no. windows reversed the convention. before windows existed in the mac and amiga etc. worlds shift was multi-select, control was range select. i am following the original convention by default. efm can switch to do it the windows way. but nothng is exposed in the gui to do that - the code is there though. Ok ! I didn't know that. Anyway that's not an habit that couldn't be lost - particularly if it comes from windows ;) you could do this with multiple fm views... but this is going too far. efm is intended as a basic SIMPLE fm that you get for free because the majority of the infra for a fm is already lurking inside e - and this just exposes it. we need to get e17 released and so i want efm to remain simple - we can worry about more features after release - unless those features are really core to the thing working properly at all. as such the old fm that brought up a new window per dir worked wonders on macos and amigaos and a dozen others for many years. its very simple and flexible. thats all i wanted for e17 - fore e18 etc. we can look at doing more.

Is it configurable? I have looked, but have found no way to have a double click on a directory open in that windows, vs opening a new window. I saw someone mention that they hate treeviews (maybe Gustavo?), but personally, I'd rather have that than twenty windows open as I navigate through the directories. Is this something that could be added as a configurable option? Please let me know if I just haven't done the leg work to figure out how the current implementation could be configured to use one window vs many. yes it is. you haven't spent much time looking at the config - have you? :) you will also want to try the efm_nav module.

Hi, As a user I'm very happy to see all this keen interest with efm. I really like it since I use the thumbscroll feature (sometimes I even try to scroll the firefox pages like this !) and I think it's good for basic operation / navigation. Nevertheless I'm used to select multiple files in a list view from one to another by holding Shift and to separtely select files by holding Control... In efm it's the opposite, is it an error ? Like many of you I would like to have shortcuts to copy/paste and I'll add : Alt+directions to navigate through folders like in others filemanager. + a module like efm_nav and path but which will show us the path with buttons for a speedy navigation + an implementation of the delete in trash like in the trash module + a column view like in the macos finder, but raster said : the fm widget views 1 directory at a time - that's how its built. changing that is major surgery. So I don't know if it's feasible, but could be really great with some nice translations when the columns have to slide, and could permits the last column to show some more informations on the file selected... I'm dreaming :) ... or if it's something not doable, why not adding some fancy effect when opening a folder (when the open dirs in place is checked) ? Hope it could make e even better !

This is exacly what the places module do..plus some more :) Please have a look at it (http://code.google.com/p/e17mods/wiki/Places) In my opinion we can remove some hal code from efm and use more the places module (maybe use it by default). This mainly for reducing efm complexity. Why don't you add places module in E's SVN?

I don't see what your issue is there. My issue is WITCH is the right filemanager to run, not how to run it. And I want to resolv this issue BOTH for modules and for apps. (in edje_editor I need to launch you preferred text editor and your pref image editor. and a centralized way to store info (default fm, default term etc..) to read from. I have also done a module to set your default applications, but don't know how to share this information :( Hey! this spot out a new todo item: * efm should read and write preferred applications in a 'standard way', note that standard don't stand for fredesktop, they don't have a spec for defapp atm. It already has a 'standard' way then. You can read the config just as easy as efm can afaik. It should be global and accessible by any module. but only by modules I don't see this as a standard though due to the fact that no one else is or will use it since it is very specific to E. So I'd rather someone get involved in the FDO spec that is being tossed around and help get it pushed through and improved. Might be a good chance for us to get our foot in the door with FDO. The FDO standard for this is a work in progress, and is not exacly what I need for the moment. I think we need an 'abstraction layer' for the standard. I mean to have 2 functions somewhere (like get_default_mime and set_default_mime). In this way when the standard will be ready we just need to modify that 2 functions. If this is not going to happend I will invent my own method and I will make Places and Trash to use the $X-FILEMANAGER, $X-WWW-BROWSER variables...and also my module to setup the defaults will work in this way. hmmm...maybe this last solution is not so bad :) Dave Dave p.s. the same problem is also blocking the trash module to go in svn -- Gustavo Sverzut Barbieri http://profusion.mobi embedded systems -- MSN: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Skype: gsbarbieri Mobile: +55 (19) 9225-2202 - This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100url=/ ___ enlightenment-devel mailing list enlightenment-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/enlightenment-devel - This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100url=/ ___ enlightenment-devel mailing list enlightenment-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/enlightenment-devel

This helps keep it clean and also helps one associate the request with whatever window it's coming from. 2. all operations (copy, move, delete) have no progress on screen - if there is a queue of work (like delete this dir then copy this to here, move this to here etc.) you can't see it. the idea was to put such status inside the efm window in-line with where the action was initiated or where it belongs (eg if u delete a file in a dir then put the status in that dir). Same as above, probably use some generic code to make it easier to make the overlays. In the case that the window is closed, opening the same dir again will recreate the overlay. One could write a module that could keep track of all operations and perform operations on them as the operations will be globally available. I had started some work on this, but never finished it. I'm not sure how much use any of my work was since a few things have changed since I started it. 3. need to check and ensure all DND works between all efm windows (into the window, in top of directories etc.), and between other apps (other fm's like nautilius or thunar or konqueror, apps like gimp, inkscape, openoffice, abiword, firefox etc. etc.) Working with other file managers may be harder then it looks on the surface since they may not all use an identical spec for transferring file information. I seem to recall that they all had their own quirks, but I believe we are already compatible with most GTK file managers. 4. removable device handling (done via hal and dbus at least for the raw nuts and bolts) mostly seems to work but is a bit hackey the way it writes .desktop files to ~/.e/e/fileman/favorites then forcibly symlinks them to your Desktop - this could be cleaned up and made more robust with more options (eg also put them on other desktops eg Desktop-1 and -2 etc.). Yes, this does mostly work. The biggest problem now is that the cleanup of the .desktop files is not very good. If you plug in a thumbdrive, kill E, pull out the drive, and then restart E it will not have deleted the .desktop and will cause the issue that many users have seen where their efm windows refresh rapidly. 5. there are obvious bugs like the favorites window not remembering position (don't know why currently - just saw that it doesnt). 6. missing small things like remembering scroll position as well as pos/size for windows. 7. part of another todo but related to fm is making all fm window (opened by fwin in the fileman module) should be re-opened on login/start if they were open on shutdown (exit). (this means restarting e doesnt lose internal e windows like fm windows) 8. renaming files has a dialog - this is because it was hard to do before. now we can rename in-place. edje's own entry can now do this. this needs changing. 9. efm actually supports a custom bg (and/or overlay) .edj .. per directory. so different dirs can have a different look and feel - even the theme can be changed so selected file icons and scrollbar can all be customised. there is no gui to do this - just magic dot-files right now. Well not sure how much of a GUI you want for this, but I would just document it and those who want to use it can. I figure this will be more used by distributions who want to customize certain folders. If there is a GUI, then just the basics like background image and icons might be the most you want to do. 10. there is a right-menu option for efm when it sees image files (jpg's etc./) to set as wallpaper. this basically doesn't work. sure a dialog comes up - but it's not usefully pre-seeded with the file you selected. admittedly the whoel wallpaper config dialogs need a re-do. I believe this used to work so probably just needs a simple fix somewhere. 11. while i'm at it the open with.. dialog is not bad - but the 2-list thing needs to go. 1

Dave 13. popup with preview options. plugin-able would rock, but at least way to see more information about most used types (images, videos, music, oo.org) would help, things like title, preview, date and like. I guess I could make it easier if I add individual file extraction for LightMediaScanner. Today it's based on folders and every file is stored on SQLite DB, maybe I can change that to make it more useful for one-file users, including EFM. And sure, we could use more EFL apps to handle files... things like Eyelight (presentation viewer), Eyesight (document viewer, pdf...), Enjoy (music player)... Most required, at least to me, are a document (pdf, ps, ooo) viewer and photo viewer. Eyesight really need work to be useful, Ephoto and Exhibit are not what I'd like to see my picture directory, I'd like a quick viewer with easy and fancy slideshow, easy to use zoom and possible exif and rotation support, until that I keep using cmdline imagemagick's display. -- Gustavo Sverzut Barbieri http://profusion.mobi embedded systems -- MSN: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Skype: gsbarbieri Mobile: +55 (19) 9225-2202 - This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100url=/ ___ enlightenment-devel mailing list enlightenment-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/enlightenment-devel

2008/11/28 jess [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Hello, On this thread, I have tried to read all of them, but have not heard any mention of the multiple windows that get opened when using the built in file mgr. Is it configurable? I have looked, but have found no way to have a double click on a directory open in that windows, vs opening a new window. I saw someone mention that they hate treeviews (maybe Gustavo?), but personally, I'd rather have that than twenty windows open as I navigate through the directories. Is this something that could be added as a configurable option? Please let me know if I just haven't done the leg work to figure out how the current implementation could be configured to use one window vs many.

Like if the name consists of 2 or 3 words and it's too long for one line - move one of the words to a second line. Same if it consists of one very long word (maybe more than 10 characters?), but use a dash or just put ... after the 5th letter. This will help to keep the icons better snapped to the grid. I guess this is something harder because it needs to be solved at Evas and Edje, see other discussion about textblock and Since there are no markups involved we could hack it using single line text objects and simulate that ourselves, but it's not that simple. 16.

Anyway, since E has already this module init functions that register stuff, we could register a filemanager symbol there. e's fileman would just call e_fwin_new(), but one can write one that exec some external application like thunar. you can call the action like this from any code: E_Action *a = e_action_find(fileman); if ((a) (a-func.go)) a-func.go(NULL, NULL); anything that advertises an action can do this. its in principle not much different to a more complex eet file set with symbols and basically runtime dlsym() on abstracted objects. :) there is also e_msg.c - it's a generic messaging interface that sends named (string) messages with a few basic parameters able to be sent with it. anyone can set up a handler for one. so all the nuts and bolts are there. and a centralized way to store info (default fm, default term etc..) to read from. I have also done a module to set your default applications, but don't know how to share this information :( as mekius said, it's a global in e_config I guess. yup. just the only one accessing it is e. you'd need to patch any fm to share the same stuff as there is no universal location for this currently that everyone already uses. Hey! this spot out a new todo item: * efm should read and write preferred applications in a 'standard way', note that standard don't stand for fredesktop, they don't have a spec for defapp atm.

This is exacly what the places module do..plus some more :) Please have a look at it (http://code.google.com/p/e17mods/wiki/Places) In my opinion we can remove some hal code from efm and use more the places module (maybe use it by default). This mainly for reducing efm complexity. Why don't you add places module in E's SVN? I dislike having to search for modules over the net... and I really forgot about places (actually could be named volumes, dunno?). We have exchange.e.org for that, people can add their modules into the showcase, and add info about where to get it. I still haven't figured out how to add themes to the showcase, let alone modules. The typical user can not add a theme to the Showcase section. Only the site admins can do that. If you do think a theme is worthy of the Showcase, message the e-users list so people can debate it. Same goes for removing themes from the showcase.

(this means restarting e doesnt lose internal e windows like fm windows) 8. renaming files has a dialog - this is because it was hard to do before. now we can rename in-place. edje's own entry can now do this. this needs changing. 9. efm actually supports a custom bg (and/or overlay) .edj .. per directory. so different dirs can have a different look and feel - even the theme can be changed so selected file icons and scrollbar can all be customised. there is no gui to do this - just magic dot-files right now. 10. there is a right-menu option for efm when it sees image files (jpg's etc./) to set as wallpaper. this basically doesn't work. sure a dialog comes up - but it's not usefully pre-seeded with the file you selected. admittedly the whoel wallpaper config dialogs need a re-do. 11. while i'm at it the open with.. dialog is not bad - but the 2-list thing needs to go. 1 list. also ilist is again abused with a massive list of stuff (poor ilist. i need to make it possible for ilist to defer list adding and size calculation with an add queue). so likely that dialog could do with a toolbar at the top to select between applications that say they do handle that mime-type, and all applications as 2 separate lists and you switch between. -- - Codito, ergo sum - I code, therefore I am -- The Rasterman (Carsten Haitzler)[EMAIL PROTECTED] - This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100url=/ ___ enlightenment-devel mailing list enlightenment-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/enlightenment-devel

That way we can just have a EFM view with show devices to show our ~/Desktop as a gadman. We can even have multiple views in the same desktops (ie: ~/ and ~/Desktop) or different views per desktops (~/Desktop-1, ~/Desktop-2...)

I guess I could make it easier if I add individual file extraction for LightMediaScanner. Today it's based on folders and every file is stored on SQLite DB, maybe I can change that to make it more useful for one-file users, including EFM. And sure, we could use more EFL apps to handle files... things like Eyelight (presentation viewer), Eyesight (document viewer, pdf...), Enjoy (music player)... Most required, at least to me, are a document (pdf, ps, ooo) viewer and photo viewer.

Re: [E-devel] EFM: thoughts, current work et al.
This is more related to the Confirm (file(s)) delete dialog. I wish it was STACKED above all windows all the time, its troubling having to go search for it whenever another window gains focus. The current efm icon_efm/dnd copy/move/ask behavior where you move a file, and you lose sight of the original file's location and its name is also troubling. Across most desktop environments, the file in question, upon initial move, always stays in place (might go from opaque to semi transparent) but always stays in place, while in transition, the new copy is visible (and so is the file in question). Upon mouse release, the file (if the physics allow) will change location. Currently when you move a file from one area of the desktop to the other, the icon moves, you get a small overlay (icon) representing (copy, ask, move), but the file is no longer visible where it was initially picked up. And if you want to find out what what file you are dragging you have to look for your mouse pointer. With the current lack of compositing effects this behavior is a bit ugly. Salut!
