LXDE Forums

I modify pcmanfm with this features:
- inotify support complete
- vfs volume support without hal (the both modifications allows to use pcmanfm without any other daemon, the kernel does every thing)
- buggy KDE *.desktop files support partially
- few bug fix (mime cache monitoring, dialog box without installation, ...)
- version 0.6 for me

Pcmanfm does every thing that I want now, then I stop the development.
Thank you for all I hope that you will like my modifications...

Sounds great. Where can your version be downloaded?

Hello,
join here the patch to apply to the directory pcmanfm-0.5

> ls
pcmanfm-0.5 patch-0.5-0.6.2.gz
> cd pcmafm-0.5
> zcat ../patch-0.5-0.6.2.gz | patch -p 1
> ./autogen.sh
> make
> make install

I added:
- the previous features.
- kde themes full support
- .directory file support

Thank you for the patch. Somehow it did not work. My steps were: I downloaded a fresh copy of PCManFM 0.5 from SourceForge, extracted it, and applied your patch. This produced many errors, see the attached file "patch.log.gz". I ran "autogen.sh" nevertheless, but it did not run to completion, see the attached file "autogen.sh.log.gz".

There isn't critical error, all of them come from the use of different version of autotools (autoheader, aclocal, automake, autoconf)
Delete the files:
- configure
- all Makefile.in
- autom4te.cache
- aclocal.m4
After run the commands:
if Makefile is present
> make distclean
and after:
> libtoolize --force --copy
> autoheader
> aclocal
> automake
> autoconf
> ./configure --prefix=/usr --enable-fam --enable-inotify (--disable-hal)
> make
> make install

Since you look like you know your coding...

Can you help me to hack pcmanfm so it doesn't display the godawful annoying "My Documents" icon on the desktop?

I tried to comment out lines 1831-1844 in src/desktop/desktop-window.c - that removes the icon but also causes pcmanfm to freeze when trying to display right click menu on the desktop (menu provided by pcmanfm).

any help would be really appreciated.

Sorry, it did not work.

My program versions, as found by running "<progname> --version": autoheader 2.63, aclocal 1.10.1, automake 1.10.1, autoconf 2.63, libtoolize 2.2.6, m4 1.4.11, gettext 0.17, intltoolize 0.37.1, gcc 4.3.2. GTK+ 2.14.4 is installed in /usr/local, with its PKGCONFIG-file in /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig, which is listed in the PKG_CONFIG_PATH.

I can play with it over the weekend, but maybe you see the problem faster. Here is what I did:

There was no Makefile, so I did not run these.

There is a lot of problems with autotools version.

try to run ./autogen.sh

or you can use this "configure.gz" that you gunzip first.

Hello,
here my patch from the svn repository.
Added:
- from 2 to 4 buttons on the bottom of the side panel: first the dir tree, the system button (HOME, DESKTOP, ROOT, BOOKMARKS), the network button (HOME, NETWORK), the host button (HOME, REMOVABLE, ROOT)

I forgot the file, sorry
