Thanks for your work.
how do I use it as the default file manager in LXQT (archlinux)
Thanks in advance and good luck.

One way that I know of, is open the "Configuration Center" (type lxqt-config in a terminal). In that double-click on "File Associations". In the dialog that opens, please select "inode/directory". In the right side panel you can set the default application.

I think your qt5 is too old you may have to upgrade it to 5.6.x.

I'm using Debian/Testing and the Qt5 version is 5.5.1 I'd rather not upgrade it to 5.6 unless there is a compelling reason. However, if you post the error message, I could find a fix for it.

With Qt4:

May I know which version of libarchive you are using? Im using libarchive 3.1.2 on Debian Stretch. Here it defines the function as

Quote:int archive_read_data_block(struct archive *, const void **buff, size_t *len, off_t *offset);

Perhaps an older version of libarchive or the one in your system uses int?

Please provide me with the details listed below, and I shall try to resolve the issue.
1. System Architecture (x86, x64, arm, etc..)
2. GCC version (Im assuming you are using GCC)
3. LibArchive version.

I'm very sorry for those interminable update notifications. It seems there was a problem with my browser, which was not redirecting and i was ending up with the edit page again and again. :( :(

I have just tried NewBreeze and I have several comments/suggestions:

Would it be possible to have the toolbar use the same icon theme as the main area? Also I am using a tiling window manager and NewBreeze's psuedo-titlebars stand out greatly. I think it would be preferable to just let the window manager handle it.

Would it be possible to make the Settings and Properties windows into dialog boxes (similar to NewBreeze Info) instead of full windows? I'd rather my tiling manager didn't tile them but I still want the main window tiled.

Would it be possible to have a button or menu option for toggling hidden files? Likewise it would be nice to be able to access Settings without having to use a keyboard shortcut.

Thank you anonymous one for your feedback. I disabled the native title bar support 'coz it looks bad (as in chrome). I have now added the support for choosing the native title bar support or disabling it.

I have also added theme for toolbar.

As for Settings and Properties Windows, they already are dialogs, same as to NewBreeze Info.

I have also added the buttons.

Hope you enjoy the experience.

NewBreeze is looking better however it seems that some UI widgets are not native-looking (compared to my GTK theme). I am using the Greybird GTK theme and in NewBreeze the context menus are light grey with a dark grey selection color whereas greybird has white menus with a blue selection color. The scrollbars and the checkbox (for titlebar appearance) also appear incorrectly.

Also it would be nice if the "switch list mode" button used a menu rather than a simple toggle. Its a little tedious to switch between two views when you have to go through them all.

Also it appears that the shortcut for "AboutNB" isn't working. I tried changing it to something else but the shortcut fails to do anything.

Press the "Switch View Mode button" for a second or two and a menu will popup. As for AboutNB..., well I'll fix it. It seems when native title bar support is enabled, then AboutNB shortcut becomes useless.

ошибка: No rule to make target `Gui/Others/Settings/*.cpp', needed by `build/objs/*.o'. Stop.

Since I do not use Qt Creator myself, I have no idea why that problem arises. I might be because of the missing DEPENDPATH variable in my .pro file. I shall check it out and let you know.

Turn off option "Shadow" in Projects->Build Settings

Why I can't compile this project with Qt Creator? qmake && make, but I want with Qt Creator. Thanks.
My error:No rule to make target Gui/Others/Settings/*.cpp. But If in .pro file I write absolute paths it works.

Ah I'm sorry. It seems I forgot the -lz. Never needed it in mine for some reason. Its added and the package is updated now.

Seems that subj's svn is rip...

Ah! My internet connection is not good, it's been annoying to work via svn/git/hg. So the SVN contains only the version that I have released. You'll miss nothing.

I have updated the SVN link. It's no longer sourceforge. I have switched over to github. And it's being updated regularly ( atleast once in two or three days ) :)

Thanks.
