the attempted goal:
desktop drag should be completely disabled while MOUSE3 (right-click) is depressed
and, elsewise when clicking on a desktop icon, if the cursor has moved less than 20px the intent should not be interpreted as a drag attempt
Thank you skidoo…
I was able to install zzzFM and set as preferred FM application, replacing SpaceFM.
First of all I want to mention that it appears to retain all functionality of SpaceFM that I care about, including the address field, which is important for addressing network shares, should someone want to use it instead of Connectshares…
The fact that devices are not showing on the left makes it also consistent view with Root Window, while in SpaceFM Root Window view is not consistent with the default user window, as it looks like zzzFM view.
As far as testing the ‘drag bug’, which was my primary objective, I admit I am failing so far to set my desktop to be managed by zzzFM, so I can switch to ‘zzz-IceWM’.
Specifically:
– Since that dreaded ‘drag-bug’ annoyed me to the utmost, as it was happening on all my laptops consistently, I dropped the ‘Space-IceWM’ in favor of IceWM and adjusted drag related settings in IceWM to max. No annoying drag issues anymore…
– As soon as I switch to Space-IceWM those drag issues happen consistently on all my laptops – all Thinkpads.
– After installation of zzz and making it the default FM (zzz-Folder-Handler-Desktop), nothing changes on my IceWM desktop, no drag issues as before. However as soon as I switch desktop to Space-IceWM the drag issue is there. My conjecture is that it is because with Space-IceWM it is SpaceFM that plays role. How can I replace Space-IceWM with zzz-IceWM?
Also just to add and clarify my experience:
– The drag hand appearing with even slightest mouse movement on right click on Space is one thing. The second and more important to me was that IceWM menu was not popping up at the end. Just drag hand and no expected action.
– The above behavior was happening to me on Space-IceWM but not on Space-Fluxbox. The antiX menu was popping up for me on Space-Fluxbox.
To end my ramblings, I would ask for some direction how to re-create an equivalent testing environment for ‘zzz-IceWM’, replacing ‘Space-IceWM’.
Looking forward to zzz as a complete replacement…
Thanks skidoo for this great product.
