Pcmanfm

[zi99y]

Hi all,

I noticed a few mentions of pcmanfm in the forum, especially the new pkgs thread but I can't find an ipk. Can anyone tell me where I might find it if it's around.

I could try compiling it. It would be for r121, but it may still work.

Ah, that was me who listed it, I compiled it for personal use - I didn't think anyone else would have a use for it

It has a few 'problems' - you can run it as root OR normal user - you can't switch via the 'open current folder as root' as it will crash. Likewise, you can't edit the preferences, unless you do it manually by going to the ~/.pcmanfm/main text file and adding values there.

It's because it's meant to be compiled with the newer GTK2 - at least 2.8  It works fine, but the problems above would be solved if someone would compile the newer GTK2 libraries/headers.

Oh, and I removed that annoying 'you are running as root' warning bar at the top too

If you still want it, let me know ^__^

If it's a lightweight app that runs well on beta 3, then I'd love to try it if possible. Not too bothered about the problems you mention.

I'm not set on any of the file managers I've tried really, and seeing your screen pic made attracted me to the tabbed view and simplistic interface.

I had to compile it for just this reason, as I find even a dual-pane file manager is too restrictive for useage

This version does actually support putting icons on the desktop (well, it just shows the contents of your 'Desktop' directory) and changing wallpaper, but I never used it for those, so don't know what you'd have to add to the 'main' file to get it to accept those settings.

I don't think I packaged it up with the proper 'control' file, etc, but it's here and it works - I hope you find it useful ^__^

Thanks for this, it's complaining about libfam.so.0 - doesn't run without it

do you have an ipk for these libs?

[wyvvie]

Oops - yes, sorry. I completely forgot about that one  I actually compiled gamin/gam_server.

Oh, and if it complains on startup about not setting the icons, just add

Code: [Select]

gtk-icon-theme-name="Tango" into your .gtkrc-2.0 file and you're sorted

Here you go.

I compiled my own because that one segfaulted under r121, but I can't get it to use the Tango icon theme. I copied the files from my Ubuntu box (16x16, 24x24, and index.theme, the only icon sizes I was using). Do I need to do anything special to get icons?

Thanks.

I had the entry wrong in .gtkrc-2.0, but now I still don't have icons. As a matter of fact, I lost icons in the menu bar. Do they need special names?

Well, I packaged up Tango with the appropriate iconsets, and I had '16','22' and 'scalable', plus I compiled it onboard, so it ran the icon-mapping-utility over it to generate the appropriate symlinks for pdaXrom. I think it needs specific icon naming-conventions to be recognised in Pcmanfm.

You could try my Tango pack and see if that works with your compiled pcmanfm? It's now got additional icon sizes, but still works

(I'm presuming that you've tried successfully with other iconsets, and also added that line to the .gtkrc-2.0 as I stated).

[Capn_Fish]

It looks like I need some stuff from other icon sets. I should have looked at the .theme file first. Oh, well.

EDIT: Installed gnome-icon-theme, put "gnome" in .gtkrc-2.0, and it works great.

[zi99y]

Thanks for the ipk's, works a treat. Looks to be a pretty good app too

Hey no problem. It's nice to know I can give things back to the community

@Capn_Fish: That was going to be my next suggestion  

I use the gnome icon set to fill in the blanks. Though there aren't really any in the menu bar - they're all Tango icons for me O_o

I build the latest pcmanfm optimised for xscale cpu, removed the root user warning, and also removed the "folder from here as root" and "preferences" menu items which crashes pcmanfm.
have fun

Ah, I optimised it with the same flags, removed the root user warning, but I didn't know about the crashes with those two options till I was using it - I guess I just didn't think to go back and hack them out  

Thanks Meanie; as always, your work is hugely appreciated - I use most of the apps from your customised beta3 feeds
