Ported Dingux Commander, a file browser/manager for [Dingux platform](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dingoo). With some minor tweaks it runs fine on GameShell. ![shot05](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex029/uploads/clockworkpi/original/2X/a/a0d79abed6ec8f39c68c953070c3b4aaa7a50cf1.png) Original sources: [http://beyondds.free.fr/index.php?Dingoo-dinguxcommander](http://beyondds.free.fr/index.php?Dingoo-dinguxcommander) and [GitHub - gcwnow/DinguxCommander: Two-pane file manager in the style of Norton Commander](https://github.com/gcwnow/DinguxCommander) > **DinguxCommander** is a file manager for [Dingoo A320](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dingoo) (Dingux). > It uses two vertical panels side by side, one being the source and the other the destination, like many ‘commander-style’ file managers such as Norton Commander or Midnight Commander. > DinguxCommander allows to: > o Copy, move and delete multiple files. > o View a file > o Execute a file > o Rename a file/dir > o Create a new directory > o Display disk space used by a list of selected files/dirs > o Display disk information (used, available) To install on GameShell (OS v0.2), `ssh` to it and issue: ```auto curl -sL https://github.com/pleft/DinguxCommander/releases/download/v2.1.0-GS.2/DinguxCommander-v2.1.0-GS.2.tar.gz | tar -xvz --directory "/home/cpi/apps/Menu/" ``` Then reload the UI and navigate the main menu and launch `DinguxCommander` Key shortcuts: ```auto UP // Up RIGHT // Right DOWN // Down LEFT // Left PAGEUP // Shift-Select PAGEDOWN // Shift-Start OPEN // A PARENT // B OPERATION // X BACKSPACE // Y SELECT // SELECT TRANSFER // START SYSTEM // MENU ``` Github repo: [GitHub - pleft/DinguxCommander: Two-pane file manager in the style of Norton Commander](https://github.com/pleft/DinguxCommander) ---

Is it hard to change Y to Menu key ? ---

It is not hard to do it, in fact I had the `Menu` button mapped instead of `Y` at first place, however the integrated virtual keyboard of DinguxCommander uses this `system` button (Menu or Y or whatever is mapped to it) also for backspace and that would lead to pressing the `Menu` button in order to delete a letter which I found it a little cumbersome for use. Decoupling this and also maintaining the default behavior when building for other systems e.g. dingoo, gcw0 would take some extra effort. excerpt from `keyboard.cpp` ```auto case MYKEY_SYSTEM: // Y => Backspace l_ret = backspace(); break; ``` Of course I could just change the mapping and provide the info in the virtual keyboard that backspace is mapped to `Menu` key. If you find it more practical I can do it. ---

Updated as per @guu suggested. `MENU` button opens the system menu and `Y` as backspace in the virtual keyboard. I will also update the original post > **[pleft/DinguxCommander](https://github.com/pleft/DinguxCommander/releases/tag/v2.1.0-GS.2)** > > Two-pane file manager in the style of Norton Commander - pleft/DinguxCommander ---

Hi @Ed_Lim very sorry to hear that. However there is no delete button, to delete a file or folder first you select it with the up/down keys then press X to show the context menu, then choose delete and finally choose Yes in the confirmation dialog. I tested it many times and it always delete the selected file/folder. Are you sure that you did select the correct item to delete? Are you sure you were in the correct left/right pane? I mean probably you selected the right file on the left pane then accidentally pressed the right key moved to the right pane and then pressed the X key and deleted something else than the desired. If you followed another procedure to delete the file and ended up deleting the whole folder can you please document it? ---

true, just found out. But it’s on `~/apps/launcher/Menu/GameShell` to be precise. Otherwise, it loaded by default Dingux instead of the menu launcher on my 0.2 device (have to update img soon) ---
