Icons were taken from different file managers: gentoo, xplore, dfm, nautilus, and
some of them were modified.
This software uses the FOX Toolkit Library (http://www.fox-toolkit.org).
You must use the stable Fox version 1.0.36 (required!) or higher. Xfe cannot be build using the
Fox 1.1.x series.
Description
~~~~~~~~~~~
X File Explorer (xfe) is a lightweight file manager for X11, written using the FOX toolkit.
It is desktop independent and can easily be customized.
It has Windows Commander or MS-Explorer look and it's very fast and small.
Xfe is based on the popular, but discontinued X Win Commander, written by Maxim Baranov.
Features
~~~~~~~~
- One or two file panels
- Directory List (optional)
- Commander/Explorer interface
- Integrated text viewer (X File View, xfv)
- Integrated RPM viewer / installer / uninstaller (X File Query, xfq)
- Status line
- File associations
- Auto save registry
- Right mouse click pop-up menu
- Change file(s) attributes
- Mount/Unmount devices (for Linux only)
- Bookmarks
- Color schemes (GNOME, KDE, Windows...)
- Drag and Drop ( ctrl - copy, shift - move, alt - sym link )
- Create / Extract archives (tar, zip, gzip, bzip2, compress formats are supported)
- Tool tips for long file names
- Progress bars or dialogs for lengthy file operations
- Key bindings:
o F7 - new folder
o ctrl-del - delete
o F9 - attributes
o ctrl-q - quit
o bspace - go up
o ctrl-h - go home
o ctrl-a - select all
o ctrl-i - invert selection
o ctrl-m - mount
o ctrl-u - umount
o ctrl-r - refresh
o ctrl-c - copy to clipboard
o ctrl-x - cut to clipboard
o ctrl-v - paste from clipboard
Install
~~~~~~~
Type :
./configure
make
make install
or use the RPM package for Redhat and compatibles Linux distributions.
Configuration
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Note, you don't have to edit any configuration files by hand, but
you may want to know, how the FOX registry works.
By default system-wide configuration file Desktop is located in
/usr/local/lib/foxrc, which is overridden in ~/.foxrc/Desktop and
the latter is overridden in ~/.foxrc/Xfe.
Every FOX application reads the file Desktop, but Xfe is specific to the
X File Explorer.
PNG Icons are in /usr/local/lib/foxicons. You can change the path in
Options->Change icon path.
(you may want to change it, if Xfe is not installed in /usr/local)
Bugs
~~~~
Please report bugs to me (roland65@free.fr).
Patches
~~~~~~~
If you've done some interesting patch, please send it to me, I will try to include it in the next release...
Enjoy!
Many thanks to Maxim Baranov for his excellent X Win Commander and to Guillaume Cottenceau for useful hacks.
