Thanx.

What do you mean by "not much eating free space"?

ill Decompile everyone's Idea and insert to my Super Computer

Oh, you mean it does not take up a ton of space ;).

New update (soon):
- recoding for compatibility with interact.
- fixing some gui annoyances

To be patient, the key is.

Suggestions:
-allow to write path directly on the bottom line (if path doesn't exist then go back to root)
-add mouse wheel for scroll
-remove 'cancel' for menu and allow to get out of it by clicking outside of it

If you already planned these, then I don't have anything to say. The gui is nice, the controls are ok. It's a good file explorer!

I got suggestions!
- Network file hosting, like an FTP server. An actual FTP server, which sends any file in a folder on request, with ID white/blacklists, forever.
- Along with that, a means of connecting to the FTP server and viewing the contents that you have permission to in the normal folder icon interface.
(the file structure would go like this:
/
rom/
filex
filexserv/
|| server_name_1/ --Could be named anything, and houses the whole server. For organization.
|| || sec --The file containing, for each data folder, either a password, an ID white/blacklist, or both. Also contains a string name that's shown when connecting to a server from the FileX client. Is not manually made, instead made through a premade GUI.
|| || data1/ --Contains the files and folders you actually see when connecting.
|| || || files...
|| || data2/ --Another folder with different data
|| || || other files...


contents of /filexserv/server_name_1/sec {

--Lists all passwords and whitelists for servers.

servers = {
    server1 = {
        serverName = "server_name_1"
        serverPassword = "swordfish"
        serverWhitelist = {1,2,5,78,389,390,391}
        serverBlacklist = {8,9}
    }
    server2 = {
        serverName = "server_name_2"
        serverPassword = nil
        serverWhitelist = {}
        serverBlacklist = {8,9}
    }


end of contents

Get what I'm saying?
)

BTW, I saw your thing about 215 posts. If you respond, then we'll both have 216!

This already exists. It's called FileNet and is hidden somewhere on the forums. Actually, I firstly developed FileNet as a test app for IPnet and then modified it to create the glorious FileX. ;)

Thanks. What is your OS called and do you plan on publishing it?

I don't have a proper name for it yet, not like it matters since almost everything will be changeable from config files.
I don't know if I want to release it either, I'm still at the stage of making a bunch of APIs to make the code cleaner.
I'll also have my own installer, with custom path for the OS, bundled APIs, auto terminal-type detection (the main OS code will remain the same, but if you are using a non-advanced terminal for instance, then the apis will adapt), and also a few options in there.
Also, it will have monitor support, and will automatically adapt its size to the display you decide to boot it on.
Oh and uhm, something that I've seen missing from OSes lately: auto updating time display without requiring an event to happen for the screen to refresh. (People just don't seem to know how to do it nowadays)

I'll be asking authorization to you if I ever decide to release it with FileX as its file browser.

Sounds promising. ;)

I looked at your FIleNet, and it looks dreadfully complicated. Why not just add the server/client aspects into FileX, built in?

Ingame, I can't use the mouse scrollwheel to scroll in a folder. Also, what appears to be a scrollbar doesn't work when clicked and dragged, nor does it mvoe when I scroll with the arrow keys. Please fix!
