zip.cpp: 9 * bad catch type ?

dcb — Sun, 25 Jun 2017 08:14:41 -0000

zip.cpp:364:24: warning: catching polymorphic type 'class CZipException' by value [-Wcatch-value=]

Source code is

catch (CZipException e) {

Maybe better code

catch (const CZipException & e) {

There are eight duplicates in the same file.

Where can I get v0.6.72 (or later) which has this bugfix? The latest version I see on sourceforge is 0.6.70

F2 key to rename files does not work anymore.

crisp23 — Wed, 26 Dec 2012 20:39:11 -0000

I just upgraded my system from debian squeeze to wheezy.
Now when I use tuxcmd the F2 key to rename files/dirs does not work anymore. Clicking on the button at the bottom works as intended.
Every other F key works.

I compiled latest git version, same problem.

Zip Pluging is ignoring JAR files

It would be nice if Zip plugin could read jar files and step into them just like in zip files

check error status problem

abduleczek — Tue, 07 Feb 2012 10:20:49 -0000

hi,
there is one important problem in tuxcmd. I use the last one snapshot.
How to reproduce:
1. open tuxcmd
2. copy file from one panel to second (different directory)
3. if file not exists it will be ok
4. if file exists then you will see overwrite question. its ok
5. but if you choose overwrite you will see second question dialog 'The file could not be deleted'
6. its dangerous, because now if you choose skip old destination file will be deleted
explanation:
file: UCoreWorkers.pas line:1319
r := ord(DestEngine.Remove(NewFilePath, nil));
while r <> 0 do begi
Procedure 'Remove' returns boolean. If true and after ord r will be <>0, but true is good not error.
So in this case file will be removed at first, and next dialog 'The file could not be deleted' will be showed.

its possible there are similar problems in other places.
I attached patch, that resolved this issue, but I'm not a programmer.
thanks&regards

Wrong filesize in pane

Roland Schaeuble — Tue, 24 May 2011 20:59:49 -0000

Large files are displayed with wrong file size in the pane. If I select the file,the correct file size is displayed in the status bar (in kBytes).
E.g the file has a size of 5602869248 bytes. It is displayed as 1307901352 in the pane and 5471552kb in the status bar.

feature req.: use xdg-utils to open files with preffered app

Anonymous — Wed, 23 Feb 2011 18:20:40 -0000

x11-misc/xdg-utils
Homepage: http://portland.freedesktop.org/
Description: Portland utils for cross-platform/cross-toolkit/cross-desktop interoperability

is an easy way to implement automatic file-extension -> action association. xdg-utils could be a runtime dependency of tuxcmd and the default action would be to use xdg-open for any extension.

feature req.: automount on changing directory

Pavel Stratil — Sun, 20 Feb 2011 01:14:17 -0000

Suppose an /etc/fstab entry to mount a remote share to /mnt/remote. it would be cool if tuxcmd would on cd to somewhere below /mnt/remote/:
* if share is already mounted to /mnt/remote, do nothing
* if share is not mounted, ask if it should be mounted ( {mount | do not mount} then cd)
thanks

feature req.: use iconthemes

Pavel Stratil — Sun, 20 Feb 2011 01:07:27 -0000

I'd suggest tuxcmd to use iconthemes.
* use either system's icontheme + action associations
* if the above is too complicated to detect, let user select iconthemes directory and use the mimetypes icons. use along with /etc/mime.types (available on gentoo but I suppose this is on every distro. if not, gentoo's mimetype <> extension association could be used).
* use some nice modern default icontheme (will give tuxcmd lots of polish at the expense of a few extra kB of bundled icons). suggestion: http://tiheum.deviantart.com/art/Faenza-Icons-173323228 (Faenza icon theme) since using squarish icons is probably most suitable for in a fixed row layout tuxcmd has.

icon of archives (zip, maybe some others) hardcoded

Pavel Stratil — Sun, 20 Feb 2011 00:40:44 -0000

the default icon wont be overridden by using settings/filetype
