I'll check that

I just noticed something annoying in the "Edit filetype" dialog:

I think the problem is that Qt Designer's icon only comes in 128px, however I was wondering if qtfm could just downsize the icon to prevent this.

Using the Elementary iconset, the label for a folder with the "emblem-downloads" icon ends up misaligned (in Icon mode). FWIW the icon does exist for size 24x24.

Small update -

- fixed the problem with large icons in 'Edit filetype' dropdown.
- fixed the different folder sorting between tree and list view.
- changed the address bar so it doesn't reset the text while typing if the path doesn't exist.

A few people have asked for this so I've been playing around with tabs. Middle-click on folders/bookmarks to open in a new tab. Middle-click tab to close. See what you think.

anonymous_user · 2011-06-09 12:22:46

Any reason you placed the tabs at the bottom rather than the top?

Wittfella · 2011-06-09 13:54:27

I thought it was ugly

tri1976 · 2011-06-14 02:38:50

For custom action, is there a way to show a command for all files and folders in a specific directory (similar to the $parent filetype, but also match files)?

anonymous_user · 2011-06-14 02:50:50

Would it be possible to access the Menu using the Alt key? For example, if I want to have the Menu bar hidden like in your screenshots but still use it, I first have to re-enable it, select the action, and then disable it again. Also it would make qtfm more keyboard friendly.

Firefox for example, hides the menubar in favor of its menu button but you can still access the Menu bar using the Alt+f,e,v,s,t,h keys. Once your select an action, click the mouse off the menu, or press Alt again, the menu hides automatically.

Wittfella · 2011-06-14 03:33:03

@tri976 - I'll have a look at that. Out of curiosity what type of action are you thinking of?

@anonymous - I think I looked at this before, putting shortcuts on the main menu items. The problem was the shortcuts won't activate when the menu is hidden anyway. I'll have another look at it. I just have shortcuts to the individual things in the menu I need, so I don't ever need to unhide it.

Onto a different topic, how about having a "breadcrumbs" style location bar?

I have a script (trash.sh) that delete (mv) things to a trash folder. I associate this script with everything (*, trash, user-trash, trash.sh %F). When I right-click on trash folder, I can empty it (trash, trash empty, user-trash, trash.sh --empty). Now, I'd like to have a custom action to right-click on files and folder in trash folder to restore them.

edit: if anyone interested, here is my trash.sh script http://pastebin.com/S4t1uBER

It would be nice if you can make the address clickable instead of another bar. For example, "/home/tri/qtfm/src", click on "tri" will go to "/home/tri". pcmanfm accomplishes this by doing ctrl+click, but it would be nice if one can just click

Wittfella · 2011-06-16 01:35:08

Can't say I'm a massive fan of breadcrumb navigation. Whenever I use Win7 these days I miss the up/back button approach.

Doesn't seem to be too many issues with tabs, maybe not many have played with it yet, or is it just a resounding 'meh...'. I think they are a bit of a 'meh' too, I don't really see what they provide over bookmarks but it was relatively cheap and didn't add much overhead so I don't care if they stay there.

There have been a few fixes now and I want to push v5.0 soon.

tri1976 · 2011-06-16 01:47:00

@Wittfella - any chance v5.0 will give me the ability to associate a custom action to everything in a specific folder (#733)? I have not played with the tab beta version yet, but can you open a tab from cli in the currently running instance of qtfm?

yep just playing with that now

Wittfella · 2011-06-16 02:41:00

@tri1976 - I just made that change so $Parent custom action applies to everything in folder if you want to try it.

it works...thanks

tri1976 · 2011-06-16 03:16:58

@Wittfella - Are you planning to add command or keyboard shortcut for opening tab or just middle click?

I got a segfault while copying a few sets of files. Heres a trace:

Wittfella · 2011-06-27 06:08:36

Yes I see those 'unregister timer' errors aswell. It seems to be some internal Qt thing, heaps of Qt apps are reporting the same thing. The bugtracker indicates it is fixed and may be in 4.7.4.

About the copy problem, can you reproduce it. Was it on the same or across filesystems.

anonymous_user · 2011-06-27 14:50:11

One of the copy operation was across filesystems and the other was on the same. I probably could reproduce it but not reliably.

bdjnk · 2011-07-06 04:28:24

Something I've noticed: For many versions now there have been slight problems with hidden folders being visible when they shouldn't be, like if one was selected when dot files were hidden, or one was backed out of or gone up from after hiding them. The weirdest bit is that when a hidden folder is selected after which dot files are hidden, not just that hidden folder remains visible but it keeps another hidden folder visible as well with no pattern I can decipher (other than the non selected one being first alphabetically). Yet when a hidden folder is backed out of or gone up from after hiding dot files, it's just that one folder that remains visible.

Wittfella · 2011-07-06 04:49:20

Yep that problem is known. It is a Qt thing. You can check the same behavior in the 'Open file' dialog in any Qt app such as QtCreator. There is a bug on the tracker about it which I posted in a long time ago. Not much activity on it though last time I looked, not sure if it will get fixed any time soon.
