About SimFM
This is the homepage of the SimFM project.
SimFM is a small file manager for the GNU/Linux system and uses the
GTK+-2.x toolkit. Its goal is to be
small but powerful, efficient and to look nice. Since version 0.6 the whole
file manager is coded in the C++ programming language using
gtkmm, the C++ bindings for
the GTK+ toolkit.
The SimFM file manager was layouted with the Glade
GUI Builder for GTK+-2.0. Nevertheless, all the widgets are
hand coded. Currently, the source code is not well tested and
might not be stable but you can download a test version at the
download page.
The project infrastructure is hosted at
http://savannah.gnu.org.

News
The mass-renamer is now in-place and
ready to use. You can use regular expressions to mass-rename
files. These expressions are PERL compatible, the PERL interpreter
is called with a small code snippet which has the regex inside.
The file names are passed to the script and the renamed file names
are passed back to SimFM. SimFM does the renaming then.
There were no news for quite a long time, but
I'm happy to say that SimFM is still in active development and features
are continously added (slowly, but they are). I made a big step
forward with implementing IPC, only one instance of SimFM will run
at a time. If you start another one, the request will be dispatched
to the already running instance.
Try it!
The SVN sources has just been updated and the
long awaited file information dialog was added and is ready to
use. Download the new sources from SVN (
download page), compile and be delighted.
I inserted some nice images and some more
text to the
features page.
Here is the new SimFM Homepage! I hope it will
help getting some of you interested in SimFM or any other Project of
the Network.
