Subject: [ANN]: twander 3.193 Released And Available
=====BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE=====
Hash: SHA1
'twander' Version 3.193 is now released and available for download at:
~ http://www.tundraware.com/Software/twander
The last public release was 3.160.
Existing users are encouraged to upgrade to this release as it has
a number of bug fixes and several significant new features including:
~ - It is now possible to "filter" which files even appear in the
~ interface using an arbitrary (Python) regular expression.
~ This is very handy in large directories with, say, thousands
~ of files, when you only want to deal with some small subset of
~ those files.
~ - The configuration language now supports "Execution Variables" -
~ aka "backtick" variables - for embedding calls to external
~ programs into the configuration.
~ - User prompting now support default values. You can set a
~ user prompt and pre-load the most likely reponse to the question
~ in the reply dialog.
Complete details of all fixes, changes, and new features can be found in
the WHATSNEW.txt file included in the distribution.
Users are strongly encouraged to join the twander-users mailing list as
described in the documentation.
A FreeBSD port has been submitted as well.
What Is 'twander'?
- ------------------
'twander' is a macro-programmable Filesystem Browser that runs on both
Unix-like systems as well as Win32 systems. It embraces the best ideas
of both similar GUI-driven programs (Konqueror, Windows Explorer) as
well as text-based interfaces (Midnight Commander, List, Sweep).
Or, If You Prefer The "Elevator Pitch"
- --------------------------------------
'twander' is:
~ - A better file browser for Unix and Win32. (Tested on FreeBSD, Linux, Win32.)
~ - A way to make browsing the same on all the OSs you use.
~ - A macro-programmable tool that lets *you* define the features.
~ - A GUI navigation front-end for your shell.
~ - A way to "can" workflows for your technically-challenged colleagues.
~ - A way to free yourself from the shackles of the mouse.
~ - A way to significantly speed up your day-to-day workflow.
~ - A Python/Tkinter application - about 5000 lines of code/comments
~ - A RCT (Really Cool Tool) that will have you addicted in a day or two
See the web page for more information, a screen shot, and the complete
documentation.
