[solved] dolphin file manager losing all custom places entries

Hi all,
I am getting phantom problem with dolphin file manager, i added custom place entries there but suddenly they diappear from dolphin.
There is no any pattern in disappearance. They appear for few days without any problem, even after shutdown/reboot. But suddenly some day they disappear and i have to add them again.
I want to find cause of this problem then fix it.
Or at least find config file where dolphin store configuration about custom places that i can backup and restore to get back entries.
I checked ~/.kde4/share/config/dolphinrc but couldn't find there anything about custom places.
I am using KDE 4.14.5 and Dolphin 14.11.97

Hi samtech09,
dolphin stores the configuration of the custom places in ~/.local/share/user-places.xbel.
The problem you described has already been reported upstream: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=343735

[SOLVED] A File Manager That Can Group Folders and Files like Fences

I want to create a custom desktop environment in Arch Linux and I'm looking for a file manager that is similar to Windows Explorer in terms of features and functionality and can group files and folders into fences like Stardock Fences does for the desktop in Windows.
If such a feature isn't available then I, at least, want to group both files and folders into individual groups based on custom parameters and not just Date or Size.
Is there any File Manager in Linux that can fulfill my requirements? If not, is there any file manager which can be extended (by scripting or programming) easily to include the features that I'm looking for?

If you've ever seen the exploere.exe process die for any reason, you know what I mean. That's the reason it's able to utilize functionality like Fences. In order to get the same kind of functionality in Linux, you'd need a very similar setup. KDE + Konqueror are what come closest from my experience, since the Plasma interface actually has widgets built in that do what you want, but if you use KDE then you use KDE. Full stop. KDE is highly customizable, but only if you use its environment and parts.
Nah. I don't wanna use KDE. I've heard that it's the most resource hungry DE out there.
OK, maybe not something like fences in a file manager but I, at least, want to be able to group files AND folders (within a folder or a directory) under a single parameter and that parameter can be custom and not just pre defined like Date and Size.
Huh. I'm down to Konquerer, like you suggested, and Dolphin. Can I use either as a stand alone file manager in a custom DE in Arch without using KDE?

After KDE 4.4, the Dolphin File Manager Doesn't Run [RESOLVED]

After I successfully upgraded to KDE 4.4 and removed all old KDE configuration files, I then ran KDE 4.4 and the Dolphin File Manager doesn't run at all. Any suggestions? Thanks.

@flamelab - Here is what I get when running Dolphin from the terminal:
[ejm@Galicja apps]$ cd /usr/bin
[ejm@Galicja bin]$ ./dolphin
<unknown program name>(4364)/: Communication problem with "dolphin" , it probably crashed.
Error message was: "org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply" : " "Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken." "

Plasma and Dolphin file manager

Hi,
I'm missing the Dolphin file manager for KDE Plasma 5.2 desktop environment. The one that I find is 'kdebase-dolphin', but when I try to install it, it reports a conflict 'kdebase-runtime and khelpcenter is in conflict', and I assume that 'kdebase-dolphin' is KDE 4. I don't want to erase khelpcenter to install kdebase-dolphin. Is there a dolphin file manager ready for plasma yet?
Kind regards

I use dolphin-git (from AUR) wich is build against of KF5. I haven't any problems with it.

How to disable CD-DRIVE checking, while using a Dolphin file manager

Hello.
I would like ask for a help. I have one problem that's quite annoying. It is related to checking cd-drive when using a dolphin file menager. It always cheecks it when Dolphin is launched from K or launcher on taskbar for the first time, again it happens when i close it and open again.
Is there a way to disable checking of cd-drive in Dolphin? This behaviour occurs on KDE with all linux system that i checked: Slackware, Arch, Kubuntu. Look at this:
Disabling CD-DRIVE checking, while using a file manager
I would like to disable it in order to speed up opening Dolphin, launching it.

Udisks2 is what dolphin uses to handle external drives of all kinds (USB, optical, etc). Udisks is an automounting tool that allows normal users to mount disks. The permission handling before was handled with consolekit and has now been replaced by systemd-logind (which is much better anyway). So what I am suggesting is that it might be that dolphin is using udisks2 as the tool that polls for the existence of a disc in your optical drive.
Unfortunately, it is a bit more confusing than that because udisks2 is the replacement for the original udisks. It is totally different and not compatible. So I remember seeing a way to turn off optical drive polling, but I cannot remember if it was udisks or udisks2. But it was done with a udev rule.
So I think if you tried to google for "udisks optical (or cd or dvd) polling" or something like that, you might be able to figure out how this is done.
Edit: unfortunately, I do not use dolphin or udisks2. But I do have the original udisks installed.
Edit2: It seems that the method I remembered is for the original udisks.

Toshiba File Manager - working with custom file extensions

Hi Developers,
I am trying to create an App that handle a specific file extension. I impelemented the required functionality in the Application.
When someone clicks on the file (say .xyz file) in a Third-Party file manager like AstroFileManager or ES Explorer, Android launches my application with the proper Intent ( ACTION_VIEW). How ever, if I browse to that specific directry using Toshiba File Manager, I get a message saying "There is no associated application for this file type."
I tried several things and no dice. Does anyone know how I can register a handler for a specific extension for TFM?
Thanks,

[SOLVED] PCManFM file manager not working for me

Hi, i'm having some troubles with PCManFM. Every time i want to open the file manager it just doesn't do anything, no errors and no feedback if i run it from a console. If i create a folder on my desktop and double click on it, file manager will pop up and i'm able to use it as it were no problems, but still when i close that window it won't open otherwise than clicking on the folder on the desktop. Any ideas?. It's a clean install, followed the wiki for lxde and i've been using linux for 10 years now, tried to figure it out but i couldn't. It's not my first time with arch but i took a break for the last 6 months, thanks in advance.
ibfm 0.1.14-2 (lxde)
pcmanfm 0.9.8-2 (lxde)
cat /etc/rc.conf | grep DAEMONS
# DAEMONS
DAEMONS=(syslog-ng dbus hal !network networkmanager dnsmasqd !netfs crond alsa)
cat .xinitrc | grep exec
exec ck-launch-session startlxde
As i said before, there are no error messages.
Update:
I've just found a lead (l think), if i kill pcmanfm process and rerun it the file manager works fine, the way it should, but desktop won't get managed.

Any help is appreciated.

Dolphin file manager flickers when viewing certain folders

Like the title said: when viewing certain folders (my home folder and /) Dolphin flickers. When viewing any other folder there is no flicker at all. I found a post on the Ubuntu forums which claimed this is a qt3 problem, but if that is the case Dolphin should flicker when viewing any folder, right? The same holds for my video driver (fglrx 8.3).
Anyone got any suggestions?

We once had a patch for qt3 applied to our packages, which prevented the flickering in konqueror by creating a small buffer for the icons... It was exactly the same scenario you are describing here...
However, this patch does not work properly anymore (it does apply, but there are some small rendering issues, especially when moving icons on the desktop), but if you are a programmer you could take a look at it
Here is the patch: http://www.kdemod.ath.cx/svn/branches/k … view.patch
Apart from that, i have no idea...

Changing icons in dolphon file manager

I am a little lost. I recently installed the oxyfaenza icon theme on my kde desktop. It is looking great except for the fact that the split view in dolphin file manager stays the same as with the oxygen icon theme. I have tried changing the icon via configure toolbars dialog in doplhin but the icon reverts back to the oxygen icon after one use. Does anyone know of a solution, any help would be appreciated.

Was you able to resolve above issue , if yes please let me know. I am experiencing the similar problem of loosing connection frequently with the network connection.

Online file storage with access control and file manager integrated to APEX website

I have APEX 4.2 website with few user accounts. I would like to share approximately 100 GB of documents to users. Some documents will be public (in some public folder) and everyone with account in my website will be able to download that public files. And some files/folders will be with restricted access and only user with appropriate credentials will be able to download it.
I would like to find some cheap cloud file storage.
Some storage that offers plugin/component = file manager that will be integrated to my APEX website and authentication will be transparent to my users (authentication with some API or URL). Every user will see only his files. I want some ready to use component and call only minimum API.
I would like to integrate that storage to my website or call some user specific URL and redirect my user to some page with file manager.
All files will be read only for all users.
Thanks for some tips

what will you be using for your file manager? Or do you even know yet?
I do not have tons of experience but if I had to come up with a solution I would build the interface with APEX and use the database to store the files inside so you can control access.
You can create a procedure that takes in parameters like username, session id, encrypted session id from the browser cookie and either return the file or give the user an error message letting them know they arent authorized. You could use plugins to give the users a better file managing experience like the 'multiple file upload' plugin that allows AJAX based multiple file uploading.
Id put this on an amazon EC2 cloud micro instance. It's uber cheap.

Is there a way to change fixed width Flat file connection manager to delimited without losing all the column names ?

Is there a way to change fixed width Flat file connection manager to delimited without losing all the column names ?

Unfortunately not as it is a quite dramatic change causing the metadata being refreshed. I would try to open though the package file in a text editor and find them before doing the change, then after you made the change to the FF connector try to reconstitute
/ replace the autimatically generated columns with the old names.

[SOLVED] Permissions [UNSOLVED] & File manager madness...

Hi guys,
[Solved bit]
Been googling in circles and tearing my hair own over this stuff for sufficient time to warrant actually asking for help (a place I rarely end up in due to the wonderful Wiki and Google-foo)
I'm having some really odd mounting issues with two external drives. Both are formatted ext4, permissions and ownerships are all correct, yet I cannot access the drives as a normal user.
They mount fine (I've tried mounting in multiple different ways as my user - from nautilus, dolphin and space filemanagers, and using pmount and udevil from the command line), but I cannot open any folders in any file managers (even ranger), I just get a pop-up saying "you don't have the correct permissions to view the contents of foo" - yet I'm the owner, the group is users and the permissions are 660 (and I can't chmod without sudo even though I'm the owner!).
Ok, so I just tried 777 and it does work and I have full access. But surely that's not right? I shouldn't need execute permissions to read and write to a drive - by definition! WTF?!
[Unsolved bit]
The other bizarre issue surrounding this, is that after I eject a device (either graphically or via sudo umount), and have verified via lsblk that it's no longer mounted) - it remains displayed in all my file managers and errors out when I click on it (duh!).
What on earth is going on here? I feel like I'm going mad! It's probably something absurdly obvious, but I'm going round in circles here...
I'd very much appreciate any insight anyone could provide, even if does result in a revealing me to total idiot! (it wouldn't be the first time!) :-)

Ok, so I'm afraid the file manager thing is still not solved - obviously that was a separate issue...
Heres the message when I click on the drive that is no longer there:

I duplicated a picture and now iPhoto (11) is cloning that picture replacing all the other photos and only when I click directly on them I can see the real picture! How can I solve the problem without losing any saved picture? Shall I re-install? Thanx

I duplicated a picture selecting CMD and D but, suddenly, iPhoto (latest version '11) started cloning that picture and replacing all the other photos with it.
Only when I click directly on one photo I can open it and see the real picture it is.
But the preview is always the duplicated one...
I tryed to duplicate another picture just to see if it turned out ok but the only changement was the duplicated picture!
I started repeating the second duplicated one instead of the previous one but my issue remained the same.
So, how can you help me to solve this problem without losing any saved picture?
Shall I re-install iPhoto completely?
Thank you very very much in advance!!

As Larry says, restoring the back up is the fastest and best solution. Otherwise:
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .
