Ipkg Request: Xfe
« on: August 01, 2005, 07:21:46 pm »
i can't seem to find a filemanager that fits my needs... i want something like IE's file manager, with a tree that coresponds to the main view (like Nautilus's Browser mode)

i found XFE... it claims to be lightweight, and has all the functions i want, so here it is:
http://roland65.free.fr/xfe/

only dependency (AFAIK) is the FOX-toolkit, get version 1.4.x from:
http://www.fox-toolkit.org/download.html

thanks to whoever decides to do this...

i've used pdaXrom for about 3 days now, and i don't really feel very comfortable compiling, just yet (i have enough trouble with it in Ubuntu   )

test results so far :

- cut, copy, paste, delete works
- it is fast !
- thumbnails work !! (nice to see those little jpegs)
- extracting archives works
- I haven't found anything that doesn't work

I'll pack it as is.

WARNING : these ipkgs come "as is" and include the whole lot. (includes, docs, icons, ...). I do not take any respons....  (blah, blah, blah)

I didn't optimize them. If there's enough interest, I'll consider to clean them up.

xfe requires fox.

Anyway, I like xfe.
Just test.

edit : Look further in the thread for updated ipkgs

Cool ....you should start a request board for PPL wanting software for there zaurus(who just dont get cross-compiling)
Any chance of a Qsstv port for zaurus sl-5500
http://users.telenet.be/on4qz/qsstv/index.html
http://users.telenet.be/on4qz/qsstv/downlo...stv-5.3c.tar.gz even a good dummies step by step walk through ie 1.do this 2.get this install like this 3.exactly like this bla bla would be really helpful
Most other stuff seems to be dated links for cross compilers dead etc
Cheers if you do start a thread like this before you know it 20,000+ apps converted by all zaurus community......YeHa and like i said in another post ill do all the Ham Radio apps once i learn properly how to do this ,mind you i still don't have a zaurus yet but Xmas is on its way and ebay will have me sourcing out a sl-5500 or sl-5600 as thats within my price range  LOL

I played with it this evening.

This really is "super stuff"
It includes a picture-viewer (xfi) with quite a lot of features.
Double-click on a jpg opens it. This also has a browser in it.

Double click on a text-file opens nedit, on html opens firefox.
I haven't tried others yet.

As already posted : I like it. I really like it. [span style=\'font-size:14pt;line-height:100%\']This just rocks.[/span]
And man, [span style=\'font-size:14pt;line-height:100%\']IT IS FAST !![/span]

For those using it already : keep in mind that it uses a trash-folder, to be able to undelete. I symlinked mine to SD, not to run out of internal flash.
Don't forget to empty it !!

I think this could replace "mc" and "gqview" for me.
Finally found a good, fast graphical file explorer for my Z.

I agree, thanks for compiling this! Using the RC11 I found that the libstdc++ ipk is 6.0.3 and symlinking 5.0 to it doesn't work. However if you install the RC10 version of libstdc++ it will work (unfortunately they have the same file name).

It'd be great if you could repackage it with the extras removed & an xfe.desktop file so it shows up in the menu. (I made one for myself but not sure if others know how).

Cheers,
Jerry

Just answering questions, this post I'm not going to tell how nice xfe is or how much I like it. No, I'm not going to tell that this is good stuff, I'm just answering.

I'll do it during the weekend, or sometime next week. I've noticed there are quite a lot of htmls included, as well as a bunch of screenshots. I suppose they can all be left out.
I'm still on RC10, so I didn't notice the libstdc++ problem.

I'm not sure, I didn't have to change or install anything. It just worked. I have installed quite a lot of stuff on my Z, maybe that's why it didn't complain.
From the filename, I suppose this has to do with "bzip2" ? Can someone else tell for sure? Or could you try to install bzip2 ?

Looking at the numer of downloads for the fox-ipkg, it seems some people have troubles downloading it.

I stripped the fox ipkg a bit (half the original size)
(left out : includes, html-docs, screenshots)

The updates xfe-ipkg will follow later. (edit : it's here now)

Can someone let me know if these are ok, then I'll remove the older ones ?
