Today, new alpha releases of PCManFM and libfm were made.
Again, let me show you the screenshot first.
Here are highlights of this release:
Auto-mount for removable devices and and “Auto-run” dialog. (Finally we have this!)
Support ‘menu://applications/’ to show installed applications in pcmanfm. (needs lxmenu-data) (reported to be a little bit buggy?)
Support ‘menu://applications/DesktopSettings/’ to show configuration tools. [...]
Recently libfm, the core of next generation file manager, underwent heavy development and rapid changes. Here are some exciting highlights.
The repository was completely moved from svn to git now.
You can grab the latest source code with following command line:
git clone git://libfm.git.sourceforge.net/gitroot/libfm
Drag and drop now works! You can even drag and drop between two different remote [...]
Everybody loves screenshots!
Look! It’s sftp://.
By utilizing glib/gio and gvfs, now libfm can access remote filesystems supported by gvfs. Currently there is no auto-mounting. So when testing libfm, you need to mount the filesystems with gvfs-mount manually. However this should work once libfm is finished.
The current source code in svn repositoy can already work as a [...]

This is the little demo program included in libfm demonstrating the functionality of libfm – the core of next generation PCManFM.
Due to some limitations and various hard-to-fix problems in the original PCManFM, a new project is started to work on a fresh rewrite of PCManFM. Now I’ve created a project named libfm. It’s [...]
PCMan has added a new branch named lxpanel-xkb in the LXDE Repository.
svn co https://lxde.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/lxde/branches/lxpanel-xkb
It’s a new applet for lxpanel which will be a keyboard layout switcher. The original one in lxpanel is broken, and will be removed. The new one will be based on libxlavier, a good library handling xkb. However, we’re from Taiwan, and [...]
