Hi,

About the only application i\'m really missing is a really good filemanager. It\'s slow work dropping down to the command line just to copy some files around. Is there a good file manager available, even something like console based like midnight commander?

I\'ve kind of fallen in love with Tree!Explorer QT

It gives Japaneses error messages (well since I don\'t have the fonts on mine, it gives blocks), but otherwise I LOVE it. I have it set up to run with elevated priviledges, so I can move files at will.

Thank you pgas, now how do i access the menus or the shortcuts at the bottom of the screen - for example if i want to move a file? It works really nice though...

You mean with the stylus, I don\'t think the console support mouse operation.

Hi pgas, nah i wasn\'t expecting mouse support. I meant how do i select for example option 6 to move a file with the keyboard?

Hi clofland, thank you - Tree!Explorer is a fierce beautiful program! ;-)

Omega, never used mc before? the shorcuts are F1-F10:

on the page where you downloaded you can read

Remember that the f-keys can be emulated via Escape-Number, that\'s \"cancel\", \"Fn\"+\"Number\" on the Zaurus...

so to move a file use cancel then Fn+6

pgas2, I have used mc before a long long time ago. It still doesn\'t seem to work for me. Whenever i hit Fn + 3 it dims the screen.

pgas2 · « **Reply #9 on:** June 09, 2004, 09:59:34 am »

have you press cancel before?

omega · « **Reply #10 on:** June 09, 2004, 10:02:18 am »

What about KCommander3?

Note: It needs the Qt3 lib, which is 9 Megs of size.

try pressing Cancel once, then the number key you need. I use mc all the time, no problems, esp in Xterm in X/Qt

omega · « **Reply #13 on:** June 10, 2004, 04:46:25 am »

padishah_emperor, thank you. Working perfectly, don\'t need the Fn key at all. Is there an Escape key combination on the Z?

padishah_emperor · « **Reply #14 on:** June 10, 2004, 05:55:41 am »

I think the cancel key is escape, I think. I\'ve only just hauled my butt out of bed and I ain\'t had coffee yet ;-)
