cft - Configurable File Tool
Version: 0.92
Requirements:tcl/Tk 8.0 or above
Description:
This tool will allow one to mkdir, browse, view, copy, move, delete, duplicate,
rename, and convert-ascii files on Unix or Windows systems. It uses the tcl
file command to perform the 'file' actions. The graphic extensions
recognized are those supported by the core TK image types (.gif, .xbm, .ppm and .pgm).
Book-marked directories can be saved by using the bookmark icon on the menu bar.
An [X] icon on the toolbar deletes the current directory entry from the
bookmark list(see Help Bookmark). The find boxes next to the
Directories and Files labels allow one to quickly find directories or
files by typing in some matching letters. The down arrow on the keybord
allows one to continue the search if the first item found was not the item requested,
and more items in the list box contained matching letters.
cft can be customized to incorporate commands simply by adding them
using the Configure Options menu (see Help under the Configure Options menu).
cft can also be extended to open a file with a particular extension with an
application of choice using the ADD - Associated File Types
(see Help under the Associated File Types menu).
Navigating:
The tool is driven by double-clicking on directories to cd to that
directory. A single left-mouse button-click selects a file or directory. A
single right-mouse button-click selects a pop-up menu with options.
Selecting an option from the pop-up menu completes the operation.
Double-clicking on a file opens the file in a browser, or if one of the
core image types, a button is created with file's image in it.
History:
cft was originally just a collection tcl proc's to help in
day-to-day activities. It occurred to me that at the rate I was adding
stuff to the utility, the tool would become unmanageable. I decided, for
better or worse, to dump all global references into one large array (PREFS)
and concentrate on a simple way of saving user-defined commands. This
enabled the tool to become a little more manageable. Since I spend most of
my time on Unix systems, I left in chmod, tarit, gzip, and unpackit. I also
left in some handy RCS source code control commands that I use every-day.
Platforms Tested:
cft has been tested on Solaris, IRIX, Linux, NT, and Windows. With
some slight modifications to areas that test for tcl_platform, it
could be used on Mac's and other untested platforms.
