The Enlightenment Project: [login to view URL] needs some hard coding to be completed and it's still in a development stage. One of the biggest things stopping its release is the development of the Enlightenment File Manager. All the details about what needs to be completed in the EFM can be found here: [login to view URL] So, this bid request is all about completing these development steps in the EFM. The result of this work WILL BE RELEASED as OpenSource code, under the original Enlightenment license. The coder/coders accomplishing this work will need to KEEP IN TOUCH with the Enlightenment developers community, so that he can know what to do exactly and so that the work can be optimized. Enlightenment developers are already working on EFM, of course, so communication is essential to avoid duplicated efforts on the same problems. ## Deliverables The requirements are readable from the Enlightenment WIKI webpage provided in the description, in any case, here's the summary: What needs to be done is, basically: * fix all bugs in fm2 so it is reliable and works. remove this when we have known bugs gone. * fm2's removable device handling is pretty hacky with symlinks to .desktop files on Desktop... make cleaner (maybe not use actual files). * fm2 needs to handle making links/shortcuts. See bug [#214][1] * fm2 "favorites" doesn't remember window geometry. * fm2 file ops have no progress indication (put in the window the op is being done in as overlay). need progress bars of some sort. If the window is closed, the operation progress should detach and be at a central place, possible register on-going operations in a central registry and create a gadcon (desktop/shelf) to show it, or even a module to show it as a separate window. * fm2 "delete" key needs to... delete. * fm2 rename file in-place now (as edje has entries now). **MINOR** * ****fm2 needs gui to set background/overlay (custom per dir). **GUI, EASY, MINOR****** * **********fm2 "set as background" doesn't work well...********** * **************fm2 needs to remember scroll position per window.************** * ******************fm2 file ops all need to work reliably in all situations with errors handled appropriately. This should be the case, if not fill bug reports.****************** * **********************fm2 dnd between fm2 and other apps needs to be reliable/correct (broken to other apps atm). Test at least with Thunar (XFCE), Nautilus (Gnome) and Dolphin (KDE4).********************** * **************************fm2 "open with..." dialog needs to go down to 1 list, not 2. ilist needs to be fixed to handle such big lists of stuff. This single list would list at top applications to handle that mime type and then a separator/header followed by all available applications.************************** * ******************************fm2 kbd shortcuts (ctrl+x/c/v, delete) should work.****************************** * **********************************alt+arrows for forward/back nav (if not multi-window mode), possible a efm_nav shortcut?********************************** * **************************************fm2 preview plugin (so modules can be written to handle a file preview). **GUI, COSTLY, MINOR**************************************** * **********************************************fm2 auto-mount on insert for removable devices, possible import places to e/src/modules (with a better name?) See [#229][2]********************************************** * ****************************************************fm2 config to use windows-multi-sel keys instead of mac**************************************************** ****************************************************So, this bid request is all about completing these development steps in the EFM. I'm the creator of a Linux distro called OpenGEU. My distro uses Enlightenment as its Window Manager and main desktop shell, therefore I need it to be stable as soon as possible. If this bid request is going to work, espect more bids about Enlightenment in the future. ****************************************************
