Hi People,
For those of you who are new to this,
http://www.allabouter6.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=3256
FileOp is a simple file viewer as of the moment, I plan to develop it further and add more features until it becomes ..... (I am not sure yet, but maybe something 'like' Seleq)
In this thread I wish to discuss with everyone, how I am progressing with the development and what are the issues being tackled. If someone can help me out GREAT!!. Otherwise, it will be journal others can look up some time.

On J2TheIzzo's Advice, I have taken up List style navigation on a priority basis (This was intended, but would have been down the line).
The next release (probably 0.2 ver) would include list style navigation. I am thinking of supporting multiple views (sorta like Norton Commander) so that copying files is easier, I will have to look into that though..
I am having a little bit of trouble setting the text font in an CAknSingleStyleListBox.. Doesnt seem to change the font at all thought a normal CEikTextListBox works with font change (but for some strange reason the highlight of current item doesnt work 😞 )
So hopefully I shall have these issue sorted out soon, I am getting some icons made too so that the application looks professional. I am planning to keep the label that displays file properties.
If someone has some ideas that need to be implemented, can you please post them here ?? (Apart from the usual Cut, Copy Paste functionality 😊 )

Finally! I have got a list box up and running, just need to port the navigation stuff over to this architecture. But still unsatisfied with listbox performance since there seems to be an undesirable column line if there are lesser number of items.. How can this be fixed???
Going to try a few things.
Hopefully this version will be ready for release today.

Finally a fully qualified 0.2 release. The major change being that the archaic text box navigation is dumped for a neat list style interface (suspiciously looking like S***Q 😉 )
I wanted to add features like multiple directory browsing, and copy and paste but had to spend so much time just getting the list box running the right way.. (The CAkn classes seem to rigid and impossible to use).
I have removed the feature of the file properties (Hidden etc as well as Open flag). If you want it I can enable it in the future release. ?? Your comments.
In the next major version (I expect to release in 4 days time) should have the rudimentary copy/paste/delete etc (Basic File Op's 😊 ).
And also the previously promised Hex view.
I am sorry to those who expected these features in this release, unfortunately the problems faced were unexpected 😞.

Well my four days are over, but I am getting there to a release, though I am not quite sure what features to include ?? Let me see. I hope to release in a couple of days (I was down with the flu)....
