file manager

Difference between version 26 and 27 - Previous - Next

A '''file manager''' or '''file browser''' is a tool designed to provide the
user the means of navigating through folders/directories, providing various
functionality from''open this file with this tool'' to ''process this set of
files via this application''.



** File Managers **

The following are some file managers/browsers which have either been written in
Tcl or make use of Tcl in some way.


   [EU-Commander]:   

   [FileManager]:   

   [FileMan] †:   

   [FileRunner] †:   Tcl/Tk 8.0 and ANSI [C] based file manager, either local or via ftp.  [GPS]: When I first started using Linux (Redhat 5.2) FileRunner was great. It has a lot of features, and of course is written in Tcl/Tk.  It's fairly easy to modify too. I haven't used it in years, because I now use terminals for almost everything in Unix, but I still recommend it.  [D. McC] I agree. I've used FileRunner since 1999. It's the fastest and most comprehensible file manager I've seen on any operating system.

   [tkfileman] †:   

   [tkDesk]:   

   [TkMC]:   

   [TOXFile]:   

   [WISH File Rusher]:   

   [x-files] †:   David S. Cargo 2002-09-25: I have used on a variety of systems is [X-Files] [http://www.hut.fi/u/mkivinie/X-Files/]. I have not seen any signs of recent development (like this century), but I used the version 1.43 on a variety of systems.


† These file managers no longer have a live project website.
‡ This is only a file browser without copy/move features.



** Non-Tcl File Managers **

The first of these is, of course an application
which is all too familar to a large segment of the community.
   [IPEnv]:   Not a file manager in itself, but it offers all you desire from a modern manager tool.

   [Windows] Explorer:   

   Total Commander:   

   Midnight Commander:   

   FAR Manager:   

   FreeCommander:

   [http://www.xnview.com/en/index.php%|%XnView]:   better known as an image viewer

   NDN (Dos Navigator):   

   Q-Dir:   



** Utilities **
