Re: Support for Portable Devices
Report from the lab: Making good progress. Next week you should be able to list your files on portable devices.

Excellent!
Just to clarify, when you say list your files, does that mean browse only? No copying/moving files to, from, or within?
Re: Support for Portable Devices
The answer I'd expect:
"Cool, keep cool "
(In other words: it seems Don's working step for step...)

C'mon, you don't really expect Don to come up with such a quarter-baked solution, don't you? Rather he would resign, I guess.Mesh wrote:Just to clarify, when you say list your files, does that mean browse only? No copying/moving files to, from, or within?

Re: Support for Portable Devices
Working on it around the clock, but it's really a LOT to do. Might take some more days before you see the next step...

Re: Support for Portable Devices
Moin Don,
More seriously, what about MTP is that challenging (perhaps better: 'kaputt') that even a gifted guy like you has to code day and night for such a long time?

Re: Support for Portable Devices
It's an interface to a file system format that could not have been predicted years ago. XY is a highly optimized machine. Optimization is largely based on assumptions. These assumptions are wrong now for many many places.

Re: Support for Portable Devices
I see, a major refactoring which is a highly sensible task even if planned (and right from the design stage). Thanks for the follow up.
Re: Support for Portable Devices
Yikes. Sounds like even more "fun". It's crazy how sometimes we plan so much but unexpected things always turn things a full 180.admin wrote:It's an interface to a file system format that could not have been predicted years ago.

Re: Support for Portable Devices
Hi Don,
Yeah, congrats to the next step! I hope, you have lots of arround.
Confirmations:
On my phone every file is shown as in WE, Breadcrumb and listing in drive lists works, too. Icons do match (see grindax's post).
Just to clarify, this includes displayment of folder sizes, right?
Where can I see this path? Better: is this relevant for a dumb user like me?
If you'll get in on par with WE it's ok. ;-)
Findings:
- on the first trials the new phone tab hasn't neither used the default list settings (every option was unchecked etc.) nor has remembered them upon configuration. After the 3rd or 4th trial it besame persistent as it seems.
After some more checks: This 'setting lost' somehow is related to the password activation of the lock screen. Update: Not really. Perhaps it's just a matter of time (waiting...), will observe further.
Yes, at least for the tree, the phone node just vanishes (automatically of by refreshing the list, for instance) from it after some minutes, even if the phone is till shown in the list (including drive list). Only a restart makes it reappear there (<F4> doesn't help).
Edit
--+ every hit on <F4> and almost every hit on <F5> makes the phone tree node go away over here!
--+ the quirks with the list settings are obviously associated with the newly introduced list modes for portable devices which are still in the making, in other words they seem to be expected.
- a path of an unplugged phone seems to survive in the Hotlist
- in some relation I haven't really understood yet the locked tree sometimes gets expanded upon plugin/off the phone (using the path of another tab)
- when switching layouts/tabsets with the SessionManager the tree entry gets lost on every switch. There must be a SC which causes this. Any ideas?
Btw, how can I make the default icon sticky on the tab?
Good job!

+ Portable Devices: Now you can browse a device in tree and list. You cannot
do much else yet, but the Breadcrumb Bar should work, the Address Bar, even
image thumbnails and thumbnails caching (though the thumbnails are much
smaller than under Windows).

You cannot do much else yet, ...
Code: Select all
- USB Path, aka "USB Device Path", is the "real" path to an item on a
Portable Device as it is understood by the Windows shell.
Code: Select all
- The speed is pretty lousy, ...There's is some room for optimization later...
