The search field with its companion power search are your friends :) And don't forget Mr. Google! :) :)

Re: emelfm2
 

That little configure icon that debernardis image points to is your friend also.

You may first want to change panes > colors > directory to "white"

...and then change panes > custom font: "Nokia Sans 14"

I also like to change the font in viewed files to 16. ymmv :)

Oh, and hit that "Toggle Output" icon to give yourself more display area.

Disclaimer: I'm sure no one in this thread is encouraging anyone to use this very powerful tool. It can do a lot of things and also screw up a lot of things on your device.
In fact, the few times that I have had to re-flash my device have occurred immediately following using this tool to monkey around with files that I found with it. Again, ymmv. :)

@YoDude

it's now more readable.

Can i change anywhere the window and panes background to white?
Black writing on white background would be much better.

Re: emelfm2
 

You can try any changes you want by launching it from the desktop shortcut instead. There are apparently two different config files so any changes you make on the desktop version do not affect the version launched in xTerm...

It's a good thing too, because I have lost features like the bar that has the settings icon on it by playing with it and couldn't get settings back.

So play around on the desktop until you find the settings you like then use them on the version launched by xTerm.

To answer your question, I don't know. I couldn't easily find those settings and once I got it somewhat usable I stopped playin' and started doing. :)

Re: emelfm2
 

Thank you for posting your configuration, it saves a lot of trial and errors.
To go to custom fonts, one has to scroll to the right to see that, and I use Sans 11
dialogs>custom font for viewing files (scroll to see options), I use Sans 12

commands>output uncheck show commands, that takes away the white bar

I need help to increase the screen real estate by:
1) reduce the height of the 3rd row, the navigation row, the row right after the icons, the /usr/bin/ row in the picture
2) remove the last row, the one with user: 0 selected item(s)...
3) can it go into full screen?

If anybody knows where the config item is, TIA,

Re: emelfm2
 

I cannot install the WikiHow application from the Ovi store with emelfm2 already installed. Do you know how to use both applications?

Is it also possible to start emelfm2 with root privileges so that you can edit and save ever file you want?

Re: emelfm2
 

No idea about the 1st question,

2nd question.
xterm
sudo gainroot
emelfem2

Re: emelfm2
 

How can edit the shortcut of emelfm2 so that it will be executed with root privileges every time?

Re: emelfm2
 

Yes, you can run emelfm2 at root from xterm.

...and No, the installation of emelfm2 should not prevent you from running another app unless that app is not optified and requires the root space for its installation. If that is the case then the program you uninstall to make room for it doesn't matter.
On the face of it it looks like this WiKiHow app is not optified and actually loads its data into root. This is something unexpected from an app from a "trusted" source like Ovi.
Perhaps another thread should be started to discuss this. :)

Re: emelfm2
 

Thanks.

So how must I edit the .desktop file to run emelfm2 always with root privileges?

Re: emelfm2
 

As application exec use: /bin/busybox sh -c 'echo emelfm2 | sudo gainroot'

Should work fine... Or you can edit the sudoers file...

Re: emelfm2
 

I wouldn't edit a dang thing without the right editor. Instead, simply gain root in xterm by installing rootsh. At the root prompt type emelfm2 and hit enter.

Re: emelfm2
 

Ummm, what's wrong with vim? You can't get more proper/right editor than that...

Re: emelfm2
 

You didn't specify an editor in your original post. :)

The proof in the pudding is always in the tasting though so follow a couple of posts down on this page >> http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=38582&page=12
to see what editing the sudoers file tasted like for me at least. :eek:

...of course everyones mileage may vary and not everyone is as foolish as me so IMHO, I wouldn't jump to an alternative means that has potentially more risks when a safer solution is at hand. :)

Re: emelfm2
 

Well, he asked how to edit the .desktop file, specifically what shall he put there - he didn't mention editing sudoers.

As for sudoers, there is always the proven method - visudo ( /usr/sbin/visudo ), which at the moment pops up with an error that it cannot find /bin/vi - just add a symlink to your vim in /bin/vi and you are all set.

Re: emelfm2
 

Fair enough. :)

...and as to DaSilva's orriginai statement...

I have had time to uninstall emelfm2 to try this and he is absolutely correct. Not only is WikiHow a memory hog but is it is un-installable with emelfm2 installed and as he stated, vice versa.
For me this is a real head scratcher and I will start a new thread because of this and the other issues with WikiHow. I will reference Dasilva's observations that are in this thread.

WikiHow is an interesting app that may have been rushed by the press reports about iPhone users using simular apps during Haiti's crisis. However, whenever you need more than the rudimentary info it provides, it refers you to its web page.

(Most may already know basic first aid but how to treat something a little more advanced like a sucking chest wound may need an internet connection anyway)

For now I just put a shortcut to its web site on my desktop.

Re: emelfm2
 

I also found that wikiHow leaves a big file /.deb, which seems to be simply the package itself in the rootfs.

Is there any way to file bug reports for OVI shop content?

Re: emelfm2
 

Is there any chance that EmelFM2 will get moved into Extras or at least Extras-Devel (for Diablo)?
