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!

[SOLVED] small tango icons in file manager

I've installed the tango icons from AUR. But the problem is the size of the icons is too small in the file manager i used (both thunar and rox) even though i've zoom it. I think the picture below will describe it better:

I've done a search in this forum. Someone said something about recompiling the tango icons. Done that but the icons are still small. Anybody has any idea?
Thanks!

How can I view .inc files in split view on DW

I'm trying to view my INC files in split view using DW CC 2014.1.
I've managed this on older versions of DW by changing the extensions.txt and MMDocumentTypes.xml file.
However, that isn't working for me now.
Am I missing something for DW 2014.1?
Thanks,
Liz

I've managed this on older versions of DW by changing the extensions.txt and MMDocumentTypes.xml file.
Works for me.
Are you sure that you targeted the files in the correct directory as in Dreamweaver CC 2014.1?

File Manager with tree view

I've been using Cinnamon with the Nemo file manager for a while now but I'm wanting to remove Cinnamon and have only Openbox and Awesome installed. The only thing that's stopping me now is I'm unsure of what to use for a file manager. The feature of Nemo that I really like is the ability to show folders in tree view in the main pane when in detailed list view. I know that most of them probably have the tree feature in a side pane but I want it in the main pane.
I'd like something with as few dependencies as possible since I'm wanting a more minimal approach to my system. Nemo requires Cinnamon, I'm guessing that Nautilus has the feature that I'm looking for as well but that requires Gnome.
Can anyone recommend another file manager with this feature? Or is there any way to install Nemo/Nautilus without their desktop dependencies?

Not really, since those libraries are required to run the respective file manager.

File manager with tree view in main pane?

I'm looking for a file manager with something similar to Nautilus' list view, with a list and tree structure as a main view.
The nautilus one is awesome, but nautilus has qwerks if you don't use gnome (wants to control desktop, panels are very restricted, etc.)
Does anyone know of a file manager with a view similar to this that I can try out?

I've seen a few things on spacefm, and played with it a bit. Took me 3 minutes and 2 segmentation faults to find the setting to change views, and it still doesn't have the ability I want, so still a bit too buggy for me.
Pcmanfm is a good all around filemanager, but doesn't have that feature either.
I played with a slew of file managers one day looking for similar things, maybe I should try that again and branch out further than what's in the repos.
More suggestions?

DW9 (CS3) split view not work with ASP files?

I just installed and ran DW CS3 (ver 9.0 bulid 3481) -- I use
"coder" view for the screen layout. I like the split-view style
since I code inline HTML with my ASP and ASPX code. However, the
new version has the split-screen view button grayed out. How do I
enable split view when I edit files that are not just ending in
"htm" or "html" extensions? If the Adobe programmers made an
ASSumption then they need to issue a patch and remove it pronto. I
do not want someone else making decisions on how I do my work...I
get enough of that from Microsoft already, I do not need it from my
tools also. Please forward this to the developers if there is no
way to change my preferences, otherwise please tell me how to edit
a config file or hex-edit the executable to get this funtionality
back. TIA!

I still can't figure out why the split view or design view is
grayed out and not accessible when editing files with an .asp or
.aspx extension and it is driving me crazy! I called the support
line and got someone in India who didn't understand my problem. 30
minutes later I finally got her to agree to transfer me to
secondary support but they were busy and she promised me they would
call the next day. That was over a week ago. I didn't even get a
voicemail, even though I stayed by my phone the whole day. I see
that support for DW under Adobe is no better than it was under
Macromedia...how sad. Microsoft Expression Web is looking better
and better every day....... :(

Viewing images from file manager in C5-00.

When I open an image in file manager it does not open. An image viewer opens but does not display the image. Then I've to restart the phone to get rid of image viewer from open apps. Does anyone has the same problem? Any solutions? Firmware version: 071.005

Does any image cause this (including camera pictures), or just some? Do the images display normally in Gallery? What about images stored on the phone (temporarily change the camera's memory setting and snap a photo) vs. on the memory card? For this test, you may want to temporarily remove the memory card.
I am hoping you'll find that images stored on the phone display everywhere 100% normally, which would mean some corruption on the card. If so, back up any important card data, connect the phone to a computer with USB and Mass Storage mode (or use a separate card reader), and check the card for errors in the same way you would check the hard drive. If the computer can find and fix the problems, then hopefully the issues are solved. If not, you may need to reformat the card (as FAT32). Worst case scenario is that the card could be going bad. I hope that helps!

can anybody help me for this.how can i split into 2 file.
Thanks
Vishwas Sahu

Create 2 internal tables. sat it_header, it_detail
Check for 1st 3 characters and if it is R01 then send it into it_header and if it comes out to be R02 then send it to it_detail.
Once done... You can either attach these tables into mail as two seperate files
Or you can download each internal table using GUI_DOWNLOAD.
Hope this helps!!

Blank File Icons in Small List View

Hi,
I got an annoying problem with my Mac.
In Finder, it's not going to show the right icons while I'm in the small list view.
If I switch to the bigger list view or the symbol view, everything appears correct.
I just reinstalled Yosemite but it's still be there.
I attached some screenshots.
I hope you can help me.

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?

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.
