gentoo
gentoo is a two-pane graphical file manager. This application
lets users do almost all of the configuration and customizing from
within the software. If you still prefer to hand-edit configuration
files, they are easy to work with as they are written in a readable
format
(XML).
One of the design goals with gentoo has been to provide
extensive customization and configuration abilities, and to do
so from an integrated, graphic, interface. The user should not
have to edit the configuration file directly "by hand", and
especially not have to restart the program for changes to take
effect.
gentoo offers a fairly complex and powerful file
identification system, coupled to an object-oriented style system,
which together provide control of how files of different types are
displayed and acted upon. Additionally, over a hundred pixmap images
are available to be used in file type descriptions.
gentoo uses the GTK+ toolkit and is written from scratch in C.
It
attempts to capture the look and feel of Directory Opus, a notable file
manager
written for the Amiga home computer.
Features include:
- Reasonably small and fast
- Aims to be completely graphically configurable
- Support for most common file operations (copy, move,
rename, makedir etc)
- Uses GIO, which means file system access is virtualized
- Direct graphical configuration of most main features
- Powerful file recognition system that allows you to
configure how files
of different types are listed (what colors and icons), and what happens
when you doubleclick them (start image viewers, music players, etc)
- Includes more than 120 original pixmap icons (16x15 in size)
