Good news - bad news

I have good news and bad news. With which should I start?

("There are no bad or good news, there are just news." Kung Fu Panda )

The good news are that Qefem runs with Qt 4.7 without any modification and looks to be stable.

The bad news are I have a lots of work so no idea when the release will happen.

Qefem is now in Maemo devel repository!

http://maemo.org/packages/view/qefem/

N900 RC is out

The package is working and installing on N900. It got some special Maemo related features like the file list has an extra item at the bottom containing the full path of the directory, because the editor for path has been removed to increase more space for the list.
It can be downloaded from here:

http://qefem.googlecode.com/files/qefem_0.5-1_armel.deb

Now I will try to get the package to the maemo repos.

N900 updates

The new modifications are ready and working well on the device! :-)
There is a problem with the installation package that it doesn't put it into the menu, so it has to be started by command line.
As soon as it fixed, it will be released for public testing.

N900

Since in the office there is no windows machine now and at home neither, the win version will be paused for a while.
The good news is that we have N900 and N800 so I will focus on them. It will need some UI modification, the history tab will be removed cause it is has not enough space and it is not used so often. The editor from the bottom will be removed also cause it is not needed and will give bigger space to the file list. Lets hope soon there will be a good working release for N900! :-)

Karmic Koala menu

Now it installs into the Karmic Koala menu.

0.6 beta is out!

0.6 beta is released. Some new stuff there, like ALT+e opens the current file in editor, ALT+t opens a terminal in the current directory. Oh and the find functionality is there, in the background it uses dir command on win and find command on OSX and Linux. Some small bugfixes and the status feedback works better too. I have the feeling its getting more stable and mature, but it still needs some improvements.
Enjoy! :-)

Weather

The qefem development is depending on the weather, if its good then less development is done, when it bad then more...
Ok, not just the weather, it's also the amount of work at the office...

Qefem on N900

Finally I have seen Qefem running on device! :-)
It was possible to use, the basic functionalities were working. What was annoying, that the click was often handled as doubleclick. This will be fixed soon, probably using longpress.

Remote Maemo test

Its possible to test maemo apps remotely, if you have forum nokia account:

http://apu.ndhub.net/
http://www.forum.nokia.com/Technolog...Device_Access/



It is starting up as you see, but there are event handling problems, its useless because up and down arrows doesn't work and click is handled as doubleclick, it's not possible to choose any item. It needs more finetuning before release.

Asking help to test Qefem on maemo device

There is no device to test Qefem yet, do I asked on talk.maemo.org somebody to test it. Lets hope there will be a maemo release soon! :-)

Search

How can be the file search integrated to Qefem? One option is on win to integrate http://locate32.net, it is under BSD license, so if the source can be compiled with MinGW and can be added to UI. Maybe a search tab would be a good idea! But lets first fix the 0.5 bugs, there are lot of them.

Plans for 0.5 final

I have been using QeFeM from the release at the office and there was no crash even under heavy usage. Although I have to extend two shortcuts like Alt+E to open the current file in an editor and Alt+T to open a terminal to the current directory.

There are some things which are really annoying, like there is no feed back, when some operation fails, there is no question to overwrite the files, the scrolling is not moving the highlight but moves changes the path editor and there is no move and directory rename. Those things has to be fixed before 0.5 final.

I got also some ideas for 0.6, there will be a queue or record option, it gives an opportunity to do some file operations, but those will just logged, but they will not happen and later it can be executed or saved to a batch file or shell file. For example there is a need to copy thousands of zip files from the network drive and after those need to be unzipped.

Quicksearch would be also nice, but most probably it will happen only for 0.6.

New beta release

New 0.5 beta release has been arrived to http://code.google.com/p/qefem/downloads/list. Remember on Linux it starts with /usr/bin/Qefem !

Thanks to Z0z0 and other anonymous contributors for help.

Enjoy and bugreport!

Ubuntu release is on the way!

Surprise

So somebody put the stuff on Softpedia.
Sooner or later the intention was to publish it, but now its not ready for that, I hope the users notice that its Alpha!

At least it gives some motivation to come up with a new release as soon as possible and its good to set some goals for the 0.5 final.

0.5 alpha released on Win and OsX!

Maemo updates

Some things has been changed on maemo, like the drives tab removed, and also the zip button. It become fullscreen so it has to receive an exit button. Also drag and drop is disabled.

New UI Design

There was a need to make a new UI, in order to be user friendly on all platforms, even in smaller resolution. So here is a teaser!
