File Manager Issue on Z10

Anyone else having this issue - my File Manager started appearing blank and I can not view any of the folder (files) and can't change between my SD card, Box accoutn and Device.  It was working no problem up until a couple of days ago. I tried resetting my Z10 and still no luck.
Hoepfuylly someone can help.
Thanks.

It appears that my SD card is corrupt - it was causing the issues.  I removed it and had no problems with it. So looks liek the OS is fine.

  • Final Cut Pro X File Management Issues

    I have several issues
    1. Does anyone know if it is possible to import from camera to the standard Mac file system?  I can't see a way to avoid importing media in the FCP library and I definitely DON"T want any of my media files in the FCP library.
    2. Also I know I can copy the media files out of FCP back into the file system but I am not sure how to delete the FCP copy and re-point everything to the media I have stored in a proper file structure on a specific media disk.
    3. It doesn't seem to be possible to have FCP default new libraries to a media drive - it only wants to create them on the boot drive and the library has to be moved manually.  Am I missing something?
    4. Backup is an issue now - it looks like a change to any component within a library will trigger a backup of the whole library - it certainly does with the backup software I am using, and who knows what Time Machine does with FCP libraries... (but Time Machine DOES appear to delete files without notice when it runs out of space, so it is not suitable for any environment where permanent data retention is an issue - so beware...)
    ps: don't EVER use the "move to library" function.  If it crashes you won't get a reason, you can't undo or recover, and the originals may be deleted even though the media never made it to the other library.  This is not good...

    Hi Tom:  It was "Move Event to Library" that crashed, deleting the media from the originating library but not copying it to the new library.
    I lot of my issues are down to lack of familiarity with the new interface after migrating from the old Final Cut; manuals which are incomplete or in error; courseware created in earlier versions of Pro X and which have not been updated, and what I regard as counter-intuituive defaults and assumptions by the Apple development team.  I spend a lot of time searching for answers:  For instance I spent at least an hour searching in the manual and on the net for a way to extract or move the media from an FCP library.  I came up with nothing.  It would never have occurred to me to search for the term "consolidate".
    Another thing that caused me an issue was that I copied a library from one drive to the other to create a backup before I started trying to regularise the media locations in the original library.  I changed the name of the backed up library in file manager.  When I open it, FCP still uses the old name - hence a library which is opened on one disk and appears to point to data on another.  In fact I hadn't noticed that there were two libraries of the same name open at the same time in FCP - the apparently duplicated library was in fact the backup library on the other disk which was renamed in file manager but not in FCP.
    In iTunes and Aperture, which both use this bundled library approach, you can only open one library at a time.  FCP is different - and I have no problem with this, but any user familiar with the other products would assume, as I did, that FCP worked the same way.  That it does not gives rise to the possibility of confusion.
    FCP is a very complex piece of software.  That means it is impossible to make it easy for a first timer to understand - an experienced Final Cut user has to unlearn as much as he or she has to learn - and all this places much greater reliance on the manuals.  The writers of the manuals need to try and put themselves in the heads of their users and make sure that their TOC, Index and terminology corresponds to the thinking of the user - not the new terms they have created for the new version (e.g.: "consolidate media" - which means extract media from the library and move it into the file system, but who would know?)
    In an environment where the file sizes are enormous; a library may contain several hundred clips and audio tracks organised in various events and projects; FCP can crash and "disappear" media; the manual is hard to search and the software behaves in an unexpected manner (library names in FCP do not necessarily correspond to the actual name of the library on disk and multiple copies of a library can all be open at the same time, with the same name) this all creates a great deal of stress.  One mistake and a great deal of work can be lost irretrievably.
    However, with your advice, I have consolidated the media files from my largest library and confirmed that the library holds only the metadata now.  However, the new file organisation is unusable, so I will now need to change the file names and reorganise them into subfolders that make sense to me - I guess I will find out if this breaks FCP's links.  At the same time I have to figure out which files in the original file structure correspond to the newly extracted files so that I only have a single set.
    My big mistake was to copy the files into the library in the first place.  This is the default, and also recommended on the Lynda courseware (which was created on an earlier version of FCP).  Since most of my existing files were imported in the old version of FCP prior to the upgrade (so already on disk), this meant creating duplicates of all files initially. However, all the newer files are only in the libraries and not in the file system - reconciling this now is tricky.   Since I retrieve SD cards on my notebook in the field and then copy to my Mac Pro, some of the new files have ended up in the file system and not in the library.  I am yet to find out whether FCP will automatically pick up new files added directly to the file system, or whether they have to be "imported" through FCP before FCP can see them.
    The overhead of all this duplication is enormous and the inconsistencies tricky, and it is only now that I understand better how FCP Pro X works (and that it can lose stuff) that I now realise I have to undo all of this and move the media back into file manager and out of the libraries.
    If you have to transition to a new, and radically different, version in the middle of a project you really need to understand all the implications.  I did not.  And now that I do, it is difficult, stressful and time consuming to sort out.
    If I were able to go back and give myself some advice it would be to ignore the defaults, create logical and sensible file structures for all your media, keep all media out of the libraries and use the file structure to force FCP to organise your clips in a logical manner so that you don't then have to go through and laboriously assign keywords to organise them in FCP.
    I don't know if the way I work is very different to other film-makers.  This is a doco - typically around 5% of what is shot will make it into the final program, and I double that because I use three cameras a lot of the time.  That's about 40 hours of HD plus WAV audio files.  Some of the clips are an hour in length and impossible to synch between the cameras until they are chopped up and new combined clips created - this is very laborious!  An hour of HDD is about 400GB (more if I shoot raw) - so there will be about 2TB of data associated with this doco by the time I finish shooting.  In an interview I record a separate audio track - and I generally use this as the master track since it is the only clip which can be guaranteed to run for the full duration.  But FCP Pro X assumes that the master track will be a video file and it is not possible to add an audio file to the timeline first.  I found a workaround - but, again, I am fighting FCP and the developer's preconceived ideas about how people might use this software.
    Apart from the doco itself various other projects use the same media - but I don't want these projects cluttering up the doco library which is already cluttered enough.  If the media is in the library I have to copy clips to other libraries for these other projects, leading to more duplication.  Its another reason to move the media out of the library and another indication that FCP was not really designed for large projects.
    Even just within a single library, file management is unsuited to the volume of files I use.  For reasons known only to themselves, the FCP developers have used a very specific view of the file organisation - and its not the view I use in file manager (which is the column view).  That makes using the file management in FCP very cumbersome - but its essential if you have a large number of clips.  My smallest library takes 30 minutes to copy from one Thunderbolt2 disk to another, so creating a backup before changing things in a library is not a trivial event.
    Also, the keyword process is clumsy and, I think, poorly conceived but it is the only way to organise clips if you haven't created a file structure prior to import.  I haven't yet figured out how to erase the keywords I used for one event so that I can reassign the keywords for use in another event.  But I assume that means that if I go back to the first event, I will have to put all the keywords back in - or ignore the shortcut keys and type them manually (which is necessary for much of the time anyway because there are only 9 - a good indication of the size of the projects for which this software was designed).  Also, oddly, there is no shortcut key that I can find for turning on/off the keyword window - which is annoying because it takes up a lot of screen real estate).  It is issues like this that leave the impression that FCP has been conceived as a kind of iMovie + and that it just isn't architected for real-world proper film making.  It can be bent to that, and it has some nice features, but I find myself fighting it a lot of the time.
    After all of this I can't find a reason why Apple would create library "files" anyway.  What advantage does this provide over the standard file system?  What are the implications for backups?  (If you are backing up incrementally only the components within a library then how can you be sure any version of the actual library file is current?  And if not, then is any minor change to any file in the library going to trigger a full backup of everything - (in this case 1TB+)?  And how does this differ between various backup options?  Again, assuming FCP users are mostly making home movies, with small file sizes and using Time Machine then a library concept might make sense.  But that is iMovie thinking.  And that Apple have implemented a "move to library" function without any transactional integrity (no deletions should be made until the successful copy is confirmed) further underpins the non-professional positioning of this product.
    I hope it improves with age...
    But thanks again for your help - it was timely and very much appreciated.

  • File Manager issue

    Hi,
    I have just updated the IdeaPad Tablet K1 after using it for two and half days. After all updates commited successfully, the File Manager and few other apps have stopped working.
    What to do?
    Confused.
    Thanks.

    there are plenty of better File Manager apps out there ... I would recommend ditching the stock one

  • How delete unwanted system sync in file manager?

    Hello!  As a result of testing Z10 10.1.0.2014, Blackberry Link wifi sync of files with my Windows PC, I have extra repositories listed in File Manager on the Z10.  The list shows "Device", "Media Card", "Box", and also "LT2", "LT2-1 (offline)" and "LT2-2".  The string LT2 represents the PC's hostname. 
    I would like to delete the "LT2" and "LT2-1" entries from File Manager's list, as the Link feature does not work for them (early tests).  Also I would then like to rename "LT2-2" (which does work) to just "LT2".
    How can I do that?  If not presently possible, please consider this a feature request.
    I think this is a File Manager feature request, not a Blackberry Link request.
    Thanks,

  • Paste / Move issue in all Android file manager ports

    So as everyone here knows a proper file manager is a must for every single OS and the PB doesn't pack one out of the box.
    Air Browser seems to be the only free native one but it doesn't allow to browse outside "/accounts/1000/ shared" and the UI could be improved imho (not a fan of how the author split the different operations menu in 3 depending on it involving files, folders or cache... plus it lack multiple folder selection). So as a complement I use Ghost Commander which is available in App World.
    Last week I tried to use Ghost commander as my sole file manager only to discover it can't copy / move files in "/accounts/1000/ shared". Then I tried most Android file managers available in App World only to find out they have the same issue!
    Here's what I mean:
    1- Using any Android ported file manager copy/cut/paste a pdf, doc, xls... form/to a folder inside "/accounts/1000/ shared". Example
    2- Aparently the file is moved to the desired folder. Example
    3- Now open it... Example
    4- Regardless the file type (I tried a pdf here) the associated you will only get an error message stating the path isn't valid... Example
    The time I tried this I was moving a folder with docs using Ghost Commander and afterwards it seemed as if I had lost my files (couldn't open them in the device and couldn't see them in my computer when I connected the PB)!
    The only way I found I could recover them was:
    1- Using any Android file manager copy the files to anywhere inside "/sdcard". Example
    2- Using AIr Browser (didn't try any other native file manager since they are paid) go to /misc/android/folder_where_you_copied_the_files_to and copy them to any folder outside "misc". Example
    Thanks for the scare RIM! Makes me wonder if any proper testing is done to the apps before these are acepted in BBAW.
    Don't know if this is an issue caused by the emulator, the sandboxing process or if it's an issue in the way all the Android apps were coded... But it must be fixed.
    As every single bug report I wrote here before I ask any informed user / mod /developer who reads this to send it to the right person and to inform me on how how I can do so correctly the next time.

  • Bluetooth file transfer from BB Z10 to Windows 7 Laptop

    I have my BBZ10 (OS 10.2.0.424) successfully paired with Windows 7 Laptop. I often use the BBZ10 BT Internet Teethering. It works very well.
    However, when I want to transfer a file from BBZ10 to my Laptop. I follow this process
    In the background the Internet Teethering is ON, and working
    select the file in Z10 File Manager.
    click on share icon to share using BLUETOOTH
    Before pressing the name of my paired devices on Z10. I click Bluetooth icon on laptop and select 'receive a file'. This opens a box showing the laptop is waiting in receive mode.
    Then I select my paired computer name on Z10 to initiate transfer.
    The transfer bar appears on Z10 showing the progress, but in 4-5 seconds, it says 'TRANSFER CANCELLED'.
     And on my laptop it says 'BLUETOOTH FILE TRANSFER NOT COMPLETED'.
    i have used exactly same process with my BB 9800 several times with success.
    Another thing I note is, if the Internet teethering is OFF, I cannot turn BT connection to the laptop on. It come up with error message ' Cant' connect , you must turn on internet teethering on yoru device.'
    Please troubleshoot.

    hi eddie-n200,
    Can you send a file from the laptop to the cellphone? If you can, check if the "Allow remote devices to browse, send, and receive pictures, music, and other files" option is enabled on the BT settings:
    Spoiler (Highlight to read)
    As an alternative, you may also want to try Bluesoleil or similar software to send/receive from the laptop.

  • How do I... (1) "play" a ppt; (2) "see" my sub-folder​s and their files in "Docs To Go" or "File Manager"?

    This is written for the Playbook blog writer in the hope that he will see it here and post a blog answer. However, a reply from anyone would be appreciated. Thanks.
    [2 questions about PPBB OS 2.0+]
    Hi. Thanks for your very informative blog. I would appreciate it if you would consider writing blog tips to answer the following:
    1) Why can't I organize my files in "Documents" or "File Manager" to "see" them in their sub-folders?
    BBPB allows me to create SUB folders in the Documents folder, through my pc's access to the "Documents" folder in the Playbook. However, then I cannot "see" these created sub-folders on my BBPB after I disconnect my BBPB from my PC.
    All the files I downloaded into these "sub" folders end up all together in the file list in "DOCS TO GO", either in "Documents" or "Music" or "Video" or "Pictures" ---- but these files are NOT separated into the sub-folders I created. The same thing happens in "FILE MANAGER" i.e. all files on the Playbook are in ONE place only.
    Is the Playbook OS ever going to allow one to view sub-folders and what is in them, other than using the pc to do it? For example, it would be desirable to put all my ppt files into one folder.
    2) How do I "play" a PPT file in the BBPB?
    The BBPB "User Guide" says that I can "view, edit, or play" Powerpoint Presentations. However, although it describes how to "view" or "edit" individual slides, it does not say how to "play" ("run") a slideshow. How do you "play" a self-running slideshow?
    For example, in Windows, you can click "play.bat" (in a saved "presentation cd" folder on a cd or USB stick) to run the ppt with sound and pictures saved in that folder (you don't need the Powerpoint program itself for this, since you are using the "pptview.exe" file in the same folder to "play" it). However, after downloading all the files in this "presentation cd" folder to the Playbook, I could only see one of them, the ppt file itself ---- and there is no icon in the Playbook to "play" the slideshow, it seems. Help?!
     Thank you.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    First, I use an app called "File Browser" to view those subfolders.
    As for running a powerpoint, I can open a ppt file and it runs in Documents to go. Next to the "Close" button there are three icons. The third one runs the ppt file as a slideshow.

  • File Management in C5-03

    Recently i was buying Nokia C5-03 because it has both 3g & Wifi as well as the price is
    affordable. i am happy with this phone except some issues regards to file management. unlike the basic Nokia OS, here i couldn't find a way to manage my files easily. as an example, if i want to move some files from Image Gallery to a New Folder by Marking what i want to move, there is no option maybe still i could not. as well as does anybody know, if there's 3rd party file management software to download i beleive it will assist me on this concern.

    Sorry but i don't have idea wher to post my problem. I have C503 and problem with the camera( always when i record video and sometimes with pictures) . During recording a video everithing is ok but when i want to watch( on telephone and on pc) recording is very bad ( slow, no sound, i see pixels and video is not clear) .When i use camera to shot pictures sometimes telephone just don't want to store my images ( no to card and no to tel memory ) .
    Camera setings is on very high, 5 mega pixel for images and TV quality for video recording.
    Sorry if my english is not so good, best regards!
    PS: My C503 is purchased in april 2011 from authorised distributor and in may was already bean in service beacuse changing the display and softver problem.

  • Is there any downside to using a reference type library if I use Time Capsule and will do file management only from within Aperture?

    Have done a lot of reading to get prepared to convert to Aperture 3 and have this question regarding setting up my library type.
    I'm not a professional -just a heavy user hobbyist.
    It appears that the major factors in using reference style is to backup the images with Time Capsule and always do moves or deletes from within the Aperture application.
    If my architecture matters here's what I have that may be involved in photo management and editing:
    iMac (latest 27" high power version with lots of memory)
    Internal 2TB HD where the library is stored
    External (FireWire) 2TB HD where the images are stored
    External (FireWire) 6TB HD backup drive
    In the future an iPad for remote work on images (when/if available) and a Mac laptop (for same remote use)
    I see major downside issues to letting the library manage my files - such as inaccessibility (or awkward accessibility) to the images for other programs, and performance issues when the library gets large (thousands of images or 100+ gb in size)
    The chief complaints I've seen regarding using a reference mode is the broken link issues created if file management is done outside of Aperture (adds, deletes, moves of files) and the inability to use the Vault function for backup.
    One feature that I imagine I'd like to have is maximum integration with Final Cut Pro X and that's one area I haven't seen much on and would be interested to hear about if that integration is affected with the choice of managed vs referenced library types. (I like to produce film clips that are combinations of pics and video and want to be set up so that is done in the easiest fashion when working in FCP X)
    I'm sure I've not seen all sides of this issue and would like to see some discussion around this question.
    Thanks to everyone contributing!

    Goody, Goody, you hit a few of my favorite subjects! Herewith some comments, with the usual caveats - true to the best of my knowledge and experience, others may have different results, YMMV, and I could be wrong.
    I run Aperture on two machines:
    -- 2007 Mac Pro with 2x2.66 GHz Xeon, 21 GB of RAM, a 5770 GPU, and multiple HD. I have about 11,000 images, taking up 150 GB. (Many are 100 MB TIFF, scanned slides)
    -- 2006 Mac Book Pro with 1 2.0 GHz Core Duo, 2 GB of RAM and a 240 GB SSD.
    Two very different machines.
    -- Aperture Libraries are all the same - Managed or Referenced. If Managed, then the Master image files are inside the Package, if Referenced, they are outside, and you can have any combination you want. Managed is easier, but Referenced is not hard if you are the least bit careful.
    -- While the sheer size of an Aperture Library is not a big issue, the location on disk of the different components can have a tremendous impact on performance.
    -- Solid State Drives (SSD) read and write faster than regular Hard Disks (HD) and, what is more important, empty HD read and write much faster than full HD.
    -- Aperture speed requires a combination of RAM, CPU, graphics processing unit (GPU) speed, and disk speed. The more RAM you have, the less paging you will see. With enough RAM, the next bottle neck is CPU (speed and cores) and GPU speed. But even then you will still have to fetch an image (longer if you pull the full resolution Master, read and rewrite the Version file, and update the Preview and Thumbs.
    So what works?
    -- RAM, RAM, and more RAM. 4 GB will work, but you will page a bit. 8 GB is much faster. On my old MacPro the sweet spot was about 16 GB of RAM.
    -- Keep your Library on your fastest (usually internal) drive. Keep that disk as unloaded as possible. How do you keep it unloaded? Either buy BIG, 1 TB+ or move your Masters off onto another disk. The good news here is that as Master files are written only once and never rewritten, speed of this disk, as opposed to the disk that holds the Library, is not important. There is a one second pause as the Master is read into memory and, if you have enough RAM, that is it - the Master will never be paged out. If, on the other hand, you do not have enough RAM, and you do a lot of adjusting at full resolution, then the speed of the disk that holds your Masters will become very important due to paging.
    -- I found that I picked up a tiny bit of speed by keeping the Masters on a dedicated disk. Thus, in your configuration, if you can dedicate that 2 TB FW HD to your Masters, you should see very nice performance.
    Final notes on backups and archives:
    -- One conventional wisdom is that you should make an archive copy of every image file before or as you load them into your system. (Aperture in this case.) This archive is then never touched or deleted.
    -- An alternative approach is that you do not keep such an archive, but only the images that you have in your Aperture Library. And when you delete from the Library, you no longer keep a copy anywhere.
    I do the following:
    -- Card to Aperture. Card is then kept at least 24 hours until all of my backups have run. (I use three - Time Machine, Clone, and off site.)
    -- I do not keep archive copies. If I decide to delete a file, my only recourse is to recover it from Time Machine during the six month cycle of my Time Machine backups. Thereafter, it is lost.
    There are merits to both approaches.
    Hope this is clear, correct, and responsive to your needs.

  • 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.

  • File Manager and Synchronization

    Thought I would bring this to wider attention (so reposting part of another post, apologies for that if you read it twice): the new File Manager app (by Acaras, I believe) seems to work just fine and is well worth 5 dollars. Great to see that holes in the Playbook experience are gradually being filled. I can click and open any file listed here, from word and excel to mp4, and even photos show up in small but view-able icons.
    This takes care of a huge issue for the Playbook being able to justify a claim to being a business tablet. Now we can organize many documents (word, excel, powerpoint, pdf) into folders or categories, browse by those categories and open them accordingly. Once a document is in a folder, when you work on it and save it, it remains in that folder. I tried opening a new document, however, and there is no apparent way to control where it saves into. *I hope that will be another function added soon by RIM and partners.
    Another big issue was regarding synchronization, there didn't seem to be a way to synchronize documents between Playbook and the computer. DataViz (which is now owned by RIM) invented this type of function in the days of Palm, so a mystery why it wasn't developed for Playbook. *Is this feature going to be added, RIM? However, I have found that I can synchronize using an application on the computer, I have used GoodSync to synch between laptop and desktop for several years. So this application detects whatever changes you have made to a document on Playbook and updates the same document on your computer.
    The only problem I can see here is that you can't easily list a number of documents on your computer to synch to your Playbook (the way Documents to Go would do on my Palm), or if you really wanted to do that with GoodSync it seems quite cumbersom. Instead, I have to set up a few folders (eg. Playbook Working Folder, Current Reading) where I place current documents that I know I may be using on the Playbook. I tried using a shortcut instead of the original document to place in that folder, but it doesn't work. Anyway, this solution is still pretty helpful. It's not a bad thing to be forced to go back and finalize a working document and store it carefully when you're finished your active work with it. In the past I tended to leave different versions and when I went back, I had to check which was the last version.
    If anyone had any further experiences or suggestions for how to manage and work with files that would be great to see.

    hi, the file manager from acaras does work pretty well (for sure the best), but the videos app remains a total mess! i was hoping that rim would expand on that app, because no matter how organized my acaras app is, any kid who grabs my book and hits video, is going to be greeted with a whole mess of adult material!
    also, still no support for mpeg video huh? brutal.
    also, still no support for eye-fi cards or the fabled andoid player. brutal.
    also, direction buttons on the key pad maybe?

  • Thunar as default file manager for firefox

    i am using xubuntu 9.04..
    I'm using Openbox as windows manager[pure openbox session], it's working great, but i have a problem ...
    open containing folder doestnt recognize Thunar as my only file manager, it keeps asking to open with...
    how can fix this problem?
    thank you in advance

    I am having a similiar issue... when I hit open folder it pops up sometype of file search program
    EDIT: Perhaps this works for you... for some reason it doesn't for me...
    http://rubylution.ping.de/articles/2007 … nder-linux
    Basically navigate to about:config and create the following three:
    network.protocol-handler.expose.file = true (Boolean)
    network.protocol-handler.external.file = true (Boolean)
    network.protocol-handler.app.file = /usr/bin/thunar (String)
    The program that runs instead of thunar has a title "Find Files" -- I did a quick search of installed programs related to "search" and I only have catfish installed and I know that is not the program... How would I go about determing what this application is or what it is a part of? Is there a way I can click on the program and it output the PID so I can then match it up with the entry in top/htop?
    SOLVED : figured it out... it was pcmanfm search program... for some reason it was not opening the folder but instead opening its search program... removing pcmanfm from my system fixed it and now folders are properly opening with thunar
