Since I updated to latest CSSU Thumb, filebox takes forever to load (2-3 minutes) and locks up the CPU while loading. Though, once loaded, works perfectly. Even when loaded from terminal, takes forever, and does not show any errors. Tried unistalling and reinstalling, but did not make any difference. Is anyone else experiensing this or it is just me? Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance.

Edit: I found the culprit. The directory /home/user/.thumbnails/filebox must have been corrupt and had over 40000 files in it. Deleted the folder and all is back to normal.

Haven't had that problem but thanks for bumping as I wanted to ask a question of my own. How can I start multiple instances of Filebox?

I do not see your loading problem either.

As for the other issue, try "filebox" from a terminal. Works or me.

At least from terminal:
Code:
filebox & filebox

Can you provide exact steps and/or a screencast etc.
I can reproduce this.
Start FileBox
Multiple selection = ON
Create new directory: Testingbug
Go to that directory
Create new directory: First
Create new directory: Second
Change sorting: Sort by date, newest first.
-> You see (in this order): Second, First
Touch directory First (the bottom one)
-> "First" is moved to the most upper on the list.

Thank You Sir, I was struggling with the same thing for over few months now. To open Filebox I had to wait 3-4''. Deleting the folder that You pointed out was 5" long, and all crap that was there it is hard to name (around 23000 files) of 23ft23876.jpg.png.png.png.png - and so on. Thanks again.

I read two threads about existing bugs and feature requests and gathered them to the wiki page: http://wiki.maemo.org/FileBox

There are also empty chapter for manual (just fill it, please).

I'm planning to do some fixing. Ade, what are your plans? I will start with creating git repository, but should I continue with this name or create fork?

Just out of curiosity - why not contributing to Hamster filer, instead? It have active maintainer (who still is very glad to accept contributions), have readable and well commented code, etc...

AFAIK, gdizzz, Hamster filer creator, also started with plans of contributing to Filebox, but changed plans after getting severe headache, while trying to get through Filebox source code

Not trying to discourage anyone - it may be just silly to split resources.

You are right, not wise to split resources. Seems that Hamster Filer has better future.
