DESCRIPTION
xftree is the File Manager of XFce, the Cholesterol Free Desktop Environment.
QUICK REFERENCE
Starting xftree will use the home directory as the default root directory if no directory is specified.
Right mouse button: pops up a context menu (which depends on selected items).
Left mouse button: select an item; [SHIFT] allow selection of multiple items and [CTRL] will add/remove items to the selection.
Middle mouse button: useful for drag and drop, as the selection will not be changed.
DoubleClick: start the selected application or if the item is a regular file, start the registered program and pass the file name as argument.
Alt+DoubleClick: same as above but start in a terminal program. If the item is a directory, change the root of the tree to that directory.
Drag and Drop: By default, drag and drop copy the items. If [SHIFT] is pressed during drag, items are moved instead of copied. The same way, holding [CTRL+SHIFT] during drag'n drop will link the items. Drag and drop of URL is allowed, e.g. from mozilla. The corresponding file will be downloaded.
