Exciting improvements in libfm and PCMan File Manager
Recently libfm, the core of next generation file manager, underwent
heavy development and rapid changes. Here are some exciting
highlights.
1. The repository was completely moved from svn to git now.
You can grab the latest source code with following command line:
git clone git://libfm.git.sourceforge.net/gitroot/libfm
2. Drag and drop now works! You can even drag and drop between two
different remote filesystems.
3. Clipboard handing is greatly improved. Files cut/copied in
GNOME/Nautilus, XFCE/Thunar, and even KDE/Dolphin can now be correctly
pasted in libfm.
4. Now libfm correctly mounts remote filesystems on demand.
5. Basic bookmark support was added.
6. File associations (default application for file types) can now
be changed in properties dialog.
7. Partial auto-completion for path entry
8. Moving files now works, but error handling is not yet implemented.
9. Now errors are correctly reported when the loading of folders failed.
Now we’re more and more closer to our goals, to build a modern, fast,
and lightweight file manager supporting gio/gvfs for LXDE. After the
core library, libfm, is finished, the development of the next major
release of PCManFM will be started. This will fix various old bugs in
the original 0.5.x series and provide full access to remote
filesystems. So stay tunned and get it well-tested!
Last but not the least, developers are wanted! Please join us if you
like LXDE and you know gtk+ and gio programming in C language.
