folder explorer as a widget? - Page 3 - maemo.org

Download and install TxPad (extras-testing, extras-devel repos) code editor and go to File/Open.

Its only a basic "explorer", if you like it, i can develop it further (As a standalone application)

TRX.

As I said above I'd like to see a widget which displays the folder in icon view (something like the plasma widget or screenlet).
If you write anything like that I'd appreciate that.

(I like TXPad. The one thing I don't like is that it's in rootfs btw)

nice idea to make "MyComputer" like a desktop has!!!!

electroaudio | # 24 | 2011-07-15, 14:13 | Report

TxPad was very nice

it the best filebrowser i have seen on N900 so far!

And as mentioned byNicholes, it would be very nice as a MyComputer icon.
It is also nice that it can view the whole filesystem and doesnt limit itself to mydocs, but maybe it shoud expand mydocs as a startingpoint if possible?

So this is the current state.

Buggy and not usable, wrong icons wrong toolbar. No refresh, no nothing. A lot to change, but it will look this way in the end
If want to try this anyway to see how it looks on your phone (mainly icon size), install yellownotes and move the files from the archive to /usr/lib/hildon-desktop. icon to home/user/.yellownotes. Add yellownotes widget to desktop.

Nothing happens...
What do you mean with "right button"?

Btw, why did you choose to make yellownotes a part of it?

I just used yellownotes as it has a lot useful stuff for me in it, I'm familiar with the code and had a readymade widget to start with immediately. I have removed most of the unneccessary thigs (e.g. the toolbar on screenshot/everything notes related by now and the widget looks better already.

(new screenshot/new files/no buttons anymore)

I dont have that button.
Oh, my fault! one of the original files wasnt overwritten, so now it works (sort of... very buggy indeed

) But the iconsize seems to be the same as my desktopicons which according to my settings are 96.
