The main goal of +this project is to create powerful and user friendly file manager for Unix +operating systems. + +General features: + * Graphical application, uses GTK2 windowing toolkit + * Two directory panels side by side (vertical) + * Tabbed interface, buttons for quick access to favorite places + * Configurable mounter bar for quick access to removable media and + network shares + * Multilingual user interface + * Basic VFS (Virtual File System) support, allowing you to browse archives + and network places + * Extendable via plugin system, several VFS modules available + in the distribution + * Portable, no installation required, usable right after the extraction + * Designed for GNOME and XFCE desktop environments while preserving complete + independency (libraries are loaded dynamically when available) + * Extension-based file type actions (associations) + * Threaded file operations + * Large files (> 4GB) support + * Main application written in Object Pascal language (with FreePascal + as default compiler), plugins are written in C/C++ language + + +Using Object Pascal language might be considered as limiting factor, however +we recently switched to FreePascal compiler, solving many compatibility issues. +Also, the x86_64 port was introduced and is officially supported as well as +the i386 platform. Kylix compatibility will be still maintained though. +This project uses Pascal GTK2 bindings from the gtk2 for pascal project, +which are now part of FreePascal v2.0 distribution. + + + +Install +---------- +For installation and compilation instructions please follow the INSTALL file. + + +Testing +---------- +Tux Commander needs testing, I would be pleased if you will send any comments +or bug reports. When sending a bug report, please run "tuxcmd --debug" +and attach the log to your e-mail. + + -- cgit v1.2.3
