Re: Re[2]: [newbie] looking for good apps
terminal window - it takes too long to open. I have to move away from the keyboard, grab my mouse and click onto the terminal window, then back to the keyboard. In Windows Commander I just type and it automatically gets into the command line. Is there anything like that in Linux where I could type in some command and it would automattically execute a terminal window with the given command? If you make a launcher on your desktop, you should have the ability to select 'Run In Terminal'. This will open the terminal window and start the app. d) directory hotlist (where you can add fav. dirs to jump to) I believe KDE as a user menu in the pop-up which you can configure. Is there any shortcut for the hotlist ? Cos this again means reaching for my mouse and back again just to change a dir. I'm using Gnome, but I believe both KDE has it also... there's a menu editor, and for the life of me I can't figure out where Mandrake has put it, and you can put you hotlist in the user panel, or "favourites". --Greg __ message envoye depuis http://www.ifrance.com emails (pop)-sites persos (espace illimite)-agenda-favoris (bookmarks)-forums Ecoutez ce message par tel ! : 08 92 68 92 15 (france uniquement)
Re: [newbie] looking for good apps
snip 1. A file manager of the type Windows Commander. That means I would like something that has: a) two file windows and *no* directory tree (that's why I don't use the KDE file manager) I use/like KDE so I'll leave this alone For kde you can use konquerer which does multiple panes, etc of course, the best file manager is the cli :) Larry
Re: [newbie] looking for good apps
I've intermingled my answers below: I would need: 1. A file manager of the type Windows Commander. That means I would like something that has: a) two file windows and *no* directory tree (that's why I don't use the KDE file manager) See Freshmeat.net for FileRunner b) icon bar from where I can start apps KDE should already have this available (I use gnome-it certainly has that ability)) c) command line Terminal window. d) directory hotlist (where you can add fav. dirs to jump to) I believe KDE as a user menu in the pop-up which you can configure. e) internal packer support (not just the standard gzip and bzip, but also ARJ, RAR, ACE) Look on the CD, or the Kpackage manager for utilities--if you're running Mandrake, it's probably already installed. 2. An image file viewer like ACDSee, that has: see Freshmeeat.net for xv. Mandrake may also have installed for you--in Terminal type: rpm -q xv and see what it tells you. a) a browser where I can preview the images b) a fullscreen imageviewer which can shrink to fullscreen and zoom to fullscreen (if image is larger/smaller) c) and is FAST. I found Kuickshow quite suiting my needs unless I tried to zoom onto an 1024*768. After pressing '+' for the fifth time I waited about 20 seconds for it to zoom... 3. An HTML editor like HomeSite, that has: a) HTML validation b) syntax highlighting (I know VIM has) c) included help to tags (with explanation to them as well as examples) Try bluefish, also: see freshmeat.net --Greg * Want free email?

GQview ( http://gqview.sourceforge.net/) does everything you want I think. 3.

Quanta reminds me more of Homesite though. I don't think they have everything you want, but you can try them for yourself. -- Anthony http://binaryfusion.net Computers are not intelligent.
