A RISC OS-like filer for X by Thomas Leonard
ROX-Filer is a simple and easy to use graphical file manager for X11, the windowing system used on Unix and Unix-like operating systems. It is also the core component of the ROX Desktop.
If you downloaded a source or binary tarball directly, type this ($ is the shell prompt) to compile the filer.
$ make install
Then, type the following to run it:
$ ./build/usr/bin/literocks

ROX-Filer was created by Thomas Leonard, but many people have contributed to it one way or another...
If you think you should be included here then write and tell me ;-)
First, a few people/projects whose work I've used:
- Andrew Clover: most of the file icons;
- David MacKenzie: the code for parsing Permissions commands;
- John Lindal: co-author of the XDS protocol;
- Midnight Commander: the Virtual File System library & pinboard bits;
- GNOME Desktop: some of the icons (including the toolbar);
- Red Hat: MIME type guessing library.
A huge number of people have submitted code, suggestions and
encouragement - many of them are listed in the
Changes.md file... thanks!
