no-herd vapier@gentoo.org Mike Frysinger Evidence - file-manager * Sports different views so whatever you are doing, you'll have the most intuitive grasp on your files: o icon-view (efm-like and fully themable) o browser-view -- perfect for those MP3/Ogg directories! Do you ever get fed up going down two levels (from music to artist to album) for each song you want to add to a playlist, then going back to music for the next song? Then this is for you. o tree-view * Also features a "micro-shell" (a la efm-"typebuffer") for keyboard-afficionados o Selected a group of unlikely-named files in the GUI, then apply a shell-command to them! o Pick some files and paste that (primary) selection into your favourite shell or editor! * May be built against enlightenment 17 libraries for state-of-the-art eye-candy and pluggable themes. o Compose icons out of any number of evas objects such as images or gradients, with on-the-fly tinting/shading and alpha composition. o Use jpg, png, or ebg.edb (e17 background database made with ebony, optionally composed on top of pseudo-transparency) as a backdrop o Plugins are determined by a theme-file. Support for features not used by a given theme (e.g. pseudo-transparency) need not be loaded. Make themes as outlandish eye-candy as they get, or save loads of memory if you don't! No bloat! o Plugins can be built/added at a later date without having to rebuild the main application. * Supports plugins for custom Meta-Data such as MP3/Ogg song titles, picture dimensions, and more. o Comes with example plugins for Ogg/Vorbis, MP3, and images, turning evidence into a MP3/ID3/Vorbis tag editor right out of the box. o Plugins for your own file-types are easily written. o Plugins are loaded on-demand. For example, the MP3 plugin will not be loaded until you access the first MP3 file. It will also be unloaded if haven't touched a MP3-file in a while. No bloat. o Plugins can be built/added at a later date without having to rebuild the main application. * Pluggable backends. If you want to go above and beyond UNIX/POSIX file-ops, use an alternate backend supporting efsd (the enlightened file-system daemon), GNOME-VFS or kioslaves (forthcoming). o Default "POSIX" backend supports Access Control Lists and Extended Attributes. o Plugins can be built/added at a later date without having to rebuild the main application.
