Re: [N900] File manager only sees MyDocs. Is there a better file manager?
 

DCIM needs to be there for the device to be recognized as camera (for photo import to PC etc.). See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Design_...ra_File_system. (Actually N900 does not follow other rules, but that still works.)

Re: [N900] File manager only sees MyDocs. Is there a better file manager?
 

None of the Symbian devices had that problem, and apps recognize them fine. Sure you know what you're talking about?

Re: [N900] File manager only sees MyDocs. Is there a better file manager?
 

Could it be that under Symbian the "DCIM" is abstracted?

Re: [N900] File manager only sees MyDocs. Is there a better file manager?
 

I don't mind my device having "DCIM" as the folder name for my camera pictures. I just don't like the File Manager "abstracting" everything by changing the folder names. At the very least, I want to be able to switch to "advanced" mode and see everything the "right" way.

I must admit that the file:// trick is very clever, though...

Here is emelfm2.
The adventurous can test and report.

Re: [N900] File manager only sees MyDocs. Is there a better file manager?
 

I've added emelfm2 to my Fremantle repository. N900 users can install it by adding my repo to your list.

Just a warning, though. My repository is generally for not-in-Fremantle-repos packages. Be careful what you install from there!

Catalogue Name: Qole
Web address: http://qole.org/repository
Distribution: maemo

Is this the same build that we run in Diablo? I thought a porting process was necessary to run a Diablo app under Fremantle. Does it work in Fremantle same as it does in Maemo 4?

Re: [N900] File manager only sees MyDocs. Is there a better file manager?
 

Ok, I bit the bullet and installed it.

Meh.

I'd say it's a fail.

Re: [N900] File manager only sees MyDocs. Is there a better file manager?
 

Consider the screenshot from my n810 in comparison: the new widgets from maemo 5 are too big and ugly.
I think that my first project when I get the device will be to run binaries with old widgets from maemo 4 by the use of some kind of sandbox environment (ld_preload? chroot?).
I can't understand why loads of software ported to maemo 4 are to be thrown away - it's stupid.

EDIT if you dig into emelfm2 configuration, you'll find several places where you can select menu icon and text width. I bet that playing with these controls you can obtain an usable view.

Re: [N900] File manager only sees MyDocs. Is there a better file manager?
 

All we need is emelfm2 looking exactly as it does on the N810...perhaps a bit more polished as was said before, but I dont find it completely necessary to make it look all "fremantley" lol It will be a must have for me so I can change icons, startup images/sounds/whatever and edit .desktop files to change the displayed names of apps...sometime I just dont care for what an app is named. Such as Pidgin...I find it silly and since I only use Yahoo IM I rename it "Yahoo Messenger"
