You can always write short shell scripts, I presume. Write a file with something like this

#!/bin/sh
/usr/bin/whateverthefilemanagerprogramiscalled /my/directory

put it in some directory that's in your path (/usr/bin, for example). Make it executable (chmod 755 <nomefile>), then it should be possible to add a shortcut to on the screen.

(disclaimer: I (still) do not own a n900)

Widgets seem to be like applications running on the desktop screens, however, if you are on desktop 1 of 4, are widgets placed on desktops 2-4 running? Of course I expect a music player widget to be working, but others may not need to. Will these also keep running when you are using a full-blown application and slow down the performance?

Hi,
sorry for the resume of this very old post, but i don't found an answer in any other part of the forum.

I try to use:
Code:
osso_rpc_run(osso_context, "com.nokia.osso_filemanager",
"/com/nokia/osso_filemanager", "com.nokia.osso_filemanager",
"open_folder", osso_retval,  DBUS_TYPE_STRING, (char*)path,
DBUS_TYPE_INVALID)
but i don't understand the exact mode of open a folder

Is possible an example of this script whit the path "/home/user/MyDocs" ?

Thank you so much

I assume that a widget is just a shortcut to an executable and the desktop is a folder somewhere.



Is that like "a mans' man"?
sometimes I open my mouth and nothing comes out, sometimes stuff falls out and never stops, once in a while my mouths mouth opens and the world is confused :P
