NOTES:
- For edit files you need to install Leafpad or PyGTKEditor.
If there's another great text editor just tell and I'll add to the list.
- For tar.bz2 compression maybe you need bzip2 (not sure cause I have already installed it).

Your English is great mate, don't worry about it. Thanks for the app, I'll download it and get testing and feedback soon enough. If you could add text editor support for Nano I would appreciate it.

Thanks again

How is it possible to select multiple files at once?
Thanks for your great file manager!

@Switch_:
Nano is for x-term, right? I'll try...

@DaSilva:
I think I should add a shortcut for this, like CTRL+A

Wonderful application, just two ideas:
- Could you add support for the built-in Notes application?
- Why do you use a different icon theme (Humanity) as default? The application seems completely non integrated with the rest of the system. It's a good feature to be able to change the icon theme, but as a default it should use the same icons than the other applications.

Thanks.

Thanks for a great app!

It would be very nice if you could enable text editor support for vim and possibly emacs (or even better, if the user could customize the editor command himself, so that I could e.g. choose between "emacs" and "emacs -nw").

best regards

A few comments:

1. Add builtin Notes app to the list of editors
2. Add NANO (aka PICO) to the list of editors
3. Move up-folder button to the right of the current path display, so that one could click it with his thumb while holding the device vertically in his right hand.

I suggestion I mentioned in the other thread (I believe) is to the option to have additional info . In vertical mode to the right of and in portrait mode under the file name. This info could either be the date or the size.

In addition how about when typing having it "quick-filter" like the regular file manager. So you could type and it will only show the files that match what you type. Similar also to fapman when typing in the package list.

Last, why not steal a page from the firefox design?
* Have the top bar (up | home | location) be part of the scroll area of the file list, so when you scroll down, to goes up as well (like firefox's location bar) meaning you will be able to see more files on screen.
* Have the buttons on the right be 'invisible' unless you drag/scroll the windows to the left to show them. This can be achieved by having the button in the same scroll area as the file list and making the list the size of the screen so the buttons will be offscreen unless scroll-en to.

Great app! Thanks!

Re: [ANNOUNCE] FileBox - File manager with root access and more
 
for me the multi select is acting buggy, it seems to be only with images but i could be wrong, but with multi select activated, on entering a folder i find 10 or so files selected, i can replroduce it by just moving out of the folder and back in again, not always the same files or same amount of files.
compression seems to be working ok but i havent tested large files, will zip and rar come later?
anyway great update dude
