'''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?
