ANN: lfm 0.8
by Iñigo Serna March 4, 2002

March 4, 2002

Hello, I've uploaded lfm v0.8 on its web site: http://www.terra.es/personal7/inigoserna/lfm [With this release, I have finished all the features I want for lfm, so I hope to release v1.0 in May. These 2 months will be spent fixing bugs and maybe adding features people want. Nevertheless current version is very robust and stable, I use it daily without problems.] lfm is a 'midnight commander'-clone written in Python and licensed under GNU Public License. It should work on any UNIX with a modern (n)curses library and Python curses module compiled in. See README file or visit the web page for more information. Changes since version 0.7: Version 0.8 ("Close to Paradise") - 2002/03/04: + Implemented VFS feature to enter into .tar.gz and .tar.bz2 files + Panelize vfs option in find/grep implemented + Tree panel implemented + 'lfm' and 'pyview' are simple scripts now, not just a copy of the .py files> __init__.py contains global variables now + A new message window is used to show work in progress, in place of a message in status bar. 'run_thread' function has been cleaned too + Copy / move features now use my own function to walk trees, instead of 'shutil.copytree' which originates some problems and bugs + In ChangePermissions window, the cursor movement is circular now + Change copyright date to years 2001-2 + I don't need a crypt / uncrypt feature, so eliminated from TODO list + Many bug fixes and functions rewrites. See ChangeLog for complete list - lfm: * if panel2 shows 'a' file in panel, and in panel1 'a' is moved or deleted, lfm crashes * after moving a file cursor goes to next directory as deletion does * catching an exception after not been able to copy => it crashed when trying to delete copied files * "messages.SelectItem, messages.FindfilesWin, messages.MenuWin, messages.ChangePerms: upperleft corner disappears" * findgrep: fix bug: if selected file has a ':' in name - pyview: * changing 'addch' by 'addstr' shows individual chars >= 0xA0 (meta chars) correctly, neither in reversed video or as 2 chars * "if wrap mode => fix prev/next page & up/down cursor". Now they move to screen lines, not to physical lines Best regards, Iñigo Serna
