If you have extras-devel repository enabled, just download it through one of the app managers.

@nikhilsyangbo
if you don't know where is the download link then this is not for you, its in extras-devel so it's not ready for normal users to try it out yet

Bugs (running latest thumb CSSU):
1. Installed it, went to options, tried to change default start location (from "MyDocs") and it didn`t work - clicking the button does nothing;
2. Enabled root access, closed program and tried to restart it - it doesn`t start anymore (where is config file located?);
3. Missing icon on clipboard button (as reported by Mentalist Traceur).

This is actually not a bug, but it works in a kinda non-obvious way - you need to go to another directory, then go to options and click that button. It'll become set to whatever directory you're currently in.

A "Click to make current directory your start location" label would probably greatly help user understanding of how it works.

Thanks Mentalist, I didn`t think of that and it definitely should be changed .

As per "2": config file is located at /home/user/.config/hamsterfiler and deleting it fixed (as expected) starting problem. BUT selecting "Run as root" make it non "startable" again.

Good point, I'll add an option for that.

Nope, you would have to change the system icon theme. Later -- maybe, but IMO one layer of theming is enough, so I don't give it a high priority.

I don't recall this happening to me, but I'll check the related code.

I got into the hang of it pretty quickly (click a second time to reselect (and hold), or select all but the last desired file, and then click and hold that one).

Perhaps it would be better to toggle the selection OFF on a file in multiselect after the finger has lifted /off/ the file instead of after it has touched it? (But still keep toggling the selection ON on a file happening when touch first happens, since if you made that toggle after a finger lifts off, you'd force double-clicking just to get to the long press context menu while in multi-select.)
I left it this way (temporarily), because I was worried that it might need messing with some low-level Qt stuff and preferred to work on other things instead. The same goes for the inability to drag-select more items than shown on the screen (no automatic scrolling).

Oh, looks like it's from Gnumeric. I'll search for a possible replacement, this time making sure that it's from one of the standard packages or bundle some icons if I can't find anything reasonable.

Does it happen to everyone else? I have a non-standard setup with user accounts, so it's possible that if I did something wrong, it could still work for me.

Does running "hamsterfiler" from the terminal result in a message about insufficient permissions (or anything interesting at all)?

By the way, it's just a simple ini file, so you can edit it manually and only remove the line containing "RunAsRoot=true".

GREAT APP.
The grid view is magnifique.

But I think you should move the delete option on the pop-up menu when you click&hold on one file.
You may accidently delete a file.

no need to apologize
i use Midnight Commander as my file manager (yeap, i'm a *nix terminal admin / user ) and only exceptionally use File Manager (the default).
think i'm going to do a lot more things as user with Hamster Filer
will keep using mc for root task, however

PS: how many pizzas can you eat before getting sick ?!?
