Re: [ANNOUNCE] FileBox - File manager with root access and more
 
I am right in thinking filebox cannot view the hidden folders in my docs (.sounds, .images, .videos). Or is there some setting I need to change to be able to view them in filebox (other than changing all of them from . folders).

You need to tick 'Show hidden files and folders' in the settings.

I should have checked this but honeslty thought that was part of the dependencies!

So basically "compress" is integrated but not "uncompress"...

Thanks for the quick reply
There is already tar on the system, so anything can be compressed into tar archive, whether you have other archive programs or not.

Filebox recommends zip, unzip, unrar, but doesn't force them, in case you don't need them.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] FileBox - File manager with root access and more
 
I seem to be having a problem with copy and pasting files with Filebox. The wee root access box is ticked, and has been restarted.

So I know that when you hold your finger on a file, it brings up the pop-up list, I scroll up and select copy, yes?

But then when I goto paste it with either CTRL+V or the wee paste from clipboard button in the tool menu, it returns something along the lines of "ERROR: Nothing selected to paste"

Tried enabling the select multiple items thing and ticked the ones I wanted copied, then hit CTRL+C, but that doesnt seem to work for me either.

Anyone wanna help me out here? I must be missing out something very basic but important. :(

Other than that, nice file manager, thanks!

Use clipboard icon.

Two sheets of paper: paste the clipboard items which are ticked into the current folder.
Scissors: move the clipboard items which are ticked from their original location to the current folder.
Eraser: for the clipboard items which are ticked, forget they were copied.
Trash can: delete/remove/erase the clipboard items which are ticked from the file-system, completely.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] FileBox - File manager with root access and more
 
when i try to copy a large file (3.5 GB) from a usb disk on key to micro SD card storage i get an error of "not enough space to proceed". if i try to do the same copy operation with emelFM2 it works fine.
Why does filebox not allowing large file copying?

Hello
Maybe someone know where the filebox is save thumbnails of images and icons ?
I have a little problem, if I change some system icons (by my PC), in the filebox I still see the original icon (the thumbnail of icon).. Reboot not help...

CepiPerez 2011-01-19 11:08
Re: [ANNOUNCE] FileBox - File manager with root access and more
 
CTRL+R clear the thumbnails cache

Schturman 2011-01-19 12:20
Re: [ANNOUNCE] FileBox - File manager with root access and more
 
Thanks, but where I should do this ?
I tried to go to the folder, I check the file with wrong thumbnail and I pressed CTRL+R, this did something like refresh, but the wrong thumbnail is still here..
Where is my mistake ? or where is thumbnails located ?

Re: [ANNOUNCE] FileBox - File manager with root access and more
 
The best file manager i ever used. I chose pygtk editor as the default editor.
Excellent app. Thank you.

CTRL+R should remove ALL thumbails
The folder is /home/user/thumbnails/filebox
Go to this folder and check if it's empty

Try this in root mode, maybe it's a permission problem deleting cache.
If that's the problem I'll fix that

Hi
When I went to the folder /home/user/thumbnails/filebox, I marked all the files and I tried to run a command CTRL + R and my phone stuck in a bit ..
I saw the CPU is 80-90%, I waited and waited, but nothing.. I did reboot to my phone and when I tried open the "FILEBOX" it's took a very long time (5-7 min)...
I tried again delete this files, but I got the same result...
I updated the version to 0.7-3 and tried again, but I got the same result...
I did uninstallation to the "FILEBOX" and I went to the folder /home/user/thumbnails (in X-Tetrm), I tried delete the folder "filebox" and again my phone stuck in a bit and the CPU is 80-90%. Only now I understand why it's happened... I think this happened because a large amount of files... I waited something like 15-20 minutes ! for completing process .. After that I installed the "FILEBOX" again.. (v 0.7-2)

You can use CTRL+A...

yea figured couple things out, but still got a feeling that the original file manager deals with this a bit user friendly so to speak.
you choose "delete" than check the files and do so. also had an error deleting a folder using the FileBox and the standard file manager let me delete it.

Again, the FileBox is awesome and provides much more than the built-in manager but its my 10c

Re: [ANNOUNCE] FileBox - File manager with root access and more
 
Fantastic app mate!!! Its one of my most frequently used applications!!! Thanks a lot for making my N900 so much more awesome! :)

Just some suggestions...
1) Would it be possible for you to reduce the touch and hold time for the context menu a bit? Or atleast making it configurable via settings.
2) Also, as @Weedalot was suggesting, i personally feel the systems default implementation for multi-select dialogues is a little better in usability.
3) A file/folder details menu and configurable keyboard shortcuts can also be nice additions too.

Would love to see this application develop further if you have the time. Sorry if i have repeated some previously mentioned stuff as i haven't gone through all the pages of this thread.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] FileBox - File manager with root access and more
 
is it just me or someone else has this problem? not all icon packs are loaded in FileBox, i am using an-droid theme with icon pack and i have only humanity hicolor and Black-Plastic to choose from, but i also got pleego,pleego-black icon set and an-droid icon set installed.

ivgalvez 2011-02-09 07:34
Re: [ANNOUNCE] FileBox - File manager with root access and more
 
It seems that Filebox comes with its own icon packs instead of using system ones, it also implements its own icon selection in configuration.

I think it's not needed any more. CepiPerez, you could remove the select icon theme feature and use system defaults, as it can all be configured from Theme Customizer.

I've uploaded 0.7-4 version to extras-devel
Added storage devices list (like default filemanager).
I'll see if I can add attributes option to next version.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] FileBox - File manager with root access and more
 
Hi CepiPerez, I did a little suggestion for FileBox in another thread, dunno if you have seen it:

I think it would be easier to use it if multiselection was only possible by clicking in the checkbox beside the element, instead of in any place of the element as it's implemented right now. This way, you could have multiselection always enabled, at the minimum cost of loosing a few space for the checkbox, while still being able to navigate with one click.

evan 2011-07-21 15:10
Re: [ANNOUNCE] FileBox - File manager with root access and more
 
I like the way I can get to the memory card faster now with devices.
By the way, I second the above suggestion, since I don't use multiselection because of the way it is now implemented.

CepiPerez 2011-07-21 19:25
Re: [ANNOUNCE] FileBox - File manager with root access and more
 
Yes you're right, multiselection sucks
I'll change it

Re: [ANNOUNCE] FileBox - File manager with root access and more
 
first of all awesome app!!! thank you!!!

it seems selecting thumbnail option or trying to extract any archive leads to the freezing of the device. . .

the only way to restart is to pull battery out. .

ny idea on wich settings are recommended?

thks in advance. . i have all options selected except thumbnail view display so my device does nt freeze on app launch.

I have an wierd issue with filebox - when i start the application, all icons are empty (see picture).
will erasing the config files help? where can i find them?
Thanks.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] FileBox - File manager with root access and more
 
@impeham change icon theme from setting, close file box then open it again should do the job. @Cepiperez what about adding property menu in long press (folder size, number of files and folders inside), even more importantly find feature to search files/folders and what about custom size of file/folder list height/font size, what about tree view as in x-plore app from lonelycatgames.com.... Gosh too many feature requests I have to mention here, hope you will implement some in your spare time!

Just little info - when used in parallel with Easy Debian, new "devices" screen show 3x N900 and 3x memory card.

A small suggestion: it would be extremely-highly-amazingly-turbo-awsome if it supported letters with accents. It would be very useful for french people namely. This is my case and I can't open folders with accents in their names (they are not displayed and manually filling the adressbar does not solve the problem).

Yes, it's a localization job, may be it requires a lot of work, I don't know.
Bump after one year. :D Compatibility with accented characters would be very useful for many European people.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] FileBox - File manager with root access and more
 
Great App, guy!!! The one I use for file managing since I got my N900 one year ago. BTW, as some others said before, I would much appreciate capacities for file searching (including hidden files in hidden folders).

One question: I don't know why but since this morning, while I was copying a big folder (cities) to tmp folder with Filebox and an income call appeared (i couldn't catch the call; phone seemed to hang for a long while with the screen blocked), something wrong is happening: my built-in memory folder is no longer named "N900" (home/user/MyDocs) as up to now but with an unreadable description ("M-GM-,MM-T9qg"). Is it something known for somebody? It doesn't let me rename it. I've reinstalled app for several times (even app icons didn't appear; now they do). Any help is more than welcome.;)
