Free folders software for linux

Amarok has a built-in function for setting the icon for folders (the one that displays in Konqueror etc) to be the cover image for the album it contains. However, it only works if you let it recognize your music.

Amarok Folder Icons script will scan the current directory and sub directories for music, and set all the folder icons where it can determine that the folder contains tracks from just one album.

This works best if you store your albums in a flat structure e.g.

/path/to/your/music/artist name - album name/

Installation:

Copy the script to your main music directory, and make it executable:

At a terminal:

$ chmod +x make_amarok_folder_icons.py

Usage:

At a terminal:

$ cd /to/your/music/folder
$ ./make_amarok_folder_icons.py

As Plone does not offer this functionality yet, PloneFolderOrder is a solution that works in todays Plone sites. Once integrated into Plone, it will become obsolete for newer versions of Plone, but there are enough Plone sites that need this functionality today to justify this temporary solution.
The difference to other solutions that store order information inside content objects themselves, PloneFolderOder stores order information in Plone Folders (Therefore the name PloneFolderOrder). Storing content order in a Plone Folder is preferable, because when the ordering changes, you only have to change a single object, the Plone Folder itself. The only drawback is that content objects have to query their container to know their place in the order.
The order screen of Plone Folders contains the list of the folders content, and the user can order the content.
The standard Plone views, and most importantly the navigation tree, are respecting the order set by users.
It is a full-fledged Plone product, installable and uninstallable using the QuickInstaller Tool.
Enhancements:
- Bug Correction : restarting zope will not delete the method getParentFromFolder

PowerFolder project consists of a program to synchronize folders over the internet or on a local net. It uses peer-to-peer technology to exchange the files. This means you do not need a hosting server. Every client holds a local copy of the folder.
It can be used to exchange every type of data for example music, photos, own documents or videos. PowerFolder automatically detects changes and synchronizes (configurable) !

mod_auth_user_dir is a module for Apache 2, you can create private user folders using WebDAV protocol. Users have only permissions to access to their own directory. Without this module, a htaccess file must be created inside every user folder. This is completely unmanageable when the number of users is big.

We can build a file server accessible from Windows and Linux using WebDAV and a web server like Apache. Because the protocol is build upon HTTP, the server uses ports TCP 80 (HTTP) and TCP 443 (HTTPS). These ports are commonly open in firewalls without any other special requirement.

User authentication (login and password) are delegated to other Apache modules like mod_auth_ldap.

Installation:

download the binary or compile the source. It should work with all Apache 2.x versions.
install the module with /usr/local/apache2/bin/apxs -i -a -n auth_user_dir libmod_auth_user_dir.la
configure directory options in httpd.conf. Option AUTHUSERDIRROOT can be defined for every Directory, and it is the root folder where user folders will be created.
restart Apache: apachectl restart
