Thanks for the answer.
Okay, this is feature)
But this is not history then, this is some kind of bookmarks i think.
Now i can add entry and delete ONE entry by "dirline.clear.history".
But i can't clear all history -
alt+shift+delete making nothing, no command for that combination in settings. More than that, alt+shift is well known hotkey for switching keyboard layout.
alt+delete is binded to "command.clear_history".
This command doesn't clear dir history and even command history,
when command line is focused, just clear entire line.
History by hover over back button is very annoying)
Because first entry is completely covered by button tooltip.

I have Nokia n810 with emelfm2 0.5.0 installed.
Dir history is real history there ) and "command.clear_history" is
working properly for both dirline and commandline.

And one more question - is it possible to make one toolbar for active pane?
Two toolbars is a waste of space on low resolution screens.
On the Nokia N900 emelfm2 is unusable because of two toolbars.

Hello.
First, sorry about bad english, i am not native speaker.
Thanks for the emelfm, i like to use it.
But there is some bug maybe - no dir history on the toolbars.
Current directory is shown properly, i can enter path and switch to that
by enter,
but no history and arrow on the right is grayed.
I am using Debian Wheezy.

Serge,

For a while now, the directories comboboxes in the toolbars have been programmed to work a bit like tabs seen in some other file managers, or pane-specific bookmarks. Directories are added to those boxes' histories only when you, the user, manually initiates it.

The way to do so is to 'activate' the combobox, that is, double-click it, or when it's focused, press <Enter>. Removal of a directory from the history is the same as for all e2 combos, that is, press <Alt><Delete> when the relevant directory is shown in the entry. <Shift><Alt><Delete> will clear the whole history.

This is hardly ideal or intuitive as a user-interface, but it's the best compromise with the 'legacy' history mode that we've found, so far.

As well, the histories of opened directories are also available as menus, displayed when you hover a pointer over the forward or backward buttons in both filelist panes.

Regards
Tom
