Filer, from OpenAmiga.org

@broadblues

Hmm, wouldn't it be a bit annoying to have the filer change position and width while browsing the file system?

@orgin

Yes, actually you are right, I think it would.

I'm thinking more from a point of view of opening the first filer window at a directory.

So the snapshot would only take effect on first startup, or on a "open in new window" or similar.

Maybe it can be done checking if it is opening a filer window and apply the position tooltype it it corresponds to the drawer bieng opened, or if it is being browsed in an already opened filer window, in which case it would remain in the same position?

BTW, you are doing a nice work with Filer.

53.19 out: http://openamiga.org/index.php?function=viewfiles&projectid=20

Hang on to your 53.18 if you find the new one unstable.


Also the images are completely new, some with new filenames so if you have copied the images elsewhere in a previous install, remove them and copy again from the new archive.

@orgin

Were you referring to this version when you were speaking about localization with me ?

@abalaban

Ahh, doh, forgot to replace the .cd files. Ohh well there's a new archive with the correct .cd files uploaded now. The prefs program is fully localized, but the main program isn't.

For everyone else who isn't doing localization on their own, there's no need to download the new package since it contain the same binaries.

@orgin

Thank you I'll get back to you when finished.

@orgin

Like the new icon set! And that anoying tooltip in the lister is gone

Hey configuarable toolbar too!

Well done!

BTW of topic but dispite having "notify me of new posts" seleted I never ever get an emails notifying me of new posts in amigans threads...

@orgin

Thanks for implementing the qualified double-click for opening a new instance of Filer in the selected drawer. But could the qualifier key be changed from Shift to Ctrl?

Since SHIFT is used for multi-select, if I'm holding down Shift and accidently add a drawer to the selection that I want to remove right away, I'll click it again; but this will give me the unwanted new instance.

@broadblues

Successfully configured my toolbar (like the RED delete button, )

A question about filetype configuration.

Do I need to set an editor / viewer for each lowest level filetype, or can I set one for a higher level?

eg I tried set my choice of text editor for 'ascii' but when I try to edit "Readme.txt" it still calls up NotePad.

Did I do something wrong or is heirachy not supported?

Also it mentions in the changes section

Quote:

Unles that's refering to the filetypes section, I can't see where to set it.

One last thing. The menu item "Listr / preferences" starts a new instance of the prefrences program even if it's allready running, ideally it should just pop the existing one to front.


Overall though really impressed with this update!

Email from amigans is non functional.

Okey. Just remember that it probably won't help in teh situation you mention though, it would instead just open the folder. The double click detection system in 'reaction' gadgets is a bit miss and hit.

@broadblues

The file type system is just a flat list. So you can't define a parent command/editor. The OS function for checking file type just reports the actual type without any relation to any parent 'group'. It might not even be possible to read the system deficon type tree, but that's just a guess.

"editor" does indeed refer to the file type section. You can specify an editor for each file type. Neither command nor editor is required so you can f.e. have an editor for a type that you don't want a default action for.

"One last thing. The menu item "Listr / preferences" starts a new instance of the prefrences program even if it's allready running, ideally it should just pop the existing one to front."

Yeah I'll add a check later on, it just wasn't prioritized at the moment of writing, the actual functionality was.

Okay. Which function is that out of interest.

@broadblues

@orgin

Ah! Ofcourse, forgot about that one. There are some additional filrtype serach functions in the datatypes library, are they of any use in this context? (I haven't used them myslef)

@orgin

Just found a rendering bug in the search facility.



Notice that the search result is duplicated in the parent window!

@broadblues

And another.

In the filetypes editor entry {f} returns the directory, not the file, simple test is to set the editor to 'echo {f}'

returns
Projects:blender-svn/blender/release/text

instead of

Projects:blender-svn/blender/release/text/blender.html

The default editor (Notepad) works okay, as does the viewer option, ie in this example 'OpenUrl FILE {f}' successful opens the html file in AWeb.

@broadblues

"Notice that the search result is duplicated in the parent window!"

Fixed.

@broadblues

"In the filetypes editor entry {f} returns the directory, not the file, simple test is to set the editor to 'echo {f}' "

Fixed.
