[WIP] Cargo Dock, a two-paned Sailfish filemanager with Dropbox and WebDAV
 

I'm working on a two-paned filemanager for Sailfish. Sometimes you just need such a tool to clean up the mess you have on the phone. ;)

Cargo Dock is work-in-progress. I have yet to submit it to Jolla Harbour, but you can already try it out on your device, if you have Developer Mode enabled to install RPM packages.

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/...-1.armv7hl.rpm

Cargo Dock is available in the Jolla Store by now. This link points to an old version and I remove it from DropBox one day (when I feel like cleaning up).

This version is not yet the one I'm going to release to Harbour. It's still a bit rough and needs polishing here and there. Early feedback from you, however, is valuable in this phase.

Features:

* two-paned filemanager (think of Norton Commander ;) )
* can browse your file system, SD card, Android storage
* breadcrumbs menu for finding your way up the filesystem hierarchy quickly
* copy, link, delete files and folders
* rename files
* create folders
* change file permissions
* open files with their associated apps (e.g. a apk will be installed, a picture will be opened in the gallery; there are not many file type bindings available on Sailfish yet)
* Sailfish-style gesture-based UI

Read the help page in the app. It will help you utilize the features.
Btw, this app is open source and you can find the source code here: https://github.com/pycage/cargodock

Re: [WIP] Cargo Dock, a two-paned Sailfish filemanager
 

Hello and thank you for this application. I am a beginner and would like to know how to install. I do not know the command in terminal. Thanks again

Re: [WIP] Cargo Dock, a two-paned Sailfish filemanager
 

Cool app! I like the OH functionality, maybe you could add a Move action to the pulley menu too? Personally I cannot think a case when i will use the link to the other side option, but sounds nice to have to :)
Also, what about the active cover actions? Currently there is play and pause (?). Which actions to you plan to attach there in future?

And thanks for the great app again!

Re: [WIP] Cargo Dock, a two-paned Sailfish filemanager
 

Just open terminal, go to folder where this rpm is located (Downloads i suppose) and run

Re: [WIP] Cargo Dock, a two-paned Sailfish filemanager
 

As it's work-in-progress, I haven't done anything with the cover yet. What you see is the default cover from the SDK. :)
OTOH, I can't think of any useful cover actions for a filemanager...

Re: [WIP] Cargo Dock, a two-paned Sailfish filemanager
 

It's a great app, but those icons look blured unfortunately :(

Re: [WIP] Cargo Dock, a two-paned Sailfish filemanager
 

i think screenshot would be nice :)

Re: [WIP] Cargo Dock, a two-paned Sailfish filemanager
 

pycage this is great :)

The only issue I have with it it's not consistent with the sailfish flow, I've spent 30 seconds swiping to the right because the rest of the OS uses that as back button. I know pulley works too but using the swipe as the OS uses would feel more natural to the application.

I must say Really nicely done pycage :) Keep up the great work I can't wait for updates!

[edit] I see what you did there, two pages and movement between them. I take it back and continue with Cool app keep it up :)

Re: [WIP] Cargo Dock, a two-paned Sailfish filemanager
 

Truth is I cannot think yet of a useful active cover action either :)
But ok, keep it as a placeholder till final release, someone may come up with a nice-to-do action!

Re: [WIP] Cargo Dock, a two-paned Sailfish filemanager
 

Yes, the two halves approach does not go together with backward swipes. But IMHO a pulley menu with breadcrumbs fits the Sailfish look & feel well, too. It's just another gesture.

Re: [WIP] Cargo Dock, a two-paned Sailfish filemanager
 

Yes, I think so, too. Anybody is free to post screenshots, though. :)
I'm too lazy for making and uploading screenshots now; I just brought the app to a somewhat releasable state. ;)

Re: [WIP] Cargo Dock, a two-paned Sailfish filemanager
 

If sorting had newest on top option and the cover would contain minimized app refresh could be useful in some situations (unless the minimized view would refresh itself like fingerterm, then no need I guess) and thanks, awesome app.

Re: [WIP] Cargo Dock, a two-paned Sailfish filemanager
 

While we talking about storage I got a SanDisk 16GB microSDHC card in my Jolla when I plug in the Jolla to my PC, it only shows the internal memory. So to copy stuff to the card from PC I need to plug in the card to the PC?

Is this normal / missing / I'm_doing_something_wrong?

Re: [WIP] Cargo Dock, a two-paned Sailfish filemanager
 

This is currently normal. Will change I guess with a future update so that the MTP support shows you two folders, like internal and microSD card. But this is totaly system related and has nothing todo with this file manager project.

Re: [WIP] Cargo Dock, a two-paned Sailfish filemanager
 

good work dev :)

Re: [WIP] Cargo Dock, a two-paned Sailfish filemanager
 

Seems like the file manager lacks permissions to delete things from the android system.

Re: [WIP] Cargo Dock, a two-paned Sailfish filemanager
 

Yes, user nemo does not have full permissions for the Android storage. You may need an Android filemanager for this. But even then it may not be possible to remove some app-private data.

Re: [WIP] Cargo Dock, a two-paned Sailfish filemanager
 

For cover actions, what about:

• Jump to Home Folder, SD Card or a favourite folder that's been configured

• Refresh / Reload the current directory's contents

Re: [WIP] Cargo Dock, a two-paned Sailfish filemanager
 

Thanks for this great Sailfish app. Jolla-fileman is going to get retired :)
Samba client would be a nice feature. Then one would not need to use cable to transfer files between Jolla and NAS.

Re: [WIP] Cargo Dock, a two-paned Sailfish filemanager
 

New version:

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/...-1.armv7hl.rpm

* New icon thanks to Morpog
* Added cover
* Thumbnail previews for JPEG images now, too
* Fixed blurry icons
* Preview for audio, text, and images in the file info view
* Safe-mode (restricted to your data) unless your device is in developer mode
* Bug fixes


Edit: If the new icon does not show, please uninstall the old version first. This is a known bug in Sailfish.

Re: [WIP] Cargo Dock, a two-paned Sailfish filemanager
 

Uninstalled but still didnt show
e: reboot helped

Re: [WIP] Cargo Dock, a two-paned Sailfish filemanager
 

by the time I get a jolla all the [currently] missing apps will have been made by awesome community members such as pycage

Re: [WIP] Cargo Dock, a two-paned Sailfish filemanager
 

Updated first post with new download URL and screenshots.

Re: [WIP] Cargo Dock, a two-paned Sailfish filemanager
 

Has he search option ?

Re: [WIP] Cargo Dock, a two-paned Sailfish filemanager
 

I really appreciate Your work, pycage...! Thanks... :)

Swipe left to open left side, and swipe right to open right side... ;)

Re: [WIP] Cargo Dock, a two-paned Sailfish filemanager
 

Awesome app! Works like a dream and the icon is cool too :D

Re: [WIP] Cargo Dock, a two-paned Sailfish filemanager
 

Very cool app :).

Re: [WIP] Cargo Dock, a two-paned Sailfish filemanager
 

Nice app. Please add
1) home (/home/nemo) to Places between Android storage and System. I use many own created dirs in home.
2) posibility to go one dir up (known as "..") :)

I was mismatch apps. Filebrowser from Kari have nice .rpm instalation. What about merge projects ? :)

Re: [WIP] Cargo Dock, a two-paned Sailfish filemanager
 

Yeah, I had it there, but removed it because the list was growing too long and you can always get there via System.
I plan that eventually you will be able to place your own bookmarks in Places.

Just drag the pulley menu and use the first option. :)

Enabling RPM installation without Developer Mode is a dangerous thing (as RPMs can brick your device and have root access), and I wonder how Filebrowser got through the QA with this feature at all.
You should legally only be able to break your device after accepting the terms and conditions of Developer Mode.

Anyway, you can install RPMs without Developer Mode with Cargo Dock, too, by exploiting a bug in the store-client (until it will be fixed).
In another thread, somebody shortly described how to do it.

Re: [WIP] Cargo Dock, a two-paned Sailfish filemanager
 

And i think this is it :)

Re: [WIP] Cargo Dock, a two-paned Sailfish filemanager
 

A bug ? Believed it was a feature :p

Re: [WIP] Cargo Dock, a two-paned Sailfish filemanager
 

Yes its a bug. Allowing 3rd party rpm's to be side loaded is supposed behind settings flag which is coming as some later update.

Re: [WIP] Cargo Dock, a two-paned Sailfish filemanager
 

So beatiful filemanager! It's sad that installing rpm was bug, I was going to ask where is it..

but Nice work! Veery nice! You developers are amazing!

Re: [WIP] Cargo Dock, a two-paned Sailfish filemanager
 

How about having a disabled option (default off) in settings to install RPM files. It goes active as soon as developer mode is enabled. Then you can manually enable that setting.

Re: [WIP] Cargo Dock, a two-paned Sailfish filemanager
 

This may be an option.

Re: [WIP] Cargo Dock, a two-paned Sailfish filemanager
 

great!
missing:
-create folders
-rename files
-open video, audio, images and package
-zip/unzip files
-sort by data,name or dimension

Re: [WIP] Cargo Dock, a two-paned Sailfish filemanager
 

Very nice tool. Thank you. Is it possible to get it over jolla store in the future?

Re: [WIP] Cargo Dock, a two-paned Sailfish filemanager
 

Yes, we are working on including "allow 3rd party rpm install/sideloading" setting in future sw updates (default off). And applications will be required to follow that setting value.

Re: [WIP] Cargo Dock, a two-paned Sailfish filemanager
 

app is available or download in Jolla store

Re: [WIP] Cargo Dock, a two-paned Sailfish filemanager
 

Not missing: :)
- create folders
- rename files
- open audio (well, play it in the app itself), images (opens gallery), package (performs the standard open action associated with rpm)
