X file explorer linux

What is it ?

X File Explorer (Xfe) is an MS-Explorer or Commander like file manager for X. It is based on the popular, but discontinued, X Win Commander, originally developed by Maxim Baranov.
Xfe is developed since 2002 by Roland Baudin, a french Linux enthusiast.

Xfe aims to be the file manager of choice for all light thinking Unix addicts!

Why yet another file browser?

Yes, it’s a good question. Why another file manager when many excellent choices exist already? Why not use a full-blown, animated, bells-and-whistles file manager like Konqueror, Nautilus or Rox?

The answer is quite simple: Although all these file managers are feature rich and cleverly designed, let’s face it, they are huge! If you’re a console addict, light desktop user or have an older system, resource hogging file managers just aren’t the way to go. Especially since most file managers are Desktop dependent (KDE, Gnome, Xfce, etc.), requiring you to load all kinds of unwanted bloat onto your system.

So why XFE? Xfe is small, very fast and only requires the FOX library to be fully functional. Plus, it can be launched from the command line in a fraction of second. Xfe can also efficiently complete terminal commands. Personally, I use it in my everyday work and since I find it useful, I assume you will too!

X File Explorer

X File Explorer (Xfe) — легковесный, быстрый и простой файловый менеджер для Linux. Поддерживает двухпанельный режим.

X File Explorer простой, но в то же время функциональный файловый менеджер. Он поддерживает все базовые действия для работы с файлами, а также обладает другими полезными функциями. Отличается крайне низким потреблением оперативной памяти.

Внешний вид и интерфейс

В классическом режиме просмотра программа чем-то напоминает Проводник Windows. В левой части расположено дерево директорий. Справа список файлов. Сверху меню и панель инструментов с кнопками. Внизу строка состояния.

Над списком файлов отображается путь до текущей директории с возможностью перехода к любой директории внутри пути. Также есть отдельная строка адреса в текстовом виде.

Интерфейс очень простой и без излишеств.

Элементы интерфейса можно отключать через меню Вид .

Изначально программа была основана на файловом менеджере X Win Commander, который уже не развивается. Его особенность как раз заключалась в том, что внешне он был очень похож на Windows Explorer (Проводник).

Помимо классического внешнего вида поддерживается двухпанельный режим, режим с одной панелью, а также двухпанельный с деревом каталогов.

Поддерживаются темы оформления. Сменить тему можно через меню Правка→Настройки→Темы . Тема меняет цветовую схему. Также изменить тему иконок.

Возможности программы

Некоторые из возможностей программы Xfe:

Несколько режимов интерфейса:
- Одна панель
- Дерево файлов и одна панель
- Двухпанельный режим
- Двухпанельный режим с деревом файлов
- Значки
- Список
- Таблица
Помимо файлового менеджера в состав программы входят следующие утилиты:
- xfw — X File Write — простой текстовый редактор.
- xfi — X File Image — простой просмотрщик изображений.
- xfp — X File Package — утилита для установки, удаления и просмотра RPM и DEB пакетов.
Заключение

Программа написана на языке C++ и использует библиотеку (тулкит) FOX, которая предназначена для создания графических интерфейсов. Программа не имеет других зависимостей (кроме FOX), поэтому не привязана к какой-либо среде рабочего стола.

Xfe полностью переведена на русский язык.

Make your Linux computer feel faster with the Xfe file manager

The Xfe file manager, whether you use it for speed or just because it’s a reliable app that’s got everything you need, is an excellent choice for a file manager.

Computers are like filing cabinets, full of virtual folders and files waiting to be referenced, cross-referenced, edited, updated, saved, copied, moved, renamed, and organized. In this article, I’ll look at a file manager for your Linux system.

Back before NVMe drives and 12-core processors, applications could take seconds to launch. While that wait time is fine for a big application like LibreOffice or Blender, it’s a little painful when it’s a tiny application you use frequently. 2 seconds times 10 file manager windows in an hour, times 12 hours a day, is 4 whole minutes of wasted time. OK, I admit that’s actually not that much when you do the math, but ask anybody and they’ll tell you that it felt like 4 hours. One way to make a computer, whether it’s last year’s model or something hot off the shelf, feel faster is to use «lightweight» applications. An application is usually considered lightweight when it’s designed around minimal code libraries that don’t demand much from your system’s resources.

The X File Explorer (Xfe) file manager is one of those applications. It’s quick to launch, it doesn’t feature fancy animations or effects, and it has few dependencies beyond some basic libraries, most of which are probably already on your Linux system.
