Re: PCManFM/libfm calls for heavy testing
Hi,
I tested the latest version. Whats still missing (even though it is in the source code) is Shortcut(Hotkey) support on the desktop.
In the filemanager the delete key is not working. I made a quick patch (hopefully that works :P) [see attachment]
Btw. shift delete should delete a file directly without moving to trash.
