[root@Sailfish nemo]# filecase  
error: XDG_RUNTIME_DIR not set in the environment.    
[C] unknown:0 - Failed to create display (No such file or directory)

After update to 2.2.0.29 FileCase shows a white screen if started.

Reinstalling with "# pkcon install --allow-reinstall filecase" won't help. Is anybody with same issue?

[root@Sailfish nemo]# sudo filecase

Hi. Fix with:

  1. Open terminal

  2. write devel-su vi /usr/share/filecase/qml/pages/TransfersDelegate.qml +145

  3. Now search this line: _hasValueLabel: false

  4. Write so: //_hasValueLabel: false

Save and open the FilseCase

I had the same problem and this promp opend just an empty screen in vi. I did use the line with nano (via ssh from my Linux desktop) and without +145. In nano you can use the shortcut x_ (x=ctrl or strg) than you can type in the line 145 and comment it out like Rafaelvlmendes wrote

When Nano is used in place of Vi, the command then looks like this;

devel-su nano +145 /usr/share/filecase/qml/pages/TransfersDelegate.qml

Then there is the problem of dropbox not working in Filecase.

FileCase seems abandoned, is the source code available?

@pmelas - I'd agree, Cepi Perez hasn't been seen for sometime now. It is my understanding that his last phone got stolen and access to the internet is not always possible for him. As far as I'm aware, there is no source code available and is certainly not on his Github page; https://github.com/CepiPerez
