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

pycage | # 1 | 2013-12-23, 19:58 | Report

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

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

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!

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

Code:

pkcon install-local harbour-cargodock-0.1-1.armv7hl.rpm

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...

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

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

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!

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.
