<para>The OFM file manager concept contains
|
|
<link linkend="features">many features</link> that make them
|
|
powerful enough to belong among the best file managers today.
|
|
The interface is simple: left panel, right panel and a command
|
|
line below. Because of interaction between these three items
|
|
the file managing will become more efficient.</para>

|

how &krusader; works</ulink> you can try it yourself,

just install it on your computer. To accept an

&ofm-url; like &krusader;, the user needs

to get used to
|
|
<emphasis>new ideas</emphasis> that are actually already 20

years old. If you prefer to waste time and lose a lot of

<para>The &krusader; Main Toolbar, is a standard

|
&kde; toolbar that can be dragged around the
|
|
application or configured via a
|
|
<keycap>Right-Click</keycap> menu. You can decide whether or
|
|
not you want to display it each time you start
|
|
&krusader; in the &konfigstartpg-lnk;,
|
|
and you can toggle its use in the current session in the
|
|
&viewmenu-lnk;. The Main Toolbar contents can be
|
|
configured from the
|
|
<guimenuitem>Configure Toolbars</guimenuitem> in the
|
|
&settingsmenu-lnk; or the
|
|
<guilabel>Toolbar</guilabel> tab in the
|
|
&konfiglookandfeel-lnk;. Since various commands
|
|
and options in &krusader; are context-dependent,
|
|
some commands are not always available. The icon of an
|
|
inappropriate or inactive action will be deactivated
|
|
(grayed-out) disabling its use. &bookmarks-lnk;
|
|
can be placed into the Main Toolbar and the Actions Toolbar
|

with the mouse using "drag and drop".</para>

selected path is too long, it will be automatically shortened
|

and an ellipsis "..." will replace the omitted part of the
|

path name. When entering archives the path will be displayed
|
|
in the following format: "archive
|
|
name:/directory/archive_filename/the directory inside the

&kioslaves1-url; but not all of them, some can

<para>The &krusader; panels are where most of the

action takes place. Currently, there are two types of panels:
|
|
<itemizedlist>
|

<listitem>

<para>&list-panel-lnk;: shows the files and

<para>&popup-panel-lnk;: has several display

the file or directory that has the focus. The PopUp Panel
|
|
may be left open or closed, as desired.</para>
|
|
</listitem>
|
|
</itemizedlist>&krusader; is a "twin-panel" file
|
|
manager so there are two panels: the "Left" panel and the
|
|
"Right" panel, or a more important logical distinction, the
|
|
*Active* panel and the *Inactive* panel. The active panel is
|
|
the one that will accept your mouse and keyboard input. If you
|
|
choose a command from the
|
|
<guilabel>Menu-Bar</guilabel> or
|
|
<guilabel>Toolbar</guilabel> the command will act upon the
|
|
selected files/directories in the active panel. You can switch
|
|
between panels using the 	 key or by clicking on
|
|
the
|
|
<guilabel>Information or Totals labels</guilabel>, or by
|
|
selecting any file in a panel with the mouse. As always,
|
|
default startup settings can be modified with the
|
|
&konfigstartpg-lnk;, and you control the current
|
|
session with the &viewmenu-lnk;.</para>

changes: the
