Example for KMPlayer:

• 1. Try to run from terminal.

• 2. Okay, then go to "/usr/share/applications/hildon" and reading ".desktop" file.
  "kmplayer.desktop"
  Exec="/opt/kmplayer/bin/kmplayer"
  It's path to binary - u can run it!
• 3. Try to run from Hamster.
  "/opt/kmplayer/bin/kmplayer %s" -> it's work - release & happy

"leafpad %s" -> working.
"evince %s" -> working too.
....

I think it's good feature request - preinstalled examples for applications, OR better - "Open with..." show dialog with list of applications, loaded from .desktop files - choose and auto add name and command with %s param favorites in top - it's really like "Open with...". And for commands other item menu...

If I'm ofline and go in Hamster Filer to / and then connect, the contents show up after my Skype icon goes green and show I'm online. And yes, I know this sounds like me or my N900 are on some heavy medication, but this is what is happening!

When you visit a folder and come back from it and delete it, it stay still in the "navigation bar" as a box you can choose (if you use that type of bar). If you click on it (I did, accidentally), the software goes black for a while as it loads something, and is momentarily unusable. After that you can resume using the software as you want. I also tried this with your latest version you released six hours ago.

For me (and as I suppose, for many other users), it's more convenient, than clicking on tabs. Could there be an option, to make it *default* way, in which path is presented? Currently, upon every start of hamster, one need to long-press it, as toggle trigger.

Excuse my absence, since the last update I was so busy that I could even hardly find time to sleep, but still I somehow managed to dedicate a few minutes now an then to this project and this is how, with much struggle, Hamster Filer 0.6.2 finally appears. There are no shiny features, but some useful improvements are present:

• Scrollbar position is restored after selecting a directory from the location bar or performing an operation which causes the file list to be reloaded.
• Location bar can be shown/hidden without reloading the file list.
• Some example application entries are created on the first run.
• Removed all traces of the menu bar of applications window when opening it in application-launching mode.
• Enabling multi-select clears the selection to prevent selecting an additional item by mistake.
• Loading indicator is shown when opening a directory.
• Fixed sharing via Bluetooth.
• Fixed the location bar scrolling to an outdated button.
