About
Author: Martin Herrmann
File manager for UNIX with X11 written in Perl/Tk.
One window, four rows:
directorys, files, directorys, files
You can do most of the things you usually do with a file manager, like
copy, move, rename, delete, but also view and edit a lot of file types.
Mafima navigation is a little bit like in a WWW browser, you can go down
one directory with a down button, you have a hotlist (like Bookmarks
or Favorits) and you have a history list of directorys - to jump back
to any directory you have already visited with just one mouse click.
I wrote Mafima just for me, to see what's possible with Perl/Tk, but maybe
someone else can use it too ...
Of course I give no warranty at all, so if you accidently delete all you
files, corrupt your harddisk or burn down your computer it's your own
problem.
I use Mafima as my one and only file manager now,
and it works pretty good for me ...
