What Is 'twander'?
------------------
'twander' is a macro-programmable Filesystem Browser which 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 3100/1300 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 and a screen shot. Better still,
download the tarball and read the documentation.
