Installation
No special installation is needed. It is advisable though, to unpack
the archive to the Home folder so as the update mechanism of B-Folders
can work correctly.
Note on Ubuntu 13.10
The Ubuntu 13.10 update has a bug that affects the B-Folders main
menu:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/eclipse/+bug/1208019
Until a fix is provided by Ubuntu developers, you can use a workaround that makes B-Folders not to use the global Unity menu. For that purpose, you will need to create a custom launcher on the Desktop - a file with .desktop extension (e.g. b-folders-workaround.desktop) with the following contents:
[Desktop Entry]
Name=B-Folders
Exec=env UBUNTU_MENUPROXY=0 /home/john/B-Folders\ 4/b-folders
Terminal=false
Type=Application
You should replace john with your username and set the executable permission of the .desktop file.
Note on Kubuntu and KDE
If B-Folders crashes, navigate to System Settings ->
Application appearance -> GTK and select a theme that is
not oxygen-gtk for GTK2 and restart the computer.
Updates
The B-Folders application has a built-in mechanism that will
automatically check
for updates and ask you to install them when available.
