NAME
TkDesk - a Graphical File and Desktop Manager for the X Window System
SYNOPSIS
tkdesk [-configdir dir] [-debug] [-default] [-develop] [-iconic] [-layout file]
[-startdir dir] [-twm] [-?|--help]
DESCRIPTION
TkDesk provides a rich set of functions to help you manage your files and efficiently
navigate your file systems. It also provides several desktop and system managing
capabilities such as accessing the external devices of your workstation, starting
programs, monitoring the system load and mailbox etc.
The main parts of TkDesk are the following:
1. One or more file browser windows (or just "browsers"). These display the contents of
the currently selected directory in the rightmost listbox and the contents of a
configurable number of parent directories in the listboxes left to it. In addition this
window contains a menu bar, a button bar, and a status bar.
2. One or more file list windows. These display the contents of just the currently
selected directory. These windows also contain a menu bar, a button bar, and may also
contain a status bar.
3. An application bar (or "appbar"). This is a set of buttons displaying icons or other
graphical output that can be configured to execute certain commands. All of the buttons
provide a possibly cascaded popup menu that is accessed by pressing the right mouse button
over any appbar button. Files may be dragged from any file browser or list window and
dropped onto appbar buttons that have been configured to be drag'n'drop targets. The
contents of the appbar is configured in the "AppBar" configuration file (located in
"~/.tkdesk").
4. The built-in editor (or just "editor"). The editor provides multiple buffers in the
same window, virtually unlimited "undo", marks, search and replace, etc. Files may be
dropped onto any editor window from TkDesk's file listboxes or the desktop.
BASIC USAGE
The listboxes contained in the file browser and list windows display the contents of their
respective directory. They provide the following mouse button bindings:
Single-1
Select the file under the mouse pointer, deselect all others.
Control-Single-1
Select or deselect the file under the mouse pointer, without deselecting any other
file.
Shift-Single-1
Select all files between and including the one under the mouse pointer and the one
that was last selected by Single-1 or Control-Single-1. Deselect all others.
Double-1
Select and open the file under the mouse pointer, deselect all others. The command
that will be used to open the file is the first entry of the file's popup menu (see
next item).
Control-Double-1
Select the file under the mouse pointer, and ask for a command to be executed on
that file.
Press-2
Used to initiate a drag and drop operation. Valid drop targets are all other file
listboxes, appbar buttons that have been configured to be drag'n'drop targets,
editor windows, and the root window (a.k.a. desktop).
Press-3
Display the file's or directory's popup menu. The contents of these menus are
configured in the "Popups" configuration file (located in "~/.tkdesk").
The display options of any file listbox can be configured through the menubutton right
above the listbox, displaying the name of the displayed directory, and the file mask
currently set. It can also be used as a drag and drop source (by pressing mouse button 2)
and target.
TkDesk makes heavy use of cascading popup menus. Basically in every text entry field
that's used for entering paths of file names pressing the right mouse button brings up a
popup menu of parent directories. Next to most test entry field there is a menu button
displaying a turned-over triangle that gives access to a menu containing a history of
entered strings.
OPTIONS
-configdir dir
By default TkDesk reads its configuration either from the files contained in the
directory "~/.tkdesk" (see section FILES below), or if it does not exist, from
TkDesk's library directory (usually "/usr/local/lib/TkDesk"). This options lets
TkDesk load its configuration files from directory dir.
-debug Switch on "debug mode". This generates some output on stderr that may be used for
debugging purposes.
-default
Let TkDesk read its configuration from its library directory. This means that
TkDesk will start using the default configuration.
-develop
Switch on "development mode". This adds a "Development" submenu to the "TkDesk"
menu.
-iconic
Open all file browser and list windows in iconic state when TkDesk starts up.
-layout file
Load and save TkDesk's window layout from and to file. If file doesn't exist the
default layout is used.
-startdir dir
Display dir in the first file browser window that's opened.
-twm Some window managers, namely twm cannot handle icon windows correctly. TkDesk uses
these for colored icons. This options switches to monochrome icons.
-?, --help
Displays the command line options available.
