Worker is a file manager for X-Window on UNIX.
The dirs and files are shown in two independent panels (similar to MidnightCommander).
Worker was developed using the following configuration:
Slackware 7.0
Linux 2.2.13
libc6 (glibc2.1)
X11R6
GCC-Compiler (egcs)
· Worker was succesfully tested on the following systems:
Linux
2.2.5
libc6
X11R6
GCC-Compiler (egcs)
Sun Sparcstation
SunOS 5.6
GCC-Compiler
Solaris 2.6
FreeBSD 2.2.2
Here are some key features of "Worker":
· runs directly under X11, so it's fast and has low requirements
· completely graphical
· With the also graphical built-in configuration program you can change the configuration without restarting the program
many built-in functions like:
· copy/move
· rename
· delete
· create dir
· create/change symlinks
· and many more...
· With the so called "own command" any external program can be integrated into the GUI and they can also use the selected files to work with them.
· With it the functionality can be easily expanded and Worker can be used as a GUI for programs without a GUI (e.g. tar, diff, rcs, mount, ...)
Requirements:
· A running UNIX-Sytem
· A running X-Window-System
· C++-Compiler (GCC recommended)
What's New in This Release: [ read full changelog ]
new features:
· added "change layout" operation to change the main window layout during runtime
· different weights may be used for the list views
· added option to the "search entry" operation to match inside file name
· Worker shows possible keys for double shortkeys in the state bar
fixes:
· fixed message about importing special file types, original and new one was swapped
· fixed bug for label colors, it was possible that a color from an entry in a sub directory was used instead of the correct one
other changes:
· added Latvian translation(Thanks to Einars Sprugis)
· changed tab text to only show base name instead of full path
added some hotkeys to default configuration for layout changes:
· Ctrl+l 1 will make left list view wider (80%/20% partitioning)
· Ctrl+l 2 will make both list views use 100% of the window width
· added some hotkeys to show current path on the other side in a new tab (Alt+o and Alt+Shift+o)
· the "go to directory" operation now accepts file names and will highlight the given file in the corresponding directory.
· There is an example button "go symlink" to follow a symlink to its real destination changed mount/unmount button to give some message if the operation failed
