WISH File Rusher 2008 is a simple file manager for Linux/Unix file systems, inspired by Henrik Harmsen's FileRunner 2.5.1. It's written entirely in Tcl/Tk, and requires Tcl and Tk 8.5 (or greater, when there is an even greater version). Features include the following, among others:
* Like FileRunner, WISH File Rusher uses the highly efficient "select-and-click" procedure for copying, moving, or linking files (i.e., just select the files from the left or right column and click a button in the middle column), rather than the less efficient "drag-and-drop" procedure.
* Navigation features include bookmarks and Top, Up, Home, Back, Forth, Match, and Go (history list) buttons.
* New subdirectories to any depth can be created simply by adding all subdirectory names to the left or right directory entry line and pressing Enter or clicking New Dir.
* Procedure for associating file types with programs for displaying or editing files is easy and obvious.
* File name, size, "time stamp," permissions (in 3-digit form), and owner are displayed at all times in left and right multi-column lists with flexible-width columns.
* Find button will open WISH File Puller (forthcoming!) to search the contents of a selected directory.
* Command button allows quick execution and display of output from a specified command using WISH Mini-Console (if installed) on all selected files.
* Size Up button allows quick calculation of total size of selected files or directories.
* Own/Grp and Perms buttons allow quick display and change of file owner, group, and permissions.
* Tar, Zip, Untar, and Unzip buttons allow easy creation and extraction of tar and zip archives.
WISH File Rusher 2008 is available in a "tar.gz" package including the program, documentation, and a simple installation script for Linux/Unix operating systems.
rgf 2008 Mar 19 Tried expanding *.tar.gz, making the recommended path changes, and needed to edit code in the 'colorschemes' part of the script to get it running because I had no ~/.wishes directory. I've experimented with the script and like much of its functionality. I did find, however, clicking the 'HELP' button generates an 'invalid command userhelp', and clicking on a column title button generates an 'invalid command softfiles'. Am I missing something?
