Re: Ranger, a textbased filemanager

Hey , Is there some kind of bug , ranger has developed due to python 3.2 update. I am not able to open files. It gives error bad file descriptor. and I have to use :open_with  again and again.

[EDIT] Sorry , it is already reported above. I think I should use python2 version. Thanks.

Re: Ranger, a textbased filemanager

I'm getting an [Errno 9] whenever I'm trying to open movie files.

Re: Ranger, a textbased filemanager

The problem with mplayer + python3.2 should be fixed now. (in ranger-git at least.)

Re: Ranger, a textbased filemanager

I don't know whether this has been discussed before but how can i replace open with mplayer to open with vlc by default. I have both the pkgs installed but use mplayer only as fallback.

hmm... try ranger --copy-config=apps and have a look at ~/.config/ranger/apps.py

Thanks. That helped. I reordered to have vlc (specifically nvlc) before mplayer in line 95 of ~/.config/ranger/apps.py . Thanks for this wonderful file manager. Very useful when X11 is broken.

return self.either(c, 'vlc', 'mplayer', 'smplayer', 'totem')

Mostly because you can't catch it fast enough.

@hut, have you had the time to look into https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php … 63#p872563 https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php … 49#p874949 ? It's still there. I use ranger with python2.

Re: Ranger, a textbased filemanager

I'm getting a "failed to run" for all applications that have the d flag for running detached. Did I miss some changes for the apps.py? I'm using ranger 1.4.1-2

running with python2 won't work at all (no module named ranger)

Re: Ranger, a textbased filemanager

You forgot to update your apps.py! Make sure the first line is "import ranger". Looks like your whole apps.py needs to be updated, maybe you should run something like

vimdiff ~/.config/ranger/apps.py /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/ranger/defaults/apps.py

(adjust your python version)

Re: Ranger, a textbased filemanager

Oh trivial mistake concerning python2. All the ranger stuff was just in /python3.2. So now it works fine with python2, but the problem with the detached application in python3.2 still persists. I compared the two apps.py, but that didn't help.

It is fixed in ranger-git but not yet in "ranger".
I'll make a new version, stay tuned

@hut, have you had the time to look into https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php … 63#p872563 https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php … 49#p874949 ? It's still there. I use ranger with python2.

Yeah but I didn't come to a solution yet..

Re: Ranger, a textbased filemanager

Thanks for this very fine file manager!

Here's a tiny patch for apps.py ('flags='d'' is set again further down for evince; evince also supports djvu (and ps/ps.gz, too)):

when running 'source ranger ranger', I get 'bash: $'\177:': command not found'. I'm not entirely sure that this is caused by something in ranger, but perhaps it is?

I have no idea about the bug though... makes no sense to me
Check the readme for an alternative to "source ranger ranger"

Re: Ranger, a textbased filemanager

Loving this file manager! Thanks for the excellent work hut!

Added two useful commands for compressing/extracting archives to the Ranger wiki. Don't know if it is the best place to put it but feel free to add them to the default commands if you find it appropriate!

Re: Ranger, a textbased filemanager

Compare that with my setup:

Want to extract 4 archives. yy all of them, go to the destination directory and type 'px' which in turn calls ":extract_here" thus extracting all archives to that directory.

Or marking some files in a directory and typing 'pc' to write ':compress ' to the console and allowing automatic filename suggestion.

Really interesting!

Can you share this trick?

Re: Ranger, a textbased filemanager

As I said I added it to the wiki

https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ra … l_commands

EDIT: Found a bug but am afraid to submit a patch lest I break something. To my understanding, python handles unicode/utf8 strings internally. Why did you find the need to create ranger/ext/widestring? Because it seems to be reporting wrong string sizes when non-ascii characters appear on the string.

Problem: When I navigate to ~/University/2-2/Lógica de Programação/ and have 3 tabs open, their numbers get pushed away of the bar and disappear.

Solution: Tried replacing uwid to len in line 141 and everything works as expected and the tab numbers are back. Thought of submitting a patch to replace all uwid by len and remove the widestring file but I guess you should have solid reason to write it in the first place.

Well the thing is: width is something else than length. Afaik len() counts the number of characters in python3 and the number of bytes in python2. What I really need though is the width of the string, with wide chars (kanji etc) taken into consideration, which is the function of uwid(). This seems to work with python3.1 (on my machine) but fails with python3.2 for some reason
