Daily Debian Package: worker (Two-Panel graphical file manager)

Worker is a dual-pane graphical file manager for X, similar to the curses-based Midnight Commander.

Unlike most other file managers for Linux, worker requires a minimum set of libraries (no QT or GTK), making it a lightweight and responsive program.

Worker can perform all the usual operations of a file manager (copy, move, rename, delete) and also some typical Unix functions, such as chmod, chown, create symlinks and hardlinks, etc… It is also possible to configure worker to use “helper programs” to deal with specific kinds of files, in such a way that hitting the ENTER key (or clicking) on a filename will automatically invoke the correct viewer for that filetype. Many other file-manipulation commands exist, and they can be assigned to hotkeys or buttons.

Another nice feature that will please those with large collections of pictures is the “image mode”, where one pane shows a fast preview of the currently selected image file on the adjacent pane.
