Feature Request: Inverted colour selector & default start-up directory #275
Description
Hello @coderaiser and many thanks for cloudcmd !
I have installed it on my OMV 4.x system natively (outside docker) using a Node.js 10.x installation just before Cloud Commander. Followed tips and guide on "Debian Server" threads on-line.
I would like to ask if these two features are to be requested or exist already as I have not found a reference on your main page:
-
Inverted colour selector
Just like Midnight Commander or Total Commander, it would be great for the line-selector to appear in inverted colour. I am so used to it that it facilitates greatly to immediately see where the selector is. -
Default start-up directory
I was hoping to get a parameter to define the start-up directories (for both panes) to be something else besides / on the browser. I was hoping to find some parameter that defines the launch or startup directory to show. Does this exist already?
For example, for a Debian service created on OMV to always start Could Commander as as systemd service, I defined the user/group that is allowed to run this feature and wanted to complement it by starting at the user's home directory /home/user/ or some other like /sharedfolders/ for example.
Thanks for listening! Keep up the great work. Best regards.

Hell @mackonsti ,
*key to invert selection.rootdirectory using env variableCLOUDCMD_ROOTor--rootoption:Is it helps?

Hi @coderaiser thank you very much for your fast reply.
So if I set
CLOUDCMD_ROOTor--rootwould this be just the start-up directory when I (re-)launch the service or would this be the top-level possible to access by the user on the browser? I mean, if I setCLOUDCMD_ROOT=/home/mackonsti/would this be just the start-up directories on both panels or the maximum allowed navigation in the file system possible? (i.e. cannot go further up in /home/ for example).Thank you for the asterisk option, no I mean colour-wise (CSS) like an inverted colour selector that would be more visible instead of the red outline of the selection.
This is the perfect example I found on-line to illustrate: http://i.imgur.com/I946dek.jpg
On the left, is your current CSS method, on the right is an alternative (option) selector method (with inverted colours).
Thank you!

Ok, I understood what are you talking about :).
Anyways that’s a good idea for a pull request :).

Thanks, @coderaiser for your confirmation.
Unfortunately I cannot be much of a help, as I am not a programmer.
Hopefully someone will like the idea of inverted colours in the selection line and apply the correct CSS or even make it an option in Settings.
Have a good week and thanks for your work on Cloud Commander.
