Shallot file manager

p_i_n_o · 07-10-2016, 01:08 PM

Hello.

I want to announce Shallot, a file manager for Linux (and Windows). It is designed to be very flexible. And it has a plugin api

It would be great to get some feedback from you! https://pseudopolis.eu/wiki/pino/projs/shallot/ brings you to the website.

Greetings
Josef

Building now. Looks great!

I encountered some build errors. Maybe it's for Windows compat, not sure, but Qt docs suggest mostly these are all deprecated. Reference: https://wiki.qt.io/Transition_from_Qt_4.x_to_Qt5

I'm building with Qt5.6 on Linux.

I can send patches if you prefer, but the corrections are pretty simple:

1. In the <QtGUI/blah> #includes, you don't need to specify path. QtCreator resolves these for you, and it was causing errors for me. So I removed "<QtGUI/". I added "QT += widgets" to the shallot.pro file to ensure paths got resolved.

Code:

find ../shallot-0.96.2406 -type f -iname "*cpp" -exec sed -i 's_<QtGUI/Q_<Q_g' {} \;
find ../shallot-0.96.2406 -type f -iname "*.h" -exec sed -i 's_<QtGUI/Q_<Q_g' {} \;
echo "QT += widgets" >> shallot.pro

2. UnicodeUTF8 is deprecated when translating.

Code:

find ../shallot-0.96.2406 -type f -iname "*cpp" -exec sed -i 's/, QApplication::UnicodeUTF8//g' {} \;

3. line 599 of shallot.pro is missing a \ at end of line.

Oh, thank you very much

You are a fast guy^^

I will try to apply that in the next few days. I'm also not sure about the reason so far. It compiled here

But: The "QT += widgets" is already there, or why have you added it?

p_i_n_o · 07-10-2016, 02:50 PM

Oh, and by the way: You must enable the "CONFIG += ..." in the shallot.pro file (see first few lines) for some features.

Oh, I didn't notice "QT += widgets" was already there. I see it now, right there at the top. Cheers.

It's up and running :-)

I'll try it out this week and see how it goes!

Thanks for the gpl3 software!

You're welcome; great if it runs

I tried to patch what you found. For the include thing, I found something regarding QtConcurrent and QtXml and fixed that. But I could not find UnicodeUTF8 anywhere in my code. Maybe it was something from the qt lib itself?
