File manager for Webmin

Is there a way to set filemin to allow text editing for yml files?

Thanks, Jason

Hello RealGecko,

Filemin is really good news, many thanx.

In Virtualmin, for domain accounts, left panel under "webmin modules", there is an entry "File Manager".

After deactivation of "File Manager" module in Webmin for the domain account user, activation of "Filemin" -> clicking on this menu entry gives only

"Access denied : User ... is not allowed to use the File Manager module"

Sure, I can find it under Webmin -> Others -> Filemin. But ... ;)

Any possibility to assign Filemin to this Virtualmin entry?

If not, would it rather be an Virtualmin issue?

Many thanx, please keep up with the good work!

Best regards, Falko

Like most of you I also am having problems with Java File Manager. Now Firefox in Ubuntu does not work anymore. Safari delays around 5 minutes to load.

Nice work with your Filemin.
I've downloaded and installed it as root.
In Java FM I have the option to double-click a file and it opens in a new tab (image, text...)
There is also the Edit button to edit them in another Java Window.
I cannot achieve any of these in Filemin. I know it is being written and you are working hard to add functionalities.
Clicking once on an image or a text file I get this error message:

Error - Perl execution failed

I've installed Filemin under FreeBSD 10.1.

Admin users can use Filemin however it is not visible to users. When I installed the module I enabled it for all users.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Hello RealGecko. Think I found a bug, rather big for me (I don't recall being present in other versions... or maybe I didn't try this ):

-if i navigate to a NFS share, mounted to the server from my storage, I can't actually navigate. The root folders there, are instead offered to be downloaded, it's like those are files. Of course I want to navigate to their sub-folders. And they have the question mark icon not the folder one.

Can anyone else confirm this? Is filemin ready for network shares?

Thanks and GJ!

A couple of comments.

I would like to have an option to not to split large dirs like /etc in pages.
It is difficult to guess in which page certain file will be.

Another issue is that if I want to get all files sorted by date, only files in selected page are sorted.
So, I cannot get in first place, first page, the newest file in the whole directory.

Thank you

I found Filemin only yesterday. It's much closer to the file management UI I've been searching for. But I now want to add some tweaks to the UI. Can you point me to where (in which Filemin file) this DOM snippet is rendered?

<form id="list_form" class="ui_form" method="post" action="" role="form">
<div id="DataTables_Table_0_wrapper" class="dataTables_wrapper form-inline dt-bootstrap no-footer">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-sm-6">
<div id="DataTables_Table_0_length" class="dataTables_length">
<label>
Show
<select class="form-control input-sm" name="DataTables_Table_0_length" aria-controls="DataTables_Table_0">
<option value="10">10</option>
<option value="25">25</option>
<option value="50">50</option>
<option value="100">100</option>
</select>
entries
</label>
</div>
</div>
<div class="col-sm-6">
<div id="DataTables_Table_0_filter" class="dataTables_filter">
<label>
<input class="form-control input-sm" type="search" placeholder="" aria-controls="DataTables_Table_0">
</label>
</div>
</div>
...

=================================================

[Later edit]

Since posting my question I have now found this reference ...

http://datatables.net/manual/styling/bootstrap

but still I cannot spot where the dataTables_length values are defined ... 10, 25, 50, 10.

...

Incidentally in my version of Filemin the text "Search:" is missing after tag in div below ...

<div id="DataTables_Table_0_filter" class="dataTables_filter">
<label>
<!-- insert "Search:" here -->
<input class="form-control input-sm" type="search" placeholder="" aria-controls="DataTables_Table_0">
</label>
...

Finally, I found the answer to my earlier question on where dataTables_length is created..

In /usr/share/webmin/authentic-theme/unauthenticated/js/jquery.datatables.min.js

aLengthMenu:[10,25,50,100]

This site is also helpful in understanding DataTables ...

RG: Editing a file I would like to have the option to Save & Close (it is "Save" now) and another button to only Save it without closing it.

Thank you

Is there a "hide viewing of hidden files" feature I've missed in the UI?

Incidentally on my installation of filemin the "Search: " label to the left of the search field is missing.

Nice piece of software. Thanks a lot. The only feature I'm missing is search. I was using it a lot in old File Manager.

Please remove separation of the directory list in pages. It is really annoying. Especially when there is only couple files goes to the second page. Very ill idea. Of course it can be slow with very long list but it is know problem almost for any file system, not a file manager. Any developer with common sense avoids too longish directories.

Thanks! Looks good but i've only spent a few minutes with it, like the syntax colouring and the search looks very handy, brilliant - well done and thanks once again!

I had a bit of a fiddle getting the right URL for the DEB package, it turns out to be:

https://github.com/Real-Gecko/filemin/blob/master/distrib/webmin-filemin_0.9.4_all.deb?raw=true
