Package: Filer - GNUstep File Management Interface
System name: filer
Type: non-GNU
Description:
The project name is Filer.
Filer is a file management utility for GNUstep.
It is intended at this point as research into developing this sort of
software.
The program is intended to be an implementation of the \'spatial
finder\' described in the article:
http://arstechnica.com/paedia/f/finder/finder-1.html
It exists separately from GWorkspace (the \'official\' GNUstep file
manager) to explore other implementations and design decisions.
The initial functionality will be folder windows that contain icons
and labels for files and folders in a directory. From there other
windows may be opened to other folders. But at no point shall more
than one window be opened to the same folder. In this respect it is
the \'spatial finder\' rather than a \'finder browser\' (GWorkspace
would work as this sort of description). The article describes a
\'finder browser\' as more of a webbrowser but for file systems.
I have placed the current software package here:
http://members.rogers.com/jpt.d/filer.tgz (~11k)
Other Software Required:
The program to run on a free operating system is GNUstep -make, -base,
-gui, renaissance. (This is the primary operating system target)
The program also runs on Apple\'s MacOS X because of library
compatiblity, which also requires renaissance.
Other Comments:
The primary development platform is MacOS X because of the maturity of
the tools available. But at no point shall it work better on MacOS X.
Testing is performed regularly on any new code feature made.
