Polo File Manager

[Fornhamfred]

Looks as if you installed a new liboffice6.1 and liboffice6.0 got removed?

Libreoffice 6.0.1.1 is installed, why would this output be generated?

[Richard]

I've seen that message when using a launcher that I created using, for example, libreoffice6.0;
then after installing libreoffice6.1, I had to change all the launchers that I had created from *6.0 to *.6.1

That may not be your problem, since you say that libreoffice6.0 is actually installed.

[Fornhamfred]

No liboffice6.1 is not and has not ever been installed.

"Completely removed" polo using Synaptic (though this did not remove all the dependencies that were installed the first time round). Installed again from Test Repo using MXPI. This time, also installed the dbgsym package.

No change, still doesn't open when I click on it in whisker menu.

With terminal, still get the segmentation fault problem.

Code: Select all

Tried installing polo in my other MX17 partition that has the mx18-dev and the Stevo OBS repos enabled .

Doesn't help. Still not working.

I'm not bothering anymore, since I don't even use Polo.

Tried this and still get the same output as previous post.
Installing with mxpi gave this output:

Disappointing but probably not surprising given lack of development - so the search for the better linux file manager will continue elsewhere: from the github page: https://github.com/teejee2008/polo/issues/27

teejee2008 commented 25 days ago

This project is not currently a priority for me. Developing this application is time-consuming and I don't have the time or finances to work for free on something that does not bring any income ( I already have a full-time job ). Making it paid also does not make any sense as very few people will buy it.

If someone wants to fork this project please go ahead. This is a open-source project that anybody can fork and develop. What is the point of open-source if everybody keeps complaining to the same developer to do the work? Open-source does not mean free labour... it means free access to code. An open source project where everyone is waiting for a single developer is pointless. It might as well be closed-source.

As far as archiving this project is concerned, I'm not finished with it. I still use it everyday and it is good enough for my use. I will be releasing another version when I get the time. It may happen tomorrow or it may happen 10 years from now. That is the nature of open-source development.

If somebody has experience with implementing drag-and-drop in GTK please go ahead and implement the changes. You can either fork this project or send me a pull request.

I have archived this project. I will be releasing this project again under a paid licence at some point in the future (maybe next year if I get the time).

If someone wants to fork this project please go ahead. This is a open-source project that anybody can fork and develop.

For people who are still using this app there is no need to be disappointed. I'm going to take my time finishing this app before I launch it again. When it launches again, it will be a finished product with a regular development cycle. And as a paid app you will have some surety that the project is sustainable.

[Jerry3904]

That is too bad. I had high hopes for it.

A bit of necromancing, sorry for that, but.... I really love PoloFM and it's been my default FM in non-KDE environments since I found about it (probably more than 3 years?). Is there any chance that MX community (well, dev team) would continue/fork its development? Not much to do, I believe. It works fine on several MX21XFCE machines.
