You can install the downloaded debfile using the command dpkg -i /path/to/rox-filer_2.12-ski_amd64.deb
This new version will not disturb your existing rox-filer configuration files.
It will write, and read from, files named"Options3" and"menus3" (ignoring the existing files, named"Options" and"menus2")
This new version has been successfully tested in antix16 and MX16 (sans"desktop-defaults-rox-antix")
shortlist of notable changes:
- in details view, columns are reorderable
(non-permanent ~~ custom order is discarded when rox-filer exits)
. - toolbar: additional buttons are available, and you can choose which buttons to show
. - optionally, toolbar buttons may be set to"display textlabels only (no icons)"
. - Double click on free space of the views.
If view is already auto-resized, window will expand to full size for sake of file drag/drop convenience
. - option to choose thumbnails size (small 64px, normal 128px, large 256px and huge 512px)
. - improved window auto-resize behavior (when items added, renamed, removed, or item updated)
. - Bookmarks: changed to save basename as a title (Full path was not easily viewable)
. - fixed ownership preservation while copying/moving dirs and symlinks (as root)
. - Regex Select" - just type some characters and all items containing that phrase will be highlighted
( try: type"local" in /usr/bin ) (also, refer to the screenshot attached to this forum post)
. - you can save custom window position & size, display style (and more) for individual directories
(if a custom icon has been assigned to a dir, that icon will display in that window titlebar while browsing the dir)
In"icon view", thumbnail images are shown for directory items with custom-assigned icons (vs stock 'dir' icon)
. - option to force zebra-striping of alternate lines in details view, in case your preferred GTK theme lacks striping
. - Pressing ESC ESC clears the multiple selection; pressing ESC '!' sends your selection straight to the command line.
. - new, optional (must enable via Options dialog) LINKED WINDOWS functionality.
Provides side-by-side, locked-together windows ~~ ala fluxbox"tabbed windows".
(avoids the need to Alt+tab in order to keep track of multiple opened, stacked windows.)
-=-
If enabled, can be activated by selecting a directory item in the rox-filer view, then performing
mouse scroll while hovering an empty spot on rox-filer toolbar.
While LinkedWindows mode is active, special glyphs are shown in the titlebar of each of the dual windows.
You can independently navigate within each window, with quick drag-n-drop access to the sibling window.
. - upon navigating to parent directory, rox provides a visual callout (wink+focus) indicating the subdir you just exited
. - provides visual differentiation: pointing hand cursor when hovering clickable item
(vs normal cursor when cursor is pointed at background, aka"blank space" aka"space between items")
This is important usability consideration b/c right-click menu differs based on the context
. - right-click of toolbar"Up" button will open a new window containing the PARENT of the currently-viewed dir
. - clicking column headers performs columnsort view (pre-existing feature?)
. - All references to"0install","zeroinstall","0launch","0compile" have been removed from Rox-Filer Manual.
Functionality related to these mechanisms is now deprecated, and the supporting code has been removed.
. - revised and expanded labeltexts and tooltips throughout the Options dialog tabs
