SEH Looks nice! A good cross-platform tcl file browser has been needed for a long time. Can you drag/drop or copy/paste files and directories between window panes?
schlenk I don't think you can yet. (The author asked how to implement it here [L2 ] )
AM It certainly looks impressive :) I guess the easiest way to implement drag-and-drop would be to use BWidget (or look for clues in that package).
EU Thank you very much ;) At the moment I don't have the time to implement D'n'D, but the Commander is easy to use with the function keys or the file menu (right mouse button). I use it this way every day at work !
MHo On Windows, EU-Commander is very (!) slow in accessing network drives. The GUI seems to block sometimes...
EU I know these problems on windows, but maybe you can try to turn off the 'AutoRescan' !?
MHo AutoRescan Off doesn't seem to solve the problem. Operations on network drives stay very very slow :-(
MHo 2007-02-08 Just downloaded the latest v0.82 and made a view quick tests:
EU As I said before, me and my colleaques use the Commander every day at work on HP-UX 11 and it works very good. When running under Linux I also have good experiences. But on the notebook (WinXP) I don't like to work with the Commander, everything is very slow, on the desktop (WinXP) it's faster !? I think it's a graphics problem, but I'm not sure.
EU I think I found the problem !? There were too many calls of 'directory rescan' after each action ! I fixed this bug and as far as I can say as an 'objective' user it's much faster now :-) (especially under Windows). This new version (V 0.84) will be published in a few days (sf.net). I'm just working on the implementation of 'tar' handling.
EU I have just installed the new ActiveTcl (8.4.15). There is a 'tremendous' speedup in working with the EU-Commander (V 0.84). Even loading large pictures is very fast now. With the new version I will also add the menu item 'Pages' to turn on/off certain pages (this was already implemented for the unix versions). Please give me some feedback.
MHo, 2007-12-14: Just downloaded the latest version and done a few (very) quick tests on w2k; I couldn't find performance issues anymore... will post further information as availabe...
