It contains virtually all of the features that you would expect in a -file manager -- move around your directory tree in multiple windows, and move, -copy or delete files with simple mouse operations. Directory displays are -updated automatically in regular intervals when the contents of a diaplayed -directory changes. The integrated application manager allows you to load files -into your favourite applications from the file manager by dragging icons. It -can also be used as a "shelf" onto which you can place files and directories -you are currently working with. A special LOAD action for application files -enables you to manage different application groups. - -User-definable file types allow you to specify a command to be executed when -double-clicking on a file or dropping other files onto it. The command can -also prompt you for required parameters. Xfm makes it easy to configure -special kinds of actions such as, e.g., replacing the contents of a compressed -tar archive with a collection of selected files. A lot of corresponding -examples can be found in the distribution, including a fully functional -trashcan feature. Last not least, xfm can automatically mount and unmount -special devices like floppies as you open and close the corresponding -directories (mount points). So you won't have to fiddle around with mount or -mtools commands any more if all you want to do is copy some files between the -hard disk and your floppy drive. - -The original version of this program was written by Simon Marlow at the -University of Glasgow. I included Simon's README for reference purposes; see -README-1.2. [Most of the information in this file is outdated; please refer to -this README file and the man page for up-to-date installation and usage -instructions.] The current release stems from my efforts to resolve some nasty -bugs in the 1.2 beta version distributed with Linux slackware, and to add XPM -support for displaying color icons in the file and application windows. As it -came out, I also added a plethora of other features to make xfm the tool I was -looking for; see the ChangeLog for details. Realizing that my private xfm -version might be useful for others as well, I contacted Simon and he told me -to put together a new release and make it available on the net. So here it is! -I hope you will find it as useful as I do -- I am now using xfm regularly, and -can't imagine how I ever did without it. I think that this program compares -well to other free -- and even commercial -- file managers. It is fast, -convenient to use, and offers a lot of built-in functionality and -configuration options. If you are not addicted to the shell and like to -shuffle around files with one hand in order to perform tasks such as moving, -copying, deleting, compiling, formatting, archiving, compressing, etc. etc., -then xfm is certainly for you. - |
