OpenTracker will stay independent from Tracker.NewFS, even if it's planned to take over some functionality from it. Most interesting are the move function across device boundaries which is somewhat missing in the original Tracker for no reason, and the remaining time estimation in the copy status window.
The SVG icons will never integrated in Tracker this way, though: Tracker is *the* system application, it should represent the system's capabilities. Tracker will support SVG icons when the API supports them natively. This will definitely happen one day, but probably neither in Zeta R1, nor in Haiku R1.

When I have used NewFS, I have found it to be somewhat bloated, and fairly crash-prone; not a good thing for such a vital part of the OS.
OpenTracker is a lot more selective on the addition of new features - a good thing in my opinion. Although I agree it could use some new features (nicer icons and thumbnails), I just don't want much of the extra stuff in NewFS (I especially dislike the 2 billion options given on copying multiple files).

Now that NewFS is such a vast improvment on the original (and OT itself), shouldn't it be the default Tracker in Haiku?

If you would enlighten me what the hell it is, I might. Although, actually, I have quite a lot of ideas for Tracker - it's just that they need much work to be realized, and thus, might need some time.

found a possible bug:
repartitioned a non-boot drive using drivesetup. didn't have drivesetup mount them. later i went to manually mount them from the desktop and the right click mount menu displayed the name of the pre-existing partition rather than the new partitions.
selecting mount all mounted all partitions and updated the mount listing.

The OpenTracker site got recently accidently deleted, and I obviously have managed to upload a wrong Deskbar binary. I am very sorry, just download the archive again, it's the correct version now, again.

This symbol is new for Dano, and does not appear in R5. Clearly whoever built these binaries did so on a Dano-system, and therefore the binaries won't run on an R5 system. Rebuilding them on R5 (or on Dano with R5 headers) should do the trick, and will allow the binaries to run on both R5 and Dano.

this missing symbol must be in main BeOS library - libbe.so.
If Deskbar misses it, it means you have incompatible BeOS version.

I'm using BeOS max v3 and updated OT and Deskbar to v5.2.1. The first time I did it, both froze so I changed the kernel settings to uncomment disable bios_calls and commented enable bios_calls.
Now open tracker works... unfortunately deskbar still does not. When I try to start it manually, I get this error message:
Could not open "Deskbar" (Missing symbol:
ReadyToLoop__7BLooperPQ27BLooper10loop_state).
If anyone has any thoughts on the situation, feel free to email me. At this point I'm open to any suggestion.

I knew about similar issues, e.g. when i start in safe mode and forget to choose my normal resolution, but wuth current version it seems doing it on "kill" itself, without any help of another program.
All times when it did so, my screen was 1024*800, so i don't see anything which might siwtch resolution. It seems squeezing icons according some poseviews being on that desktop. I'm really confused.

AFAICT it has been like this since I know BeOS. Tracker obviously saves the icon position when they have to change due to a resolution change - and when you quit it.
So it seems to mess up the icon positions at that point.
Feel free to fix it, I seem to be able to live with it (although it really can be annoying :-)).
But please use the bug tracker for these things rather than this forum, thanks anyway!

Nice work everyone. Other than the Disk icon issue (which has been fixed), OT and OD seem very nice. I'm kind of indifferent towards the new expandable team view deskbar additions since that deskbar mode takes too much screen real estate, but everything else looks good. What would really be great is minimisable Deskbar support.
Great work everyone involved. BeOS (and OpenBeOS) have a 1st class file navigator app (Deskbar).

the file provided in the package did not worked for me, i replaced it with my old one. Tracker and Deskbar files did not pose problem .
What it was doing (from what i saw) my disk icon was replaced by a little desk with 2 drawer and when i was opening it it was at path "/" but with other directory with my volumes.

I appreciate the details. I figured it was something like this. It's maddening that this OS suffers a problem that Windows has always had: fragility when the I/O processes were faced with "Exception scenarios." Windows is terribly fragile in the area of I/O.
I cite a favorite example: read data from cd rom. Close that data. Remove the CD, blue screen!
Agonizing that such similar problems are in BeOS. This is the only case in which I suffer crash problems with BeOS: file system problems. Not just file system, but disk problems. The last time I suffered a system failure so annoyingly was a file that was undeleteable. I don't know if you remember when I came onto BeShare to chat about this, but I had a file that I could NOT delete without killing the whole system. I couldn't do it from other BeOS Boots either. In the end, someone showed me "force rm" (?) and that killed the file. I never found out what the problem was. There was no media problem.
Luckilly, this kind of thing doesn't happen often. When it does, though, it kills the OS's credibility.

First of all, I am not sure if I am right with the following, but that's how I think it is.
DriveSetup does a completely different thing when checking the disk's surface - for example, it doesn't go through the file systems on it.
The storage classes of the Be API seem to have some lockup problems with bad disks; I've only had similar things with a cifs connection - there, I couldn't reproduce the effect from a terminal, but with Tracker, every time - no storage class check improved the situation (I couldn't work around it), so I just left it the way it is, hoping that OpenBeOS will do better.
If you can't kill Tracker, the problem is in a kernel function itself, since only the kernel allows to specify non-interruptable semaphores, which are the only cause for that problem. Identifying the semaphore in question and release them should do the trick, although that's truely not the preferred way of doing it.
Again, I am hoping for OpenBeOS to do better; there is nothing we can do for BeOS right now.

I've been suffering Tracker freezes (actually 100% processor usage with appearance of freeze/crash) and the inability to KILL it by any means (I've tried all). I thought I was dealing with a disk space problem on the LS-120 floppy I was writing to but it appears that I have found a surface error on the disk (discovered by DriveSetup, which does not freak out when finding the problem).
The question is, why does trying to copy data via Tracker to a bad part of the disk kill my system? Is the fault in Tracker or in the BFS file system addon? (I'm using the BeOS R5 Pro version, not the OBOS version) I am unable to do a graceful restart or shutdown and cannot kill Tracker. I have to reset the machine.
Any info appreciated.

Well, it's understandable that someone would think OpenTracker stalled as this page hasn't been updated since January 12th, 2002.
Goto the OpenTracker homepage to get newer versions and report the bugs you find on those instead.
The newest ones are quite nice...

Hello.
From aaaaages, on old UNIX and new, posix compliant systems, dotfiles are hidden unless you choose to... but on OpenTracker there is no way to hide these. I want to hide my .* files on my OpenTracker windows, I know how to change the sources (is in listview.h file I guess), but the file I can download from SourceForge don't compile on my machines.
Can anybody change OpenTracker to hide the dot-files, or better still make it a selectable choice on the settings panel?
Thanks in advance.
