  • status bar now shows correct total number of files if the updir entry .. is shown
  • fixed bug with context menus of toolsbars being very small at the bottom of the screen
  • fixed bug with transparent dir link handling that occured sometimes if the directory name was only one character

  • Prefixing an action for a filetype with an ‘x’ will open an xterm to execute that action just as it does for the command line. This just saves you from typing ‘xterm -e sh -c “action”‘. This also works for user commands, toolbar buttons, and just about anywhere else you can type a command.
  • Added Ctrl+W shortcut to open and close the output window

  • Added a user-defined commands menu which is activated with Ctrl+Right Click. I feel this is a better option than user-defined buttons (esp. since it means i don’t have to go muck around with the button code 🙂
  • Now the macros for Filetype actions are the same as those for user commands. eg. %D = the inactive directory etc.. This allows you to add an action to untar a tarball into the inactive directory (let me know if you have any other uses for this).
  • Changed the way the confirmation dialogs work internally so that they now work with drag and drop also.
  • Removed the “Browse” menu option. I couldn’t think of anything that would make it useful and I eventually forgot that it was even there so..
  • Fixed problem that was causing a compile-time error on Solaris 2.6. Thanks Maksim.
  • Drag and Drop is now aided by highlighting the active row. Also fixed a problem that wouldn’t let you copy to a dir if it was the last entry in the list

0.6.2

  • Fixed lots of crashes
  • Added Drag and Drop capabilities. Drag and Drop is initiated with the middle mouse button. When you release the button, a menu will popup asking what operation (copy/move/symlink) you want to perform.
  • Added a special function menu which is activated with Shift+Right Click. The menu includes Glob operations and some other convenience functions.
  • Prefixing an ‘x’ to a command on the command line will open an xterm to execute the rest of the command. For example ‘x man fopen’ will open an xterm with the manpage for fopen.
  • Typing a ‘cd’ command now changes the current directory
  • Status bar now shows number of files selected/total files
  • Added ‘X’ toolbar button to open an xterm
  • Added FULL tab completion support for command line

  • Added shortcuts to the filelist menus
  • Added Ctrl+Z shortcut to switch focus between filelist and command line
  • Added Ctrl+H shortcut to switch focus to the directory entry
