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 inTcl, or make use of Tcl in some way, or, in the last example, is an application
which is all too familar to a large segment of the community.
[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.

‡ This is only a file browser without copy/move features.
