File Manager selection

Not to say Nautilus is bad or anything of the sort, but what are some other file managers out there you guys would recommend? I like simplicity, but I want it to look great and not too basic. Basically I'm just asking you guys to rant about your file managers and urge me to check them out so I can see what all is out there, and what would work best for me. I'm using Gnome BTW.

You can achieve the same by using a filemanager like Thunar together with fuse modules, like I did with fusesmb (works much better than kioslaves, because it even allows playing videos over the network without copying to the local machine first). In my opinion, the KDE kioslaves are pretty much broken, so fuse is the better option for me, which renders the advantage of konqueror with kioslaves pretty much useless. I am still using konqueror (with the baghira sidebar) ATM, but I am tempted to swap over to Thunar, because the baghira sidebar for konqueror is not fully functional (means the favorites placed in the lower part of the sidebar are not really files/folders, and therefor can not be used for drag&drop), and I very much like that filemanager layout. Didn't try Dolphin so far, although some other guys are very pleased with it.
Baghira sidebar is kludge. Check dolphin

Can't see email messages in file manager

I've been testing email on my new phone (6682) and now I'd like to delete all the messages in my inbox. nothing shows up in the messages folder in file manager on my PC even though I have about 30 emails on the phone. I can view all other data (images, contacts, etc.)
Additionally, I can't seem to delete the emails directly from my phone. It keeps saying it will keep the headers in memory....and I don't want to keep them. There must be a way. Nokia phone support (believe it or not)could not help me after 45 minutes on the phone. Their solution was to completely reset the phone *#7370#. Please advise if you can.
-Phone Nokia 6682
-PC Suite 6.8
-Windows XP
Thanks

In all serie-60 phones when you choose to delete the e-mail (and select "Phone") it will delete the content of the e-mail and keep the header of the e-mail until you connect to the e-mail server again. After that it will be erased from the phone.
It is not a phone "feature", it is how e-mails usually works when the are downloaded from a server. The mail is not deleted until you connect to the server next time, because the server need to know if it is going to keep a copy of the mail or not. It is working the same way with an exchange server except that it is going so fast so you can´t "see it"....
The views I present are my OWN and not of any organisation I may belong too.

Set Default Sort in File Manager

Hi,
When i go to File Manager, Media Card, Photos, the default "sort" is set to Name and "order" Ascending. If i want to change it to "sort" date and "order" descending, i select date and then it jumps back to the actual pictures. I have to go back into the menu to do the second selection "sort" descending". So can the development team create an option where you change all the settings first and then you save them which then brings you back to the actual pictures? And also look into the option of remembering your preferred sort/order preferences? because once you go out of file manager and go back in, you have to do these steps again.
if I am overlooking this feature (maybe it's already a setting somewhere which i missed) feel free te let me know.
Thanks

Hi,
It's not about set of key field in MDM Import Manager but the reason is that you can not select more than 1 category(Lookup Taxonomy) in maintable for one record. thats why error is coming because for this Property Multi-valued always No.
Even, you can try this in Data Manager manually create three Category A, B and C in taxonomy mode on selecting Sub table Categories, then on selecting main table, when you select category field(which is lookup to categories table)for a particular record you could able to select only one category A, B or C.
i would suggest make a Attribute of type text having three values A, B and C and mark this as Multi-Valued in Attribute Detail and link this Attribute with your category. in this way you can attach three values A, B and C with your Record.
Other thing you can do,make this category field as (Lookup Hierarchy not lookup taxonomy) in main table to Subtable(Hierarchy) then for this field in main table you can set Property Multi-valued = Yes in MDM console and then after Import using MDM Import Manager finally only one record will get created in Data Manager as:
Name Category
1 A;B;C
Hope it will Help you,
Rewards if Useful.....

Searching for a good file manager

I'm searching for a good file manager. Konqueror 3.5 is quite good, dolphin 4.1 and konqueror 4.1 are not. Since konqueror 3.5 is going to die due to lack of support in the future, I kind of need to find a new good file manager...
Do there exist file managers with the following features?
Many of these features are things I thought were quite logical to be in a file manager, but seem to be missing in most "modern" ones...
-independent of any desktop (gnome or KDE), just a standalone program
-preferably not being both a web browser and file manager in once, at least not in an annoying way. Konqueror 3.5 shows that being that combination is possible without being annoying.
-ability to have a tree view of the folders on one side and list view showing the files and subfolders of the folder currently selected in the tree on the other side
-detailed list view showing at least filename, type, date and size, and the ability to sort according to any of these properties
-a non-detailed view showing image contents would also be nice, to browse folders of photos or other images
-ability to open files in certain programs if you doubleclick the file, NOT open it by singleclicking, singleclicking may only select it
-ability to select multiple files by dragging box around files or using keys like "ctrl" and "shift"
-ability to do "open terminal here" or type terminal commands in the current open directory
-must have ability to drag files from one folder to another, from list view to tree view and vica versa, to move or copy them
-and must have ability to use "ctrl+c" and "ctrl+v" to copy files and foldes from here to there
-multiple tabs is a huge plus
-favorites (to local folder paths) is also a huge plus
-preview of files when hovering the mouse over them is nice
-must have ability to zip and unzip (or other compression formats) folders by just right clicking them and choosing a zip/unzip command there
-in addition to that, must also have ability to browse through a zip file as you would through a normal directory, and drag files from the insides of the zip file to the tree view to automatically unzip those files there, and of course "ctrl+c"/"ctrl+v" should also work to copy a file from the inside of the zip file, to some other folder on your disk
-no horizontal autoscrolling in the tree view, that is an invention straight from the abyss...

I know exactly how you feel about KDE 4 vs. 3 -- Konqueror was the best part of KDE for me (pretty much the only part I ever used, actually; my window manager is a slightly modified version of WMII and I generally loathe "desktop environments"). KDE 4 ruined it, completely and utterly.
I submitted about 20 different bug reports about Konqeuror 4, mostly features that they'd deleted or mangled; some of them are starting to be addressed now. I don't think they'll ever fix the speed issues though, because those are dependent on the underlying KDE 4 libraries as far as I can tell -- it's as if KDE 4 were purposely and deliberately designed to be slower than KDE 3. Even if they fix all of its deficiencies, that'll probably keep me from using it...
Right now there's KDEmod, which will hopefully maintain its KDE 3 branch for a while longer. It's starting to show some problems, though; I haven't been able to get kdemod konqueror 3 to work fully out of the box (the settings pages are all blank). On my main machine, I somehow managed to hack together some of the KDEmod3 packages so that I have a functional konqueror 3 running alongside the Arch repository's version of KDE4. I'm afraid to pacman -Syu now, though, because it will probably break horribly :P
I don't remember exactly how I got konqueror 3 going like that, as I did it in my initial fit of rage after I did the pacman -Syu that got me KDE4 (a decision I have regretted ever since), but it was something like this:
1. move /opt to /opt.kde4
2. make a new /opt
3. download several KDE 3 packages from the KDEmod3 repositories manually
4. extract those packages into the new /opt with tar -xzf (NOT pacman!)
5. try /opt/kde/bin/konqueror
6. read reams of error messages about missing libraries, segfaults, etc.
7. try to supply the missing libraries by downloading other kdemod3 packages and manually extracting them
8. goto 5
Then, when everything worked (sort of), I renamed some stuff so that 'konqueror' is konqueror 4 (I think having it konqueror 3 broke something else, but I don't remember what), and konqueror 3 is called 'k3nqueror'.
If KDEmod3 ever goes away and there's no other good replacement file manager by then, I'll probably take the source code of KDE3 and try to make a standalone version of konqueror out of it. (Which will probably be quite a project because of how interdependent all the KDE components are.)
Some features I "need" in a file manager, besides the ones you mentioned:
- Konqueror's tree view (where you can expand folder branches in the file list)
- Infinite view splitting -- I frequently have my konqueror windows split into 4, sometimes as many as 6 or 7 view panes. Very useful for sorting out files.
- Selection rectangles are sensitive only over files -- I find full-row-select really annoying, because there are no guaranteed "blank" areas that you can click on to clear a selection. I also use this behaviour to grab long-named files that are interspersed with short ones, because they hilight first when the rectangle touches them (you wouldn't think this very useful, but surprisingly often you do want to do something to all the long-named files...)
- Right-clicking on a folder and clicking "Paste" pastes into that folder, not the current one -- you'd be amazed at how many file managers get this wrong. I shouldn't have to cd into a folder just to paste some files there.

My small split-view file manager

Hello.
I've created a small file manager with split-view. While some functionality is still missing, the manager is usable and I'm using it as my primery tool for file browsing.
You can get the browser from here http://github.com/napsy/gsfm
space - select/unselect
F5 - copy selection
F4 - rename selection
F3 - new directory
delete - delete selection
tab - change view
There is support for custom view with a config file. You put the config file inside your ~/.config directory. A sample config is provided with the source.
Sere is a screenshot: http://napotnik.info/images/gsfm.png

It's good that it's C and BSD-licensed, but I don't really see a point in GTK. I mean, there are a lot of GTK file browsers out there already, but there is no (to my mind) proper ncurses file browser written in pure C. It's just MC and vifm, all the others aren't C. So if it would be ncurses I would definetly be interested. That's just my opinion. Anyways, thanks!

File Manager problem

I am trying to assist my mate uploading documents onto his site. He has been set up with Dreamweaver and is more hopeless than I am. It is a case of the blind leading the blind.
I am able to upload and overwrite files using his legacy file manager but cannot do so using his file manager.
After opening file management I then open on web root and then hit go. I am then supposed to be able to click on the upload button in order to be able to browse in order to select the file I want. I am then supposed to be able to upload it. But nothing at all happens when I first hit upload in order for me to be able to browse.
As I have said, this does not happen with legacy file manager, where it allows me to hit upload files and then allows me to browse and then upload without delay.
I contacted the bloke who installed the system and he is unsure as to why it happens. He said it could be something to do with my browser popup settings, but they are okay. I would be very grateful for advice.

I'm not sure which one he's using. I'm at my own computer at the moment and my mate's not around. I'll find out asap. Sorry my question was confusing. I am very much a layman.

Using file manager to see files stored on the camera

I use an EOS 350D. With Windows XP, uisn File Manager (Windows Explorer) I could see the camera as a drive, and could see the list of image files on the camera, select and download them etc. However, using windows 7 I do not see the camera as a drive. Why is that? Is it because I have all the Canon software loaded? What can I do to have direct access to the files on the camera via File Manager. I don't use the Canon software for anything.

From Canon ...
"There is no driver for the OS Version you selected. The driver may be included in your OS or you may not need a driver."
This is true for Win 7 or XP.
"Change the camera’s USB connection mode from “PC” to “Print/PTP”.
This is required for all older cameras. But it does not require any Canon software since it is an in-camera setting,

Question about Adding External Storage/File Management

I am using LR5.2 on mid-2011 MBA. Before long I will run out of space on the HD. I have one catalog of about 16K photos. I would like to purchase external hard drive for additional storage. I use Time Machine for backup. What is the best way to manage the additional storage and keep the catalog intact?
1) I currently have photos organized by date? i.e., Pictures/2013/2013-10-10/ etc. Should I keep this file organization as it is and then when importing new photos, select 'copy' from SD card and select 'Location' as new external drive?
OR
2) Should I move all photos to new backup drive to keep all files stored together? Would this be better for long term file management?
Any recommendations for best practices? Or is there a better to organize photos for current and future use?
Also, does the catalog stay in the same location under either 1) or 2)
Thanks in advance

I would suggest creating a root folder on the EHD. You will need to keep your EHD connected when working with Lightroom. It will show up like your Mac HD with the green light in the left hand panel.
Leave everything where it is for the time being but you may want to drag older folders to the EHD over time, as importing new photos, generating previews and using the develop module will usually be faster on the main flash drive of the MBA.
Don’t use Finder to move files/folders around. Always use the Lightroom Library and the database of files and your develop settings (catalog) will not get corrupted.

Why does Muse upload many pages when I only have Modified Files option selected?

In Muse, when I use the "Upload to FTP Host" option (my preferred update method), Muse will load 37 pages (I have almost 70) even though I have made no changes whatsoever.
I have read and implemented options suggested on this forum including this:

Hi Ellen,
It looks like your muse_manifest.xml file is corrupt. Please login to your BC site's admin, go to Site Manager > File manager and delete the muse_manifest.xml file. Publish the site again from Muse and select to publish all the files. Next time when you will publish the modified files only, it will work.
Cheers!
Aish
I deleted the muse_manifest.xml file and selected the Upload to FTP Host option selecting the option "All Files". Afterward there was no change.
This is what happens:
I edit pages and select the Upload to FTP Host option. I have "Only Modified Pages" selected. I have made changes to three or four pages. Muse uploads 37 pages. I made no changes to a master page. The update said it was successful. I click OK. I go to my site and pages are loaded properly.
The very next thing I do is try another update and it loads 37 pages, although I have made absolutely zero changes. Not to a master, not to any page. The last thing I clicked in Muse was OK when it said the update was successful. I do it again after changing nothing and 37 pages load. It is not loading every page. Just 37 (sometimes less, sometimes more).
I do not have any alerts showing on my assets panel that Muse might be confused by.
My Muse file is 55.4 MB (sizable, but nowhere near what others are dealing with.)
Can you help me?

Okay, I emailed the link to my dropbox awhile back but continued to work on the problem on my own as I did not hear back. Maybe you never saw the email, who knows?
Anyhow, I discovered that it was custom buttons that I had created in Photoshop, with layers. They worked just fine in Muse in all four states, they worked just fine when published. They were added to my library but on every page that they were placed, that page loaded every time. I checked and rechecked the links. I added them to the library for each page they were on. No dice. They still required that page be loaded every time
It was definitely not worth the hassle so I deleted every one from my site and the site loads only modified pages perfectly now.
Maybe some day I will dig deeper into why they did not work but not today.
I hope that this helps someone.

Yosemite is awful- unable to empty trash, volume options are haywire, error codes on file management, and files won't replace when moved. What are my options at this point?

Like the topic - "Yosemite is awful- unable to empty trash, volume options are haywire, error codes on file management, and files won't replace when moved. What are my options at this point?"
I installed this OS, and it looks nice, but it's terrible to use. I randomly have the volume controls get disabled, and sometimes the volume menu in the system tray does nothing when adjusted which I've never seen in an OS before. The trash won't empty. When I try to drag and drop newer files over existing ones, nothing happens. The old ones just stay there. I have to delete the old ones and then move the new ones. And when I go into the protected files to manage audio plugins (I make music), the first thing I hit are error codes galore, and password prompts that either don't popup when they should, or don't execute the command after I provide my password.
What can I do now that I installed the flames of **** onto my computer?

Back up all data before proceeding.
This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership, permissions, and access controls to the default. If you've intentionally set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it, but you do need to follow the instructions below.
Step 1
If you have more than one user, and the one in question is not an administrator, then go to Step 2.
Triple-click anywhere in the following line on this page to select it:
sudo find ~ $TMPDIR.. -exec chflags -h nouchg,nouappnd,noschg,nosappnd {} + -exec chown -h $UID {} + -exec chmod +rw {} + -exec chmod -h -N {} + -type d -exec chmod -h +x {} + 2>&-
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window by pressing command-V. I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, you may have to press the return key after pasting.
You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
The command may take several minutes to run, depending on how many files you have. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign ($) to appear, then quit Terminal.
Step 2 (optional)
Take this step only if you have trouble with Step 1, if you prefer not to take it, or if it doesn't solve the problem.
Start up in Recovery mode. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
Utilities ▹ Terminal
from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open. In that window, type this:
resetp
Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
resetpassword
Press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’re not going to reset a password.
Select your startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.

Where is the file management utility on my HP Pavilion dv5-1150us Entertainment notebook pc?

I am trying to hookup a WD My Passport Ultra 2TB external drive for backup on my notebook. It tells me to check the file management utility to see if the WD File Setup is listed. How do I go to and find that utility?

Hi,
Try the following.
Download the IDT Audio installer on the link below and save it to your Downloads folder.
http://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp41501-42000/sp41698.exe
When done, open windows Control Panel, open Device Manager and open up Sound, Video and Game Controllers. Right click the IDT device and select Uninstall - you should also get a prompt to remove the current driver, tick the box to allow this and then proceed with the uninstall.
When complete,download and reinstall the Chipset driver on the link below.
Chipset Driver - Windows Vista.
When the reinstallation has completed, shut down the notebook, unplug the AC Adapter and then remove the battery. Hold down the Power button for 30 seconds. Re-insert the battery and plug in the AC Adapter.
Tap away at the esc key as you start the notebook to launch the Start-up Menu and then select f10 to enter the bios menu. Press f5 to load the defaults ( this is sometimes f9, but the menu at the bottom will show the correct key ), use the arrow keys to select 'Yes' and hit enter. Press f10 to save the setting and again use the arrow keys to select 'Yes' and hit enter.
Let Windows fully load - it will automatically load an audio driver, but just let this complete. Then open your Downloads folder, right click on the IDT installer and select 'Run as Administrator' to start the installation. When this has completed, right click the speaker icon in the Taskbar and select Playback Devices. Left click 'Speakers and Headphones' once to highlight it and then click the Set Default button - check if you now have audio.

Can't see files on MAC from File Manager on Passport

Don't know if this is truly a Link issue, but in File Manager on the Passport (both in 10.3.0 and 10.3.1.1581) I have the option of selecting either of my Mac's (both Yosemite, both on the same network) in the device menu. However no amount of waiting ever shows files on the computer.
This is such a great feature it would be great if it worked.
If I create a folder in the Passport on the Mac, I can see that. If I add files to it on the Passport or the Mac I can see them.
I have removed all the folders in Link and re-added them. I initially started with having my Home open, but also tried just Documents folder, or Music. Same result. The only difference is where the test folder is created on the Mac when I add a folder on the Passport.
Are there settings on the Mac to allow this?

Go to Solution.

Both Macs on Yosemite. Have not been successful at loading on old XP computer as it creates a VPN connection which will not connect to the Internet.
I did notice on the Mac that I now have a new admin user - access-bpf. Don't know what this is I did not add it and I am the administrator. I added it to the file sharing user list with full access, but no difference. So I removed it from the access list - no difference. So I then removed the account - no difference.

IPad Photo file management

While traveling light in Europe, iPad (and iPhone) only, I would directly load a few select photos from the camera (Sony A7 24mp full frame sensor) SD card. The problem is, these were full size files and way to large for simple Facebook postings, and even email with slow 2 or 3G or spotty wifi. Found an excellent free app, BatchResizer, to reduce the original 6000px on the longest side to a more manageable 1500px. The problem is, I now have 2 copies of the same print on the iPad but nothing tells me which is the large one and which is the reduced size one. I would like to free up space by deleting the originals which average 8000kb and retain the reduced size around 150kb as all on the SD card are/will be saved on my desktop. IS there a way to find file size through the iPad's internal file management system - which I couldn't find, or a decent app that will accomplish this? The free ones didn't and hesitant to buy only to find out that it doesn't. Attaching to the computer for the iPad to be seen as a separate drive is out of the question, as I am traveling light and the only computer would be the hotel's.

Seems to be a good approach. However,
Depending on how much disk space on the local drive and the speed of the external along with the iMac specs... you might keep the the library on the iMac instead of the external, but keep the masters on the external. Assuming referenced, then you could keep the vault on the external (as is I wouldn't put vault on the same external drive as both the masters and library).

Good file-manager for OpenBox? (with icons)

I tried rox with the magickthumbnails and videothumbmails, but havent got it working yet.
I am now trying thunar, but it has dull generic icons. Everything looks like a piece of paper. I'm sure it'd look good if I was running XFCE.
Is there a standard/common file-manager for use with openbox? Preferably one with icons for different file-types.

Set nautilus as default file manager in kde?

I would give kde a good chance, but I have several issues with konqueror. Is it possible to set nautilus as the default file manager in kde? I have started nautilus from kde before.
Is this possible?

OK then. Install nautilus.
control center > file associations > inode > directory [ then add: "nautilus --no-desktop" ] (make sure it's primary in the list)
You'll not be able to open KIO slaves such as media:// with nautilus though. Maybe you should create launchers on the desktop running "nautilus --no-desktop computer://" etc?
There are some other cosmetic changes you can do as well, such as installing gnome-volume-manager, gnome-settings-dameon, gnome-control-center etc.
Another way is just to add "nautilus --no-desktop" as default application for inode > directory, but don't add it as *primary*, but secondary application, so you can right click and choose "open with nautilus" on the desktop/konqueror.
I've successfully run a complete nautilus desktop replacing konqueror as root window and file manager, and it works really good actually.
I did uncheck "icons on desktop" and disabled wallpaper in kcontrol.
Had to disable "hal backend" in kde to let gnome-volume-manager take care of hal mounts; "HalBackendEnabled=false" in .kde/share/config/mediamanagerrc
Then i had to run "gnome-settings-daemon &" in .kde/Autostart/startup (this file should be executable, as usual) (nautilus itself is a GUI application and will survive the next session on it's own, because of KDE session managment)
I took the easy route and installed the whole "gnome" metapackage instead of selective packages though.
The only problem was that kedit.desktop didn't want to start as default application for say, text files, but i had to enter kedit manually in that box you get during "open with dialog".
I bastardized KDE, i know
It was worth it! hehe
BTW dolphin/d3lphin is really good too, as lucke pointed out.
