Is there EZFM under QNX6 ?
Thank you.
Hi Leonid
I don’t think so. Although I wish there was an EZFM for Neutrino. I think
it’s the best little third party program ever written. I think that SJT is
too busy working on Photon issues although I haven’t seen a post from him
for a while.
Steve, port EZFM to Photon so some of us can throw money at you. Or else,
make the source public domain. As an alternative, sell me the source and
rights and I’ll port it and sell it for Neutrino.

Hey at least they ported qed 
for us old timers; I still catch myself
doing F7/F8 copy/pastes in what ever editor I happen to be using that day.
EZFM is far and away the best, easiest to use, most powerful little file
manager I’ve ever used; even it isn’t a GUI application, and doesn’t have
mouse support. Sadly, I don’t do much QNX these days, but I still run my
DOS version of EZFM in xdos sessions under Linux from time to time. mc
comes close, but not close enough.
Dumb vi/vim question. In qed one could mark/highlight an area of text
(F7/F7) and then do a sed (should I say led) like search and replace via the
following command
#s/pattern/replace/g
similar to the vi command:
%s/pattern/replace/g
except it would only change the marked/highlighted text. Anyone know how to
do such a thing in vi/vim?
Hi Todd
It’s been a long time since I’ve used QED (2.15F days). But Vedit doea the
same thing. And, Yes it is very useful. I don’t know enough about vi/vim
to answer your question. Someone else will have to give it a shot.

Not quite the same – but the thing to remember in the vi command:
:%s/patter/replace/g is that the ‘%’ is a line-addressing piece, and that
% is a short form for ‘1,$’ – that is for the whole file. You can use
line numbers, searchs, or probably closest to what you want, you can
mark locations and use them to bound your search.
So, you put your cursor on the first line of the block, and hit ‘ma’ then
you put your cursor on the last line of the block, and hit ‘mb’ then you
can do:
:'a,'bs/pattern/replace/g
or skip the second ‘mb’ and:
:'a,.s/pattern/replace/g
will do the search and replace from the mark to the current line.
You could also do the search and replace from the first occurence of
some other pattern:
:/pattern1/,$s/pattern2/replace/g
will find the first occurence (starting at the current line and searching
forwards in the file) of pattern1, and from there to the end of the file
will replace every occurence of pattern2 with replace.

Thank you! Now if QNX would put the QED source in the CVS archive
I’ve been using marks forever (yank/paste), just never put two and two
together to use them in a search.

So I probably qualify as the person who’s used QED longer
than anyone else other than Dan or Gordon. Oh if only the
DOS version worked a little better.

Me, from QNX V 2.15F (circa 1987). Although it’s not my editor of choice.
Does the QNX 6 version version work in text mode? I do need a decent editor
to use in text mode.

I might be missing something, but isn’t the file manager that comes with
Photon better than EZFM ? I used EZFM extensively in the past, and yes
it was nice (I miss the moving command window) but overall the Photon
file manager is superior to EZFM now; once it gets Drag’n’Drop it’ll be
far beyond EZFM IMO.
Only suggestion I would make (other than DnD), is to add the moving
command window to the Photon file manager (I like a lot of the winblows
compatibility of the file manager, but the moving command window is a
unique UI concept that sits well with unix familiar people). The MCW
could be just another column that one could configure for display, so
those that prefer to right click, select “Open With”, and then type a
command (instead of simply typing the command in the command window) are
free to do so (of course this implies that one should be able to
configure file display columns
Of course, I still think focus should be on stabilizing the GUI and O/S
first, and adding sugar (like this) second.
Just my $0.02.

First off, sometimes I LIKE working in text mode.
Even so, there are many usful features that I miss. Especially, the side by
side display for moving files between them.
Pfm is still quite lame. Don’t even pretent to suggest that they are
compatable.

How is side by side display for moving files superior to drag-selecting
a group of files, then dragging and dropping them between 2 instances of
a file manager ? It is basically comparable, except that in graphics
mode, one can easily manage much larger directories than in text mode,
and can select large subsets of files (and remove exceptions) much
quicker.
Granted, pfm doesn’t have drag’n’drop yet, but I would rather see DnD
added to pfm than to resurrect a relic from the past.
btw: As far as the current incarnation of pfm being lame, I don’t seem
to recall that in EZFM I could drag select a group of files with the
mouse, ctrl-deselect 3 files randomly out the the selected group; right
click and copy these to the clipboard, change to a different directory
and paste, do you ? Just because pfm doesn’t have a particlar feature
you liked (and derives much of it’s functionality from it’s GUI
environment) doesn’t mean it is lame.

I don’t want to obtrude my opinion. I just would like to share it.
Maybe somebody will like it. I prefer to work in text mode. Even
developing a Photon application I use terminal window. For years I’ve
been using vedit and MQC in QNX4. Now in QNX6 I still use MQC, but in
combination with vim.
In my opinion all what required from a file manager and a text editor
are good information representation and handy hot keys. I really don’t
need any DnD while editing and compiling my project. It is much faster
just to press a couple of keys then do kilometers with the mouse
across screen.
