bvc Posted December 13, 2002 Report Share Posted December 13, 2002 Ater using it for about a month WITHOUT ONE SINGLE PROBLEM, I thought I'd let everyone know about it that didn't already. I had been using rox and gmc for features independent of each other, and I just saw this as silly and just got tired of it. Endeavour's all I use now :) BUT, you have to set up the mime associations yourself. Once you figure out how to do it it's no biggy. There's a graphical config for this. Check it out and get it here http://wolfpack.twu.net/Endeavour2/ or get it here (add to sources, and urpmi here as well :wink: ) ftp://mandrake.redbox.cz/Mandrake-devel/c...Mandrake/RPMS2/ google Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Endeavour's all I use nowWhat do you mean? Do you mean that Endeavour can do the toolbar/panel, and the desktop icons, like Rox does?

MottS Posted December 13, 2002 Report Share Posted December 13, 2002 I'm tired of KDE so I started to use IceWM couple days ago and I was looking for a light file manager. So I downloaded and installed Endeavour 2.1.20 (they have a MDK RPM on their website) and IT ROCKS !!! It load in half a second and we can do everything with that !! BUT, you have to set up the mime associations yourself. Once you figure out how to do it it's no biggy. There's a graphical config for this. Just one problem here though. I can't figure how to set the mime types. I clic View->Mime-types and a windows appears. Now if I clic file/regular and enter stuff in the empty boxes, the 'OK' button neven get green .. so I have no choise to press the 'Cancel' button. How did you set that ? Could you post your mimetypes.ini here so that we import it ? .. would be simple since we both use mandrake and use pretty much the same apps. That would be C()()L and easier...

bvc Posted December 14, 2002 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2002 I found it easier to learn what it wants by editing the .ini file. Now I use the gui editor. I haven't had the chance to clean this up yet, because I've been configing Mutt 1.4i. :wink: Actually, it was late when I posted this and I forgot to give Crashdamage the credit of telling me about it and emailing me his mimetypes.ini. I think there's a few duplications and I don't use emacs. Eventually, I hope to get xsu working with rpms and tarballs ect...

Do you mean that Endeavour can do the toolbar/panel, and the desktop icons, like Rox does? Well, with gmc, it's a pain to open a file, and rt click and scroll is a pain. With rox it's convenient to open a program, but the single view gets old and I could'nt get xsu to work for tarballs, and rpms, though I didn't try for very long. Endeavour give me a dual pane display and the convenience of easily opening a file. It also has a "terminal, and "Archiver" shortcut in the toolbar for quick access. Haven't tried xsu yet. No, no icon bar :( . Actually I think the bar thing is ugly, but I guess it's the price you pay to not run a slow resource hog of a desktop like gnome or kde.

MottS Posted December 14, 2002 Report Share Posted December 14, 2002 THANKS !!!!!!!!!!! I had figured out the BeginMIMEType = 1 thing but didn't know about the = 2. It's nice !!! I like it. Thanks for telling us and sharing your mimetype.ini file. Thanks to crash too !! MOttS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crashdamage Posted December 14, 2002 Report Share Posted December 14, 2002 bvc forgot to metion Endeavour2 also has a really nice Image Browser and optional Image Viewer that's pretty good. It's simply the best GUI file manager I've ever used - very fast, very stable, very customizable. Ya just gotta get through the mime-types thing...well... If anyone wants to try Endeavour2 out, I'd be glad to send them my mimetypes.ini file. Just ask and I'll post it here or email it to you. It's not really that hard to figure out how to do it with the little GUI tool or by manually editing the mimetypes.ini file, but using mine will save some time and let you play around with Endeavour2 right away. I've been gradually adding to mimetypes.ini for several months and it's fairly complete now. Has a few additions since I sent it to bvc, like icons for the apps in the "Open with:" list, etc. Nah, Endeavour2 won't do desktop icons in Fluxbox, Blackbox, etc. You can always use KDE or something if you like 'em. Since switching to Fluxbox a few months ago now I just find them annoying. Reminds me of the old, slow Windoze way of doing things. The more I use Linux, the more I find myself gettin' farther and farther away from anything that looks like Windoze...using Winshaft at work drives me nuts now...where's my quick little Flux menu??? But to each his own...that's the beauty of Linux! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
