# The x11/xfm port

## xfm-1.4.3p5 – X11 File Manager

## Description

    XFM is a powerful file and applications manager program written using the X
    toolkit. It contains virtually all of the features that you would expect in a
    file manager -- move around your directory tree in multiple windows, and move,
    copy or delete files with simple mouse operations. Directory displays are
    updated automatically in regular intervals when the contents of a displayed
    directory changes. The integrated application manager allows you to load files
    into your favourite applications from the file manager by dragging icons. It
    can also be used as a "shelf" onto which you can place files and directories
    you are currently working with. A special LOAD action for application files
    enables you to manage different application groups.

    User-definable file types allow you to specify a command to be executed when
    double-clicking on a file or dropping other files onto it. The command can
    also prompt you for required parameters. Xfm makes it easy to configure
    special kinds of actions such as, e.g., replacing the contents of a compressed
    tar archive with a collection of selected files. A lot of corresponding
    examples can be found in the distribution, including a fully functional
    trashcan feature. Last not least, xfm can automatically mount and unmount
    special devices like floppies as you open and close the corresponding
    directories (mount points). So you won't have to fiddle around with mount or
    mtools commands any more if all you want to do is copy some files between the
    hard disk and your floppy drive.
