No info about donations

[realzeus]

I will be very glad to donate money to the project, probably on a regular basis with a hope of success and increased development speed.

Please describe how to do it.

[elfmz]

I don't think donations may affect development speed much.
Best way to improve development speed - is to develope ;)

I don't know about elfmz, but for example I have well paid day job, which means, that money won't motivate me at all. For me it's simply just fun to do something for the project I like. And if I don't have time, I wont do anything anyway.

[realzeus]

You are doing great job and I'm thankful for it. And it's not about money.

But with some money you (or probably we) could make advertisement for the project on for example StackOverflow.com / ServerFault.com / AskUbuntu.com and invite more contributors.

Does it make sense for you?

[invy]

The best advertisement is to get it included in the repositories.

And then, write some news on Linux resources, so people could try it out.

Plz, post your requisites for donation. I would like to support the project developement, but don't know how. I am very surprised when i found your project on GitHub and the only one that i can say "It's what i need for a long time". I am an older Windows user and using Far Manager along last 10-15 years. I know every hot key and this makes my work faster. In Linux exists many beautiful file managers like mc and others, but Far is the best ;)

One question, do you plan to port some other plugins, like arclite for exaple? It would be nice to make achives on Linux within Far2l. Thx in advance.

[elfmz]

arclite is essentially frontend for 7z.dll and at porting begin I was not sure that 7z.so is fully equivalent for 7z.dll also was completely unsure that 7z.so can provide all native UNIX functionality when extracting files (like restoring file mode etc) since 7z was initially created for Windows..
What problems however do you have with archives? There is old good multiarc, it works not so bad, just don't forget to install archivers that it supports.

As i am understand from comments on GitHub (sorry if i'm wrong) your native language is russian, if you don't mind, i'm continue in russian. На самом деле работа с архивами средсвами arclite - это дань привычке, т.е. с какой-то версии Far'а он появился и просто привык. Т.е. создание архива через F11. Опять же открытие архивов по дефолту в arclite через Ctrl-PgDn, он умеет открывать достаточно специфические штуки, т.е. например бинарный файл с образом fat32 или ext4 и т.п. Вообщем на самом деле особенной необходимости нет, тем более что идеология *nix систем подразумевает просто монтирование образа в таких случаях, но привычки-то с Win32 остались ;)

Wow, thanks so much for this work, I now feel myself home on Linux as well! That was the main problem for me when I had to switch to Ubuntu from Windows. I feel much better now, thank you!

If you guys set up Open Collective in the next month or so, I will donate my $100

[elfmz]

plz dont do any donations :)
first i'd like to be anonymous
second far2l based on far manager sources, i cannot accept money for work that wasn't done by me more than 90%)

I actually found this thread by googling "far2l elfmz donations".

So, you don't need any donations, but:
— Let us know if this state changes.
— Please know that your work and contribution is very much appreciated — THANK YOU!

З.Ы.: У меня под Маком была виртуальная машина c Виндами только из-за Far'a, которую я теперь снёс. Два месяца пользуюсь far2l — всё просто отлично!
Не хватает только FTP плагина из Far 3.

Не хватает только FTP плагина из Far 3.

А чего именно в текущем NetRocks не хватает?

[yegork78]

1. Спасибо!

2. Позор мне: я NetRocks даже не открывал; сразу полез именно в FTP. Не хватает мне в нём SFTP с ключиком в файле.

3. Пользоваться NetRocks не умею, а Help когда я нажимаю на "SFTP:// protocol specific options" (или любую другую опцию) мне говорит "Cannot open the file ".
   Где можно выбрать SFTP не вижу: в протоколах только dav, davs и file.
   Где можно указать имя файла с приватным ключём не вижу...

Где можно выбрать SFTP не вижу: в протоколах только dav, davs и file.

Это значит при билде не был установлен libssh-dev
