Titre: PCmanFM
Posté par: konaexpress le 14 février 2013 à 20:55:33
Hi, got a question about PCmanFM...

How in the world do you get Favorites to work in it. I have tried many times to drag and drop a folder in to the left pain but it does not stick like it does in other distros. How do you set folders for the top left pain also?

Thanks -John

I assume you're dealing with DebGambas here. Yes, the Debian config is different than PCLOS. However, it's easy to add a "favorite" to the left pane. It's called a "bookmark". (Don't ask me why.)

Open the folder you want as a favorite. While viewing the contents of that folder, click Bookmarks > Add To Bookmarks. Give it any name you want. Want to delete a "bookmark"? Right-click in the left pane and select "Remove from Bookmark".

Hi,
I also tried a few times to use a drag-and-drop method in PCManFM but no : only using the menus as described by djohnston do work.

PS: my bad, in PCManFM 1.1.0 in Archlinux I just dragged and dropped successfully my "Documents" folder to the bookmarks!

Thanks for the help guys.

There has to be a setting somewhere, I have seen it work in other distros. Gambos alpha 3 is based on Lubuntu 12.04 but it works in Lubuntu 12.10. I don't get it....

I do not have the Deb version of Gambos up yet, one man show but I will get to it.

Kona, can you look in your menus to see which version PCManFM you are running ?  (Help > About)

There is no option to set it up, but it might be a matter of version. Unless your icon theme has a bug ? (Never know... )

John,

I just tried both drag and drop and the "bookmark" method I described on PCManFM in my copy of Bodhi. (It's a *buntu e17 distro, but I use PCManFM as the file manager.) Both methods work. The version number is 0.9.10. See what your version number is.

I checked and it is 0.9.10.

I asked this question in the LXDE main forum and they could not help me, none of the programmers for LXDE or PCmanFM look at the forums from what I understand, mail list only.

Has anyone tried SpaceFM?

OK, found a PPA for PCmanFM 1.0

Think I might give this a try and see if it fixes anything.

Hi,
You will be needing the matching version of libfm. Could you paste the link to that pcmanfm'ppa please? It seems I can't find it at the moment.

And yes, we tried SpaceFM. We have also talked about it on the forum the last days...

Yes, I can do that. Give me a couple of days, away for weekend and only on my iPad for now.

There is a version of VillageBox at this link (http://dl.dropbox.com/u/18945176/Village_in_space.iso) with Spacefm as default FM.
The thread to discuss it is here (http://linuxvillage.net/index.php/topic,118.0.html).

Hi,
Taco, I would suggest you add "- With SpaceFM " at the end of your title, in the Village in space topic, to make it more clear.

I think he was doing a play-on-words with the title.

So do I, however I first thought it might be a new sort of astronomy version, and after thought I think adding what I suggested above would be good to ease any future related research.

Well, that did not fix the problem. There has to be some kind of configuration file somewhere for this blasted thing.

Hi,

There is no config file for that. There might be an option before building. In Archlinux drag and drop works, with the version I told you, in Ubuntu Precise it doesn't, but still the creation of a bookmark using the menus do work.

Check your directory/file permissions. I don't have access to a Lubuntu installation, so I'll have to list the output from DebGambas.
