qtFM is a file manager based on pure Qt.

2013-07-23 - 5.5-1 ∞

5.5-1 tested 2013-07-23 on i686 Lubuntu 13.04, updated recently.

Issues ∞

• At first it didn't let me copy-paste a file into its same directory. Then later it would quietly make a copy of it.

  • I would prefer it ask me for a new filename.
• I did get it to segfault when leaning on "back", via a hotkey I reassigned to cursor-left

• It's difficult to tell what tab I'm on.

  • This is a standard issue with other file managers. My default theme sucks.

• There is no delete confirmation. What. The. Fuck.

  • I also see no built-in way to get to my trashcan.
• While I do want Esc to cancel a dialog (why is this customizable?) I'd prefer to use it to return to the main file list.
• I don't really understand how to edit the shortcuts list.

• I don't know how to get lxterminal to work as the default term, to chdir into the current location. Maybe I'd have to call a wrapper script for that.

qtfm installation on i686 Ubuntu ∞

There's no i686 .deb, so I had to install some i386 compatibility libraries. This reveals a bit more of the weight of the application.

\sudo  \apt-get  install \
  libqtgui4 \
    libqtgui4:i386 \
    libaudio2:i386 \
    libmng1:i386 \
    libqt4-declarative:i386 \
      libqt4-network:i386 \
        libqt4-dbus:i386 \
          libqt4-xml:i386 \
      libqt4-script:i386 \
      libqt4-sql:i386 \
      libqt4-xmlpatterns:i386 \
    libqtcore4:i386 \
  ` # I discovered this dependency when trying to launch qtfm ` \
  libmagic1:i386 \
` # `
\sudo  \dpkg  --install  *.deb
