Description : SpaceFM is a multi-panel tabbed file manager for Linux with built-in VFS, udev-based device manager, customizable menu system, and bash integration.
Highlights:
- Lightweight - Written in C with GTK2 stability, inotify kernel and libudev support
- Responsive - Built-in vfs runs fast with low resource usage (no gvfs, etc)
- Flexible - Can appear very simple or very complex depending on configuration
- Multiple Windows - A single instance opens multiple windows
- Multiple Panels - Each window contains up to four independently configured and interactive browser panels plus a task manager pane
- Tabbed - Each browser panel supports multiple folder tabs
- Side Panes - Any browser panel can show Devices, Bookmarks, and Directory Tree side panes
- Desktop Manager - Includes a built-in, lightweight DM mode with custom commands - works great with Openbox
- Device Manager - Built-in udev support for manual and automatic device management, plus easily format, backup and restore partitions and MBRs
- Conveniently mount network URLs (nfs:// ftp:// smb:// ssh://) and ISO files (requires udevil)
- Task Manager - Control or eliminate popup dialogs with multi-tasking abilities - no waiting to move on to your next task
- MIME - Manages MIME file types and default actions
- Custom Menus and Toolbars - Its unique Design Mode allows you to quickly change any menu or toolbar item name, shortcut key, or icon, and insert your own commands or submenus anywhere
- SpaceFM Dialog - easily create, use, and control custom dialogs
- Plugins - Install, copy, and export custom commands as plugins
- Bash Integration - Built-in bash scripting support for custom commands, with file manager data exported as bash variables
- Output Control - Monitor the stdout/stderr output of built-in and custom commands, with error detection and popup control, or run commands in a terminal
- Fonts & Icons - Easily configure custom fonts and icons in each panel or pane for a unique look
- Styles - Show files as icons or in lists with selectable columns
- Find-As-You-Type - File list allows you to quickly locate a file with a case-insensitive substring search of filenames - just type a few letters
- File Search - Flexibly search for file names, sizes, content, etc. with no daemons
- System Management - Safely perform quick commands as root or run a root instance
- File Management - Extensive move, copy, link, drag-n-drop, and clipboard control
- Archives - Single-click, in-program archive creation and extraction, or use external apps
- Daemon Mode - Run in the background to automount devices and autorun apps, and quickly open browser windows
- Alternate Builds - deprecated support for hal (replaces udev) and fam/gamin (replaces inotify)
It is recommended to use SpaceFM with udevil (http://ignorantguru.github.com/udevil/) to utilize flexible local and network mount features.
