files don't already exist in the destination then they just don't get copied.

Now happens often enough I 've had to give up using qtfm for this and use Thunar instead.

anonymous_user · 2011-01-26 19:07:26

@shetland_breeder - You could just downgrade to 4.2. Its what I'm doing 'till it gets fixed.

Well of course. Won't hurt to add a bit more detail, though really we ought to be reporting this sort of thing as a bug.

Wittfella · 2011-01-27 03:22:24

Hey, sorry about that, I introduced a div 0 bug into the progress bar calculation.

I have been testing qtfm on some other distros like Ubuntu, Fedora and the like to make sure it works ok. The good news it mostly works fine, the only problems I found are with the 'Edit filetype' stuff. Ubuntu doesn;t seem to like the xdg-mime stuff, and both kde and gnome store the settings and icons in different places etc.

Anyway I was hoping to fix some of that stuff before I bumped the version, but I have fixed the div 0 bug in 4.3 and uploaded it again. You can grab the source or maybe Brad can repackage 4.3-2 in the interim.

Cheers,
Witty

That one. (just uploaded 4.3-2, should hit the mirrors in 10-20 minutes)

shetland_breeder · 2011-01-27 11:02:26

Thanks wittfella.

I know how you must feel.
It's a real pain how folk keep finding bugs when you're trying to do some long-term stuff.

I haven't gone through all 20 pages of this thread so sorry if I missed these questions:

When a hidden folder is selected and you switch back to hiding them, is that one .folder supposed to remain visible?

How does one set programs to open for various files? I understand the custom actions, but that requires setting for individual file endings, and requires a drop down menu selection by right clicking.

Are the properties for bookmarks supposed to work? I click properties for them and get nothing.

Overall I love the application, it's a great replacement for thunar, now that they messed it up for me with the Xfce4 update. Cheers and thanks ahead of time for answers.

Wittfella · 2011-01-31 02:25:54

Hey milso,

I haven't figured out the hidden folder thing yet.

There is an option to 'Edit filetype' on the menu where you select the default application to open files. It manages the xdg-mime settings in the background so it is system wide.

Properties on bookmarks should work fine, need some more details if its not working for you.

Cheers,
Wittfella

milso · 2011-01-31 06:39:19

Disregard the bookmark properties, stupidity on my part. I was wondering why these information windows were popping up after a little bit, that was it calculating the properties though obviously, I was just expecting a settings menu for the bookmark (icon, name, etc). Which would be a great idea I think. The edit file type works great. Thanks for the awesome file manager, I'll be enjoying it, cheers

karabaja4 · 2011-02-01 23:09:18

Hey Wittfella, thanks for the icons chooser, makes settings icons much easier.

Just reminding you about the bugs I emailed you about a while ago:

When moving custom actions around to change the order, selection doesn't follow (selection stays on the one that switched with the one we moved). Selection should switch to the one we just moved.

and

When you cut the file (it becomes gray) and move it wherever, then you create another file with the same in the old location, it (the new one) becomes gray. Moving, renaming, or whatever action is done to the file, coloring should be reset.

and a new one:

If I edit filetype on a file which has a space inside full path, for example:
edit filetype on:
/media/disks/Series/Star Trek - VOY/Season 6/stvs6ep12.avi
I get a window to choose a program for filetype "Trek".

I think that above one didn't happen before, not sure though.

Cheers!

How does the edit icon function work exactly? For me it brings up a window with a blank area, a cancel and save button, but nothing for selecting or changing the icon.
