- and more...
The file simplefmdaemon.py is a dbus implementation of the freedesktop.org's file manager interface (let user launch SimpleFM from a browser after a file has been downloaded). The full path of the file SimpleFM.sh has to be setted in the file simplefmdaemon.py at line 23.
Support for drag and drop from my archive manager. For this operation it is used a custom solution, so no need of changing any window property.
The 'Shift key' behaviour: to select a certain amount of contiguous items, select the first, press the shift key and select the last; to move the selected items by using the shift key, press the shift key and start dragging the last selected item.
Mouse middle click to open the pointed folder. Middle click on the button in the bar to open that folder in a new tab.
Pkexec: a different solution has been implemented to avoid it: if chosed in the config file, sudo - with user password - will be used; alternatively, also the su command - with the root password - can be used, just comment out the sudo section and uncomment the su section in the file pkexec.sh. A dialog for asking the password will appear.
Customizations throu the cfg.py file.
Some custom modules are disabled: just remove "-t" from its file name to be enabled.
