Larsen Commander is an ongoing development project of mine.
I am trying to make this one of the best File Managers in
the universe, for both OS/2 and Windows. The basics are
finished and works well by now.
Some facts
* Nice, attractive and highly customizable look
and feel.
* The program actually works very well, and it is quick too.
* Powerful and user friendly at the same time.
* Built in GUI Console and Command Line Prompt with History.
* You can SET environment variables directly in the shell.
* Preserves the Command and Directory History between sessions.
* File Columns are no wider than the widest item of the respective Column.
* Platform independent human editable INI-file.
* Easy creation of Program and Shadow Objects on Desktop.
* Built in command line commands: PUSHD, POPD, R, SET, TAG, WHICH, +++
* All built in commands can be disabled on a per-command basis.
* Almost all commands are accessable by keyboard shortcuts.
* Directory Cache with smart CD command.
* Built in Extended Attribute Viewer.
* Smart Program Launching.
* Toolbar bubble help.
Changes since the previous public release
* Toolbar buttons bubble help.
* You can now tag files by holding the CONTROL key down while mouse clicking.
* The "Hidden Files" command now toggles both hidden and system files.
* Larsen Commander now run also on Warp prior to Warp 4 with fixpack #4.
* Child processes that are started from the command line and tries to
read from its STDIN should now work.
* The command line will now be colored with a special color whenever
a child program (if it was started from the command line) reaches a
point where it tries to read something from its STDIN. The color is set
back to normal as soon as you have given any input by pressing enter.
* You no longer have to hold the mouse button down to see the hint text in
the status bar.
* Use CTRL+I to toggle the visibility of icons in the current file panel.
* Use CTRL+F9 to open the sorting options dialog of the current file panel.
* Use ALT+SHIFT+F5 to toggle the visibility of the tool bar.
* Use ALT+SHIFT+F6 to toggle the visibility of the command line.
* Use ALT+SHIFT+F7 to toggle the visibility of the key bar.
* Use ALT+SHIFT+F8 to toggle the visibility of the status bar.
* Use ALT+SHIFT+F9 to toggle full "screen" file panels.
* Use CTRL+N to activate the menu bar. This is the same as pressing F9.
Nice if you are used to File Commander/2.
* Text on the console monitor was scrolled outside visible area if pressing
SHIFT+UP when there was fewer lines of text in it than the height of the
monitor. This was true for a number of other key combinations as well.
* All the internal commands of Larsen Commander can now be enabled or disabled
in a user friendly manner on the new "Commands" page of the options dialog.
* The Progress Bar overflowed when copy or move file(s) that contained a huge
number of bytes (more than aproximately 25 MBytes).
* New toolbar button: "Open WPS Folder".
* Typing "CD\INCOMING" at the command prompt will now operate the same
as if
"CD \INCOMING" was typed. Nice if you are used to CMD.EXE.
* CTRL+F8 (Reverse Sort) did not work at all.
* LCMD crashed when trying to scroll an empty console monitor
with SHIFT+UP or SHIFT+DOWN.
* New popup menu (with View, Edit, Copy, Move, Delete, etc. commands) when
Right-Click on a selected or marked file name item in the File Panels.
* New commands in command line popup menu: "Enter", "Execute in new
session",
"Previous command", "Next command" and "Command history".
* Entering "start" at the command prompt did not start a new OS/2 window.
* Major redesign of the way that a file object is launched from file panels.
This fixes the problem that caused VIO programs to be executed in
a background window. They are now launched in the foreground Z-order as they
should. This change also fixed the problem that Larsen Commander did lock
the Single Input Queue of OS/2 when launching WAV-files (among others).
* Drive size information in the Info Panel was not updated upon Panel Reread.
* Reduced the size of the executable file simply by changing the color
and resolution format of several icons. Also changed the salmon bitmap
from 256 colors to 16 colors. Executable size reduced by about 40 KBytes.
* Program name and parameters was clipped at 32 characters in
the various program pages of the options dialog.
