File Explorer similar to Xfe?

Hi.
Xfe can't be build without building an older version of fox too in Arch...
So, the question: is there a file explorer like Xfe that's as good or even better?

hmm. I did the last xfe pkg. you can downgrade to previous FOX or wait for new xfe to come out [that would play ok with latest fox]
other (not so similar) file managers
gentoo, nautilus [which I really like with new spatial mode]
go http://bliss-solutions.org/archlinux/incoming/ and choose File Manager and just click the button
I'm using gnome-commander:
http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?t=1681
ftp://ftp.archlinux.org/incoming/gnome- … 0-1.tar.gz
enjoy
EDIT: it doesn't run anymore. I tried to make a new PKGBUILD for the latest version but it doesn't compile. [maybe because of latest gcc version? not sure..]

Windows 8.1 Pro File Explorer Extremely Slow

Hello,
I am using Windows 8.1 Professional, and since a short time, I am having troubles with the file explorer.
It is extremely slow. When I just want to select a file, it takes about 10 seconds, if not more, and then any operation I perform on files (opening directories, renaming files, right-clicking for options, etc.) is terribly slow.
I have looked at the indexing options and tried to minimize the areas that are indexed, but to no avail. Even with only C:/Users indexed, I have about 500,000 items indexed.
Here are my PC specifications:
1. 32 GB of RAM
2. Intel core i7 3.50 GHz with 4 cores
3. 240 GB SSD in RAID + 3 TB Western Digital Black Edition in RAID
Do you have any ideas on how I could solve this? Also, I would like not having to clean-install my PC.
Regards,
Jeremie

AMS-DIS, perhaps you're talking about a different level of problem than the person who started this thread.
Just because you've seen it personally doesn't make it automatically a systemic Microsoft problem. While I don't disagree that Explorer could be better programmed, there ARE those of us who don't see regular crashes, freezes, or particularly slow operation.
Keeping in mind that external drives have to spin up, and that can be perceived as taking some time when you access the drive in Explorer, once spun up you shouldn't be seeing noticeable delay.
If you are, please quantify what you're seeing with some specifics.
Here's what I see:
When I first navigate to my spun-down MyBook external USB drive I see the contents of the root folder instantly.
When I navigate a level or two into the folder structure I see a few second delay when it gets deep enough that the data is not cached and the drive has to spin up to get it.
Then, once spun up, when I navigate into any folder its contents show up instantly.
When I copy a file by dragging to/from the drive or do a backup to the drive I see a substantial percentage of the theoretical maximum transfer speed (I have USB2).
If you are not seeing performance similar to the above then you have something out of the ordinary set up on your particular system that's causing it. You should never be seeing crashes. I don't.
Now, that being said, when transferring multiple files / folders, I *do* see a fair bit of slowdown in transfer rate, implying something's being throttled back by Explorer or there's way too much end to end communication, even between SSDs.
I've wondered whether Explorer is slowing things down just so you can see them happen in its progress dialog. Windows XP used to be faster at copying big blocks of multiple files even 13 years ago.

How do I add a file explorer to my website

Hello,
I am currently in the process of building my website. I require a file explorer facility that will enable me to browse and download documents from the web page. I like the APACHE style browsing facility e.g you can see an example of it here: http://www.malvern.plus.com/backup/
Can anyone please tell me how I can integrate this or any other similar facility in my web page. Any advice is appreciated.
d.

Thanks for the reply but I don't think I was clear
enough:
Basically is there some way that will allow me to
browse
my web site like a file index? In other words, is
there something that will show me a website like the
pages Apache generates when there is no index.html? Is
there any clever way of doing this without using
javascript and ASP ...?
Cheers
DaveWhat you see on the apache website are infact not html files nor any other files.actually they are actual directories that are residing on the unix box
You can do that by allowing directory browsing for your application
BTW is your application keen on sharing files

The File Explorer does not show links in the folder structure on a computer

Dear all,
My general issue is that, when I connect my Z10 (SW release 10.2.1.2102) via USB, the File Explorer shows some folders from the connected PC. It does not list folders that are links on the computer.
A lot of those links are duplicates in a different language (because of the multilingual version of Windows 7). My particular issue is that I had to move my Documents folder to another disc and created a hardlink to that folder on the primary SSD disc. Now, this link does not show up at all in the File Explorer on my Z10 device.
Anybody knows a workaround, please? Maybe it exists another file manager similar to that one by BB, which could do that...
Thanks for reading!
Cheers,

If you look at the browser use stats you'll see that its kind of useless to preview your site in Safari...

Sharing a website on your computer
You can use the Apache web server software included with Mac OS X to host a website on your computer. Before doing so, you should already know how to create HTML pages and build websites.
To host a website on your computer:
Use the HTML editor of your choice to create your website. For your site’s homepage, use the filename “index.html” so that web browsers can locate and open it automatically.
Put all of your website’s pages, graphics, and any media files in your home directory’s Sites folder.The existing index.html page will be replaced with your new index.html page.
Choose Apple menu > System Preferences and click Sharing.
Select the Web Sharing checkbox.
To view webpages you put in your Sites folder:
Open a web browser and go to http://your.computer.address/~yourusername/.
To find your computer’s address, choose Apple menu > System Preferences, and then select Web Sharing. The address is displayed in the window.
For “yourusername,” use your account name, and make sure you include the ending slash (/). To find your account name, choose Apple menu > System Preferences, click Accounts, and then select your account in the list.
You can also share a website on your computer by placing files in /Library/WebServer/Documents on your hard disk. To place files there, you must be logged in as an administrator. To view these pages, open a web browser and go to http://your.computer.address.

How to make a file explorer work under certain conditions

Good afternoon,
I have built a VI that is basically a file explorer that lets you import data to another application, when a button is clicked, you can navigate throught the directories of your pc searching for a txt file to import and plot some ghraphs. I used the property node "Visible" to show up this file explorer as a window, so every time i click the button, it shows up, but I realize it is processing even if its not being used, like a process running in second plan, thats why I want to make it different, I want to make it run only when the button aforementioned is on true, and to make it I have tried stuff like wiring the button to the loop condition, using a case structure with the button wired and nothing seems to work. How could I do that?
I appreciate your help,

First of all, thank you for your answer, Hooovahh. I am not an expert programmer, I really dont know the problems around the infinite loop, and dont know what are the issues around thhe abort execution, could you tell me?
To understand this idea, think of yourself as a VI. You're sent to cook a full meal in the kitchen. This meal is complex enough it'll require several burners, the sink, a cutting board, and trips to the fridge and cupboards. I tell you to start cooking and you go about your business getting things going. At some point, I come in and drag you out of the kitchen and don't allow you to go back. What state is the kitchen in? Is the fridge open? Is the freezer open? Are the burners on? Is the oven on? Is the oven closed? Will things on the stove boil over creating a mess and potentially a fire? Who knows? You're creating the same mess when you hit the abort button. You're forcing yourself into an uncertain situation that may cause more problems than taking the thirty seconds it'd take to turn your burners off, turn off the oven, and close the fridge door. You WANT to have a cleanup routine in case things need to stop similar to getting the kitcen into a safe state before leaving.
With an embedded system, there isn't the typical user interface so if it stops, it's likely stopped for a LONG time. These typically run infinitely until something goes wrong and they shut themselves down. When you can put a stop button on the front panel and use that, it makes worlds more sense than leaving the kitchen in disarray.

Windows 8 FTP Folder in File Explorer - Interface Not Supported

I access my FTP site Via Windows Explorer in Windows 7 and Have tried doing the same via File Explorer in Windows 8
When I double click a File in the FTP folder, whereas in W7 It would download a copy and open the file, In W8 I receive the error Interface Not Supported.
Does anyone know of a fix for this?
Thanks in advance.
Tim

I remember seeing something similar happen in Windows Explorer on W7 after I installed Google Chrome, however this was happening right from first install on W8.
I seem to remember the solution in W7 was a registry fix but I'm not sure whether this would work in W8
Ravenstar68
Edit
Just remembered it wouldn't let you create the ftp site in W7 so was a different problem
I was waiting to see if you brought that up.
When I first made the standard ftp shortcut (the kind that opens IE), it had no association. That green bird-foot arrow icon comes from OpenWith.exe.
Double-clicking the shortcut brought up a very reduced-choice metro dialog. Those were the only choices. No OpenWith browse options there.
There wasn't even a Open With... choice in the right-click dialog.
I was curious to see what might happen if I made the wrong choice. It was very unforgiving.
No obvious way to fix it. No OpenWith right-click context menu.
I had to reassociate ftp elsewhere.
Even now that I have everything straightened out, the right-click menus don't offer OpenWith.
The left pic above shows the ordinary IE ftp shortcut. I can drag-n-drop it into Firefox and it works. But there's no OpenWith option for that.
The right pic above shows the File Explorer ftp shortcut. What in the world is that "Open folder location" option? It launches IE to my (blank) home page. Hmm?
Just thought I'd share all this with you, since you brought up initializing ftp access.
Deluxe in some ways, but pretty ragged in others.

File Explorer Customization - Adding Groups to Tabs?

A similar question has been asked on a different Thread but doesn't answer mine. link - http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/a370afb3-712f-4535-8a3f-ebe1f04a1002/file-explorer-ribbon-customization?forum=w8itprogeneral
In say Excel for example. I can have the option of Customizing various Tabs (Home, Insert, Data, etc).
I would like to know if there is any way to do something similar for File Explorer?
Basically I've found I want easy/often access to the View:Layout and View:Show/Hide Groups. So it makes sense to me that I should want those Groups, or at least the ability to add them, on the Home Tab.
There doesn't seem to be anything close in any group policy settings as per the answer in the link.

Hi,
To easy access to View, you can try to lock the Ribbon. I doubt there is no any other way except this to achieve your goal. This is design by default.

Hello Govind,
Make the target str as below
<root>
<Row>
<OrderNo></OrderNo>
<OrderDesc></OrderDesc>
<Matno></Matno>,
<Desc></Desc>
<Qty></Qty>
<UOM></UOM>
</Row>
</root>
The mapping for elements
<Matno>,<Desc>,<Qty>,<UOM> is straight-forward. The node <Row> can be mapped to <OrderItem> node in source. For orderNo and OrderDesc you need to use advanced UDF (with entire queue cached) as below.
public void getOrderNo(String[] a,String[] b,ResultList result, Container container){
/Declare a vector to store unique Order Numbers /Order Desc/
Vector vOno = new Vector();
     for (int i = 0;i<a.length;i++){
     if (a<i>.equals()ResultList.CC) continue;
     /Add distinct Order numbers to the vector/
     if(!vOno.contains(a<i>)) vOno.add(a<i>);
int headerCounter = 0;
String value = new String();
value = (String) vOno.get(headerCounter);
     for (int j = 0;j<b.length;j++){
     /When context changes, move to next order no/
     if (b[j].equals()ResultList.CC){
                   headerCounter++;
                   value = (String) vOno.get(headerCounter);
                  continue;
     /Repeat the current order number/Order Desc until a context change occurs/
     result.addValue(value);
The mapping for OrderNo can be like below:
Pass <Order No> from Header to the UDF as array a[] and <OrderItem> from Item as array b[]. Take the output of the function and make it SplitByValue the result of which can be passed to OrderNo. The context of both < Order No> and <OrderItem> has to be one level higher.
Similar mapping for OrderDesc can be made using the same UDF
I hope that resolves your problem.
Regards
Amit

HP Envy 1414 Windows 8.1 Desktop - File Explorer hangs, time stops on taskbar

Hello,
The problem I'm having seems to occur atleast every day. When the problem starts, the desktop background (picture slideshow) will go to a black picture, and I often notice that the time is incorrect, and often stuck. Also when this happens, the items on the taskbar will either be in the wrong spot, or invisible, and when I click on one icon it may or may not open a different one. The only thing that seems to correct this is by hitting ctrl+alt+del and signing out and then back in. The other problem happens less frequently, and what happens is when I click on anything in file explorer, such as a video or a picture file, file explorer will stop responding. This does not seem to happen as often as it used to. I seem to be having the primary issue more often since I updated to 8.1 last month.
Any insight on this issue will be greatly appreciated. I can't seem to find a similar problem with the same product on other web pages.

Hello @ThunderSloth36,
I understand that your HP ENVY 1414 running Windows 8.1 will freeze forcing you to log out and log back in. I am providing you with an Microsoft Support document:Windows 8.1, Windows 8 or Windows 7 hangs or freezes, which Microsoft has developed to address the issue that you are experiencing.

Hi,
It seems that the issue is explorer.exe crashing. Since the issue can always be caused by incompatible shell extension or driver conflict.
We can first use shellexView to disable non-Microsoft related extensions of Windows Explorer to see what’s going on:
1. Download ShellExView v1.41 from the following link
http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/shexview.zip
Please Note: The third-party product discussed here is manufactured by a company that is independent of Microsoft. We make no warranty, implied or otherwise,
regarding this product's performance or reliability.
2. Extract "shexview.zip" file and open shexview.exe. It will scan the registry for all the shell extensions.
3. Select all the non-Microsoft extensions in pink by press "Ctrl" in the keyboard.
4. Click the "Disable Selected Items" on the toolbar and click Yes.
5. Restart your computer and check if the issue is resolved.
If the issue persists, then test the issue in Clean Boot and Safe Mode, and let me know the results.
Meanwhile, please configure Windows to create user-mode dumps. Create a System Restore Point first.
If you copy and paste the following in Notepad and save as a .reg file, then right-click the .reg file and select "Merge" to add to the registry, a .dmp file at the time explorer.exe crashes should be created in the C:\CrashDumps folder:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Windows Error Reporting\LocalDumps\explorer.exe]
"DumpFolder"=hex(2):43,00,3a,00,5c,00,43,00,72,00,61,00,73,00,68,00,44,00,75,\
00,6d,00,70,00,73,00,00,00
After Explorer (explorer.exe) crashes, can you then make the .dmp file available (provide link) via Windows Live SkyDrive or similar site?

Offline Files - Where is the "Work Online" Button in File Explorer (when connected to company network)?

I have windows 8.1 Pro. I connected a network drive and was able to set up some of the contents as available offline. When I connect to the VPN, however, and go into file explorer - for that drive, it indicates the state as "Offline (background
sync)" and will not allow me to make other folders/files under the mapped drive as available offline or to open any of these. How can I change this state so I am working online? (Also, sync is not running). Thank you for your help.

Hello Liz Braden,
Do you mean that when you use VPN and can’t sync offline folder?
If yes, please take a look at the following thread similar to this issue.

Bridge(CS3) conflict with Windows file explorer

Bridge will crash on me at least twice a day. I use Bridge and Windows file explorer simultaneously copying and moving files across a network. When Bridge quits I sometimes lose my network connection and have a lot of trouble re-connecting.
I have done the usual delete preference, trash cache etc., nothing seems to be working.

Not sure what is going on there, but have a suggestion. You are increasing your odds of Bridge crashing, and trashing the cache, if you move too fast. When in Bridge wait for the spinning arrow in lower left corner to stop (it is building the thumbs) before changing folders.
Don't see any correlation between network connection and Bridge crashing. Perhaps if you have a slow computer you are overloading it with tasks and it can not keep up. Minimize programs running at same time.
Also, run task manager and see what the processor is doing. If CPU useage goes up markedly that will confirm the problem.

Can't Open File Explorer -- How can I reset the Quick Access Toolbar from outside of File Explorer?

First of all, this is not a virus. This is my a bug within windows explorer itself.
So, I added the properties button to the QAT, and it displayed it as an expandable menu, like this: ";" but with small arrows like this: ">". didn't want this, I wanted to click on it and immediately display the properties of the file
to me. So, I hovered over it, right-clicked on "Properties" in this menu and added it to the QAT. Of course, this crashes File Explorer. Now whenever I try and open it, it crashes, so I have to assume that the corrupted button has been saved.
So, my question is: How do I reset the QAT from OUTSIDE of file explorer? Regedit magic? Any ideas?
Thanks for stopping by,
Trolleyman.
Edit: Just so you know, I can navigate through my systems files using the 7-zip file manager. Phew.

Thanks from me too, Niki. This first happened with Windows 8.0 File Manager a week ago,, and despite much research I couldn't discover the cause so eventually I resorted to restoring the system drive from backup (luckily I make daily backups,
so didn't lose much work).
Without knowing the cause a few days later I again tried to alter the Quick Access Toolbar and the problem reappeared. Should I again resort to restoring the entire system drive, the thought horrified me. But
luckily while doing a bit more research prior to resorting to the same drastic recovery, I cane across this post of yours and it worked!
It doesn't seem to be happening with Office 2007's or Wordpad's Quick Access Toolbar, so presumably it's a File Explorer bug (a.k.a. Windows Explorer in Windows 7, of course). Have Microsoft recorded this as
a bug -- if not, why not -- and when are they coming up with a fix?

Error: "We're having a problem opening this location on file explorer. Add this website to your trusted sites list and try again"

Hello,
When i try to open document library from SharePoint Production portal then it throws the specified error. However, when i open document library from SharePoint Development portal then it opens it in file explorer quite easily.
Production portal is on https whereas development portal is on http. Also, UAG has been configured on production portal.
Any idea where it's getting stuck up? Surely, this is not a browser issue on Windows 7 as it's opening the development portal's document library on the same machine.
I've also done following things:
- Configured Desktop Experience on production environment
- Installed the hotfix for Windows 7

Sohaib Khan

Hello Sohaib.
Here is the list of causes defined here.Hope it helps you
The cause and the resolution methods are the following:
Cause: There is a missing Root site collection...
Resolution: Check and ensure, that the “Managed Paths” are not changed in the web Application’s page, there is a (root) explicit for
this web application and there is a working Root site collection.
If for any reason this is not the case in your environment, you may try the following:
- Apply (if not already) the following Hotfix to one of those clients:
Error when you open a SharePoint Document Library in Windows Explorer or map a network drive to the library after you install Internet Explorer 10 in Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2846960
Then, try to delete the cache of the IE browser before reproducing the issue. Check the result..
- Try to temporarily disable the Antivirus and test again.
- Check if you have installed the Desktop Experience feature on the SPS13 server.
- Check if you face this behavior with all users, Or only with some specific ones, Or with all different client OSes..
Otherwise you will need to collect the logs to further analyze...
