any ideas? |
I know what this is, I don't know why. The case label mentioned decides which icon layout to use.
Could I get your emerge --info? It may be a different compiler version. (you can PM it if you want) _________________ ... |

Thank you. I think commit 64 should fix this - please try again.

metwo's .choices patch is in commit 66.
metwo: does this mean my code is readable? Thank you for the patch. I did make some changes, for less memory usage. Granted, it is not that much less, but evey bit helps.

that's cool, your changes look sensible
If I can make sense of most of your code, it can't be that bad |

one feature that I'd like to see in Darimasen that I think would REALLY go a long way to make it more useable would be a "drop stack". A drop stack is a small area of the window that serves as a holding area for drag and drop operations. The idea comes from a mac file manager called "Path Finder"
I think that outfitted with a drop stack, Darimasen would be the "mechagodzilla" of free file managers. _________________ Could it be? |

Good call! I suppose drag and drop in a tabbed file manager would be quite hard without it!
One thing it does need is for commands to be executed in the working directory open in darimasen, e.g. if the command associated with a text file if 'ls > ls.txt', running this on a file in /home/me/sub1/sub2 would give a directory listing of /home/me (at the moment, assuming thats where you first started the file manager) as supposed to sub2(the desired behaviour).
This is obviously an example, but I've found at least one situation where the current behaviour is problematic
Edit: fixed in commit 70!

Question - what is the reason for the "!" in the Name field?

Ah, but I want the design to be a bit less intimidating. which really is a point - where would you suggest it goes? "Path Finder" has the sidebar-type area, which can lead to a non-functional area, which I am trying to avoid.

Mid-exams, I don't feel like coding. But I did get an idea for the second version of the app icon-- http://www.deviantart.com/view/17917938/.
Also, a decent looking lila-style version in SVN.

SVN commit 70 has a patch for the executable issue metwo mentions above, and a .desktop file - hope it works correctly. Little changes all around.
Getting kicked out of the dorms, already have my speakers disconnected. This leaves me in a room ~15m from dialup - not the best situation for SVN commits. And there is that whole 'summer job' issue - so we shall see what the next few months bring.

wow... I just stumbled upon this, this has potentional.
A few things I immediatly spotted:
on first start (file assosiations thing) the one for music files is spelled wrong (... now why didn't you copy and paste that part ).
and some feature requests:
sorting files and dropdown of folders
beeing able to hold one mouse button to browse through folders (and have them open as sub menu items)
small thing, maybe make the select part of the window text only (instead of a box like you currently have), so I'd be able to easier select the window without accidenatly clicking a file. |

Cheers for pointing that out, the 'firstime' dialog is now fixed in commit 71, not that those of you who've already installed will notice |

Very cool!
I've resisted the idea of file-browsers for a while (mostly because they all suck), but this one is pretty cool.
Are you working on the ability to create directories and move files around, or is this strictly for file-browsing?
Thanks for this nifty tool! |

You can move files around already, by 'copy to..' and 'move to..' on the context menu - no drag'n'drop as yet. Creating directories is a planned feature |

the drop stack could be a little drawer coming out of the side, or maybe a little button on one of the corners... when the stack in empty, it's a bit biggger than the size of a window manager button, when you drag something to it, it grows in size, from the centre out, like a badge on the corner of a window to the size of an icon with some room for padding, like this terrible mockup illustrates. _________________ Could it be? |

Fixed in commit 72! Plus a few optimisations, and the groundwork for settings management. |

Finally found a workaround for my lack of 'net on the normal linux box.
Commit 73 is mainly shuffling code, but also optimizes folder creation for the first-time run AND fixes the last known bug with the tab system (example: open 3 tabs at startup, close second, close third, segfault). Took more pointer knowledge then I thought I had.
Commit 75, if things go as planed, will parallel the release of v0.0.8. Still haven't decided if there will be a 0.0.9, or just to go to 0.1...
I guess we shall see in two commits.

Not that shabby, all considered...
From what I currently know, getting it to expand past the edge of the window would be... difficult. A segmented status bar could work well, though - popping up when somthing is draged to it...
Thanks
