Hi there,

i installed oneswarm some days ago and noticed 2 little downers..
First, some people don't have a 'default browser'.. meaning you can't start oneswarm by clicking on the task icon (and imagine, some people don't even have task icons..). You have to right-click->show classic ui, or open the web ui by opening it manually..
Second, though it is the same problem.. some people don't have a default filemanager either.. so no opening files through oneswarm directly.
Therefore it would be very nice if we were able to define the commands used by oneswarm, at least through changing the configs (sorry if that's already possible, please give me a hint!).
In addition, it would be nice to define the default Oneswarm ui (web oder classic), because in my opinion classic is performing way better..

And that's it... thanks for reading :)

Firstly, I can not get the classic UI to load here. But that is another thread of mine. About other things in your post I do have some comment.

1. Seeing as I can not use the Classic UI then I do use Firefox. Though I have had a number of crashes/ spontaneous desktop log outs for RAM issues.

2. The file browser issue I can confirm and it is a major issue here. I need a way to tell OneSwarm where to find my file browser. Any browser of any type really but for me it is the file browser issue.

3. For less RAM memory over head alone you probably do have a point at least for my machine in regards to the Classic UI,

Note I am running KDE4.6* or something in that range. This is a Mandriva box so that might answer any number of questions like RAM overhead issues.

Well, even with a default web browser and a default file browser, OneSwarm doesn't open them here. I'm running Xfce, so I guess OneSwarm should call "exo-open" but tries something else instead. The classic UI, however, works fine and can open files and directories!

Maybe 1S uses xdg-open...

I think too that the classic UI is superior to the web UI in many ways.

i'd say, judging by the number of different window- and desktop-managers that propably all use different approaches to 'default programs' it is nearly impossible to invoke it automatically..
In addition: Im running awesome on arch-linux and personally i'd like to run 1S in uzbl, so even if there would be a default browser, i'd like to specify it.

I do not write code but do any of you? These are all great points now all we need is a good coder with similar opinions to contribute code. That is no small task from my view of things.

I run KDE 4.6, and it behaves as intended (launches chromium-browser) after setting it as the desired x-www-browser in update-alternatives. This creates a symlink chain from /usr/bin/x-www-browser -> /etc/alternatives/x-www-browser -> /usr/bin/chromium-browser

If update-alternatives doesn't exist on your system, I would try setting a symlink from /usr/bin/x-www-browser to your browser of choice. I believe the /etc/alternatives/ convention is specific to ubuntu based distros.

EDIT: Not sure if there's a similar link one could add to get a file manager working. I've not tried to use that feature enough to care, but it might say something in the logs after trying to launch your file manager from within oneswarm.

Thanks for the idea, but it doesn't work. I still get this error:
"Failed to open /opt/OneSwarm/http:/127.0.0.1:26915"
(1S is installed in /opt here.)

In response to CouchPatato, I can code, but not in Java. I've already struggled once inside 1S' source code to find some information; it was not a pleasure :).

Well I run OneS faithfully as much as I can. Say with out random log outs or crashes, but as I can not find the files I have received no tangible benefit besides being encrypted while downloading from with in the Swarm. I need to do the symlink thanx I should have hunted that one up my self. I hope it lets me find my files.

Well, the files are saved where you decided to save them... Or alternatively in the default save directory, which is configurable in the settings.

Yeah that is the oddest part and should have talked about it before. I save in a /media/%home%data2/ drive location. I use it all the time and have used it on a number of torrent managers. I have that option set in OneS. Yet I can not find them in that location.

Edit: I have to admit my watch directory was not the same as my save directory.

OK I just moved from Mandriva to Magiea and I can now load the Classic UI. I can not YET down load plugins. It gives me an error for another topic. For any that might not know Magiea is forked over Mandriva, and a better working MDV at that.
