This looks good so far, however for the other READMEs we have opted to use the markdown format, so to remain consistent with the other coreapps could this be updated? Also the web links should be in the format [title](url), you can use the weather mp [0] for reference. Sorry this should have been mentioned in the code-in task, but it hadn't been updated.

LGTM :-)

I'll let the file manager developers check over this to ensure that the build/autopilot etc instructions are up to date before it is top approved.

Thanks!

Hi,

thanks for this but there was recently another update merged to READMEs and I'm not sure if this merge proposal is valid anymore.

Could you check the current state of the trunk and see if there's any improvements that should be done regarding your changes here? I think this merge proposal is obsolete at the moment as there was quite a bit of restructuring.

From what I can gather, I would agree with you. Wasn't like that when I originally cloned the repository and was still up on Google Code-In - sorry bout that!

Not your fault at all. These changes landed just before yours. Thank you and if you see anything in the current documentations that you could improve, please do submit another merge request!

I've rejected this now as it's not valid against current documents.

5+Running Autopilot tests
6+=======================
7+
8+Ubuntu Clock App follows a test driven development where autopilot tests are
9+run before every merge into trunk. If you are submitting your bugfix/patch to
10+the clock app, please follow the following steps below to ensure that all tests
11+pass before proposing a merge request.
12+
13+If you are looking for more info about Autopilot or writing AP tests for the
14+clock app, here are some useful links to help you:
15+
16+* [Quality - Ubuntu Developers](http://developer.ubuntu.com/start/quality)
17+* [Python Autopilot for 1.5.0](https://developer.ubuntu.com/api/autopilot/python/1.5.0/)
18+
19+For help and options on running tests, [see here](https://developer.ubuntu.com/en/start/platform/guides/running-autopilot-tests/)
20+
21+Prerequisites
22+=============
23+
24+Install the following autopilot packages required to run the tests,
25+ $ sudo apt-get install python3-autopilot libautopilot-qt ubuntu-ui-toolkit-autopilot python3-autopilot-vis
26+
27+Running tests on the desktop
28+============================
29+
30+Using terminal:
31+
32+* Branch the filemanager app code,
33+ $ bzr branch lp:ubuntu-filemanager-app
34+
35+* Build the filemanager app as outlined in README.developers
36+
37+* Navigate to the tests/autopilot directory.
38+ $ cd tests/autopilot
39+
40+* run all tests.
41+ $ autopilot3 run -vv filemanager
42+
43+ to list all tests:
44+ $ autopilot3 list filemanager
45+
46+
47+Running tests on the desktop in phone or tablet mode
48+====================================================
49+
50+You can run filemanager in phone or tablet mode passing one of these two switches:
51+
52+-p for phone mode
53+-t for tablet mode
54+
55+so:
56+
57+ $ autopilot3 launch ../../src/app/filemanager -p
58+
59+will launch filemanager with autopilot in phone mode.

67+ReadMe Developers - Ubuntu Filemanager
68+======================================
69+
70+Building and running on Desktop
71+===============================
72+
73+Obtain the source:
74+
75+ $ bzr branch lp:ubuntu-filemanager-app
76+
77+Install the following build dependencies:
78+
79+ $ sudo apt-get install libtag1-dev libpam0g-dev python3
80+
81+Then open the CMakeLists.txt file in Qt Creator, and ensure that the kit
82+selected on the left sidebar (just above the green "Run" button) is "Desktop"
83+
84+# Starting the App
85+
86+No additional steps are required before running the app on the desktop.
87+
88+You can pass two switches to run in phone or tablet mode from the desktop:
89+
90+-p for phone mode
91+-t for tablet mode
92+
93+Due to Qt Creator's bug #1312094 in launchpad.net, there needs to be a manual
94+workaround done before the app can run on the device:
95+
96+1. Modify the desktop.in file: change the Exec line to read:
97+ Exec=lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/bin/@EXEC@
98+
99+Remember to revert this temporary change if you are building a click package or
100+if you're making other changes to be committed to the code!
101+
102+Building and running on a Device
103+================================
104+
105+If you don't have one already, you'll need to create an armhf chroot to
106+cross-compile the app (also do this if you have an older armhf chroot, for
107+example 14.04 and current target is 14.10. You can first delete the old target
108+and then create a current one). Here's how:
109+
110+1. In Qt Creator, open the CMakeLists.txt file
111+2. Go to Tools > Options > Ubuntu > Click
112+2. Click on Create Click Target
113+3. Follow the prompts to generate the chroot. You will be asked for your sudo
114+ password
115+4. Once created, you'll need to add the build dependencies for the app:
116+ - Click on the Maintain button on your chroot
117+ - On the terminal prompt that is started, type
118+ apt-get install libtag1-dev:armhf libpam0g-dev:armhf python3
119+ - Close the terminal when the installation finishes
120+5. Now you can either do a clean checkout and wait to be prompted by Qt Creator
121+ to add the armhf kit, or alternatively:
122+6. Go to the Projects tab > Add kit and then select the UbuntuSDK armhf kit
123+
124+Additionally, you'll have to tell Qt Creator that you are doing a build for a
125+device to ultimately create a click package for installation:
126+
127+1. In Qt Creator, go to the Projects tab on the sidebar
128+2. Click on the "Build" subtab of the "UbuntuSDK for armhf..." tab
129+3. Then go to the "CMake arguments" text field and add "-DCLICK_MODE=on"
130+ without the quotes
131+
132+Before starting the build make sure to select the "UbuntuSDK" kit on Qt
133+Creator's left sidebar (just above the green "Run" button).
134+
135+Ensure you've selected the kit you want for your build and press the build
136+button on Qt Creator's left sidebar (or alternatively Ctrl+B).
137+
138+# Starting the App
139+
140+Ensure you've selected the kit you want for your build and press the run
141+button on Qt Creator's left sidebar (or alternatively Ctrl+R).
142+
143+If the app hasn't been built yet, or if there are pending changes that require
144+a build, the app will automatically be built first before running.
145+
146+If you're starting the app on a device, the build will be copied over and the
147+code will run unconfined.
148+
149+
150+Building a click package
151+========================
152+
153+There are two alternative ways of building a click package.
154+
155+### Using Qt Creator
156+
157+1. Ensure you've selected the UbuntuSDK for armhf kit on Qt Creator's sidebar
158+2. Click on Publish on the sidebar
159+3. Click on "Create package"
160+4. If all goes well, you'll find the final click package in the build directory
161+
162+Notes:
163+- You can see the output of the click build if you click on Edit on the sidebar
164+ and then "Application Output" at the bottom. This is useful to identify any
165+ failures during the build
166+- Run `sudo apt-get install click-reviewers-tools` to enable click package
167+ validation in Qt Creator. You might need to restart Qt Creator after you've
168+ installed them for it to detect them
169+
170+### Using click-buddy
171+
172+ 1. Install phablet-tools:
173+
174+ $ sudo apt-get install phablet-tools
175+
176+ 2. Run click-buddy in your source tree:
177+
178+ $ click-buddy --dir . --arch armhf --framework ubuntu-sdk-14.04
179+
180+ 3. Once finished, click-buddy will tell you the location of your source package
181+
182+### Installing a click package
183+
184+First of all, ensure you've got a working Ubuntu device attached over USB to
185+your host computer
186+
187+#### Manually
188+
189+Run the following commands to manually install the click package (replace 0.5
190+with the version of your package):
191+
192+ $ adb push com.ubuntu.filemanager_0.3.latest_armhf.click /home/phablet/
193+ $ adb shell
194+ $ sudo -H -u phablet pkcon install-local /home/phablet/com.ubuntu.filemanager_0.3_armhf.click
195+
196+#### Using click-buddy
197+
198+You can add the --provision argument to the previous command to install the
199+click package on the device.
200+
201+### Starting the app
202+
203+1. Either kill unity8 with `pkill unity8` or restart the system for the Apps
204+ (click) scope to pick up your newly installed click package
205+2. Search for Reminders in the Apps scope and tap on its icon to start it
206+3. You'll find the runtime logs at ~/.cache/upstart/application-click/
207+
208+### Uninstalling a click package
209+
210+Run the following commands, replacing the version of the click package you want
211+to uninstall:
212+
213+ $ adb shell
214+ $ sudo -iu phablet
215+ $ sudo click unregister com.ubuntu.filemanager 0.3
216+
217+Running Tests

396+ReadMe - Ubuntu Filemanager
397+===========================
398+
399+File Manager is a powerful but familiar tool for managing files. File Manager supports typical operations like cut/copy/paste and supports removable storage where available. File Manager makes effective use of space on small form factor devices, and expands to use more space on larger displays.
400+
401+File Manager is written in QML and C++ using the Ubuntu SDK and is licensed under the GPLv3.
