[solved] [Cinnamon] Search function in nemo file manager

Hello,
Is it possible to have a search function in Nemo which is the default file manager for Cinnamon?
I saw it in Linux Mint, so somehow it must work.
Regards
EDIT:
Well, there is already a default search function. I was just using files file manager instead of nemo but thought it was nemo. Remember to install tracker as well to make use of the search.

I just tried theh same thing here and it seems that the option connect to a server does not include an option for smb but ou can do it!
Just type a smb link in the location (you can type Ctrl-l to edit the location in nemo):
I just tried someting like smb://[email protected]/share and it worked! It is old but mabe you'll like it!

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.

Help needed: Search function for custom Repository Manager

Hi there,
i'm writing my own Repository Manager for EP 6.0 SP2 PL4.
I've serious problems getting the search function running. I'm using the 'new', Netweaver-based API.
I think, there are some general questions to answer:
- My Repository Manager exposes lots of custom
   properties to the system. I create the properties
   for example using following code:
   IProperty newProp = new StringSingleValueProperty(
     PropertyName.getPropertyName(
              "{}" + myAttName),
     myAttVal,                         PropertyFlags.constructFlags(
              true, false, true, false)
    Is there any convention for the propertie's name?
    I think it has to be written in lowercase only?
    Can I use ANY namespace I want instead of the
    empty default namespace? (For example:
- After indexing my resources (of course, containing my
   custom properties), the TREX-Monitoring screen for my
   index shows all my custom properties in the 'Document
   Properties' area, but all uppercase chars are escaped
   somewhat. Is this OK?
- Trying to use the index above to search for particular
   resources in my repository by my custom properties
   fails all the time ('no docs found...'); searching for
   any system property works fine. What's the reason?
- How can I force the (Property-) search uses my
   custom namespace-manager's methods
   isQueryPropertyNameUnderstood() and
   getQueryBuilder()
   to perform a 'pure' property search by the repository
   manager? It seems that the TREX always handles the
   queries by itself, because my methods are never called.
Thanx for you help,
Daniel

I created a new manager and copied the classes exactly from the "simple" example and I see similar behavior. Actually, when I do this, folders are recursively copied, but not files. Again, browsing and viewing of files work fine. Again, I am not seeing any unexpected exceptions.
The only thing that changed were the names and namespaces. Nothing else at all was changed.
This makes me think I am missing some configuration somewhere or there is something special about the example project that the wizards are not creating. The only difference I see in the project file is an additional nature (com.tssap.selena.cmf.PatternNature), but I am not sure that is relevant.
Wow, I am really stumped.

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?

I think this is what is meant.

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

Audacious File Manager Problem

Hi there,
Audacious file manager thinks himself. Opened automatic file Audacious.
How to solve ?
Thanks.

I can make a pretty good guess what the problem is. Some program is blindly picking Audacious as the default MIME handler for inode/directory, most likely because it starts with "A". Lots has already been said about this issue (try searching Google for "audacious file manager"). For now, you have to set the default MIME handler to something else manually. See: http://redmine.audacious-media-player.o … 102#note-3

File manager

nokia should provide file manager for lumia series.The containts downloaded within the apps. are only visible within the apps...they are not even visible with zune..this is the major disadvantage..

not sure that the file manager really matters in wp8.
if you want a standard office doc, you launch office and any documents that are compatible will show there and you search similar to a file manager
if it is a pdf/adobe file, then you just launch pdf reader and all pdf docs on your device are there.
wp8 is not compatible with zune, so just connect your device vi usb and you can see all the files on your device that are transferred or saved to the device.
just like iOS, you only have access to the main ram file system through developing applications. so at least, unlike iOS, you do not have to pay the 4.99 to get a application that "Acts" like a file manager.
I think that having to use zune is a disadvantage because if you are somewhere and want to share files, and they do not have zune, you are SOL, whereas, now you just have to have the usb cable and you can transfer anything from your device that has been saved to it.
hope that helps.
if it solves your issue, please be sure to mark this post as solution below to help others on the board to quickly find similar answers.

What's a good lightweight file manager for fluxbox?

I just installed arch and it's flippin awesome. I installed fluxbox because I prefer a light window manager with lots of functionality. When I used fluxbox with ubuntu I used thunar. But this time around since I'm using arch I want to use a file manager less dependent on less libraries and other share resources. So whats a good functional and maintained file manager that would be good for fluxbox?

Since I didn't see it here mentioned, why not try Tux Commander? it only depends on gtk2.
I tried both thunar and pcmanfm, uninstalled them and stick with tuxcmd. The only little problem you might come into, is to manually add the buttons to mount cds and usbs (pmount helps here), unless you put them on fstab and they automatically appear there.
Well, just give it a try
$ pacman -S tuxcmd
note: if you ever tried total commander on windows, you'll fit in this one like a glove
I just checked this out and it's pretty nice. The only thing is that it does everything by file extension and not by mime type, which is counter-intuitive for a Linux desktop IMO.
Altho you can put name+extension as 'name'(so you can see the file 'as one'), yes, you'll have to manually had the programs you want to open each file type/extension.
Thanks for spotting that out

Error messages when trying to open 'File Manager'

I have just had my phone and have loaded Nokia PC Suite (I have also downloaded the latest version of Nokia PC Suite) Whenever I try to access specific functions such as File manager, i get the error message "The Operation could not be completed" The drivers for the phone seem to have installed pefectly and I can do some some functions such as synchronise with Outlook contacts (although I cannot sync. to my Outlook Inbox as this option is ghosted - Does anyone know why as this is one of the main reasons I purchased the phone?). I have re-installed all software and phone drivers and I have run out of ideas - Any help gratefully received!
Thanks in advance,

Crash on search function for HTML Help file (.chm) when connected to a Visual C++ application

Crash on search function for HTML Help file (.chm) when
connected to a Visual C++ application
I use the RH_ShowHelp API command to connect a HTML Help file
(.chm file generated by RoboHelp Word X 5) to my Visual C++
application. My application is able to call up this HTML help file
in context-sensitive mode and everything is working great in the
Contents and Index panels EXCEPT when I click on List Topics (after
I enter a KEYWORD for search) in the Search panel.
I got an error that said “Unhandled exception in
xxxx.exe.(HHCTRL.OCX):0xC00000FD: Stack overflow”
I am able to execute this .chm file by itself and the search
function works well in this case. I am using HHActiveX.dll that is
created on 2/23/04. Is this the correct version?? Any advice what
to do here??

Hi agschin and welcome to the RH forums. The hhactivex.dll
file is not used by the search function so you can rule that our.
Have you tried recompiling and seeing if the problem still happens?
You can also start the Bug Hunter feature in RH - View > Output
View and then select the Bug Hunter button - and see if that throws
up any clues.

How to get the search function to find the correct files

i have long wondered if it was me or the system, but i am very clear finally that the search function *****.
1) i try to find a word in a document.
2) the system shows me several possibilities. chapters 16, 18, 21, etc...
3) i then bring up each one individually and search each one. some of them DON'T EVEN HAVE THE WORD OR PHRASE IN THEM THAT I AM SEARCHING FOR. what's THAT all about?
4) so i look at my real life book or search on the web. voila! there it is. chapter 14.
5) i try again. both finder search and spotlight. NEITHER SHOW ME THE CORRECT DOCUMENT. neither shows me chapter 14. they still show 16, 18, 21, etc.
this has always been VERY mysterious.
it has happened hundreds of times over the years.
i am VERY clear now it is NOT me and it IS the system.
what use is it to get a list of documents that do not have the correct criteria and NOT get the document that has the correct criteria?
is leopard as sucky?

thanks for your response.
perhaps you don't use it as much as i do?
i have been cursing this search feature for years.
i often try to find exact words in a particular book
that i have on my computer as .doc files.
and it often does not find what i want and it often
finds what i do not want. so i am very confused.
i went to system preferences. opened spotlight.
there is nothing listed under 'don't search here'...
and i have only a few things listed under 'search here.
i do not understand how that link could help my
problem.
when i search for the word inside a document or
inside a pdf, the programs find the word. but
finder/spotlight does not find it.
i still need more help.
and thanks for your response.

Why the Finder Search-Function is corrupted in Mavericks so that I cannot open any file after searching it?

Finder Search-Function is troubled / corrupted / misfunctioning
When keying in a search word the files are selected properly, yet not shown with details. Furthermore you cannot click and open any file. Also sorting is not possible.
Anyone else has such a problem and has figured out on how to resolve it?
(Spotlight works properly and is somehow a spare solution).
There seem to be many basic problems with the finder in Mavericks, this problem unfortunately has not been resolved also with the last software-release 10.9.2.
The quality strategy of Apple has to be questioned: I do not need 200 NEW functions, but I need the previous basic functions STILL working!
Thank you!

Re: Hi! I have a problem with finder
01.03.2014 12:14 (in response to Fexei)
Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J. When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder. Select Preferences/com.apple.finder.plist. Move the .plist to your desktop.
Re-launch Finder by logging out/in and test. If it works okay, delete the plist from the desktop.
If the same, return the .plist to where you got it from, overwriting the newer ones.
Thanks to leonie for some information contained in this.
You might need to redo the View settings after an update.
Resolved the Problem! Thanks to Eric and Leonie

1. Control Panel->Regional Options
2. On the "Languages" page make sure make sure you check the
box "Install files for East Asian languages".
3. On the "Advanced" page select "Chinese" from the language
dropdown list.
Then I perform the following steps:
1. Use RoboHelp 7 to generate Webhelp (my Webhelp project
contains localized Chinese files).
2. In the "Search" tab, input a Chinese character(For example
"连接") and perform a seach.
Result: Serching...(or 正在搜索) or
No topics found (or
